Our Story

The idea for Talent254 began with a clear and pressing need: German companies were struggling to find qualified professionals, while a shortage of trusted partners left Kenya's educated workforce virtually untapped. Our founders offered the perfect solution. With Founder Marie’s background in German hospitality and Co-Founder Trevor’s extensive Kenyan insight, they established a blend of European service standards and deep Kenyan market knowledge that hospitality organizations immediately sought out. They built Talent254 on this foundation of market insight and service excellence, creating the trusted Kenyan partner dedicated to finding that "ideal fit" that goes beyond the resume.

Today, we apply that same founding vision to a powerful opportunity: the Kenya-Germany bilateral labour agreement. This agreement connects Kenya's pool of educated professionals with Germany's strong economy. We are the experts who bridge this gap, guiding ambitious talent and partner companies through the entire process—from application to logistics—to ensure success from day one.
