Gloria Michelle Otieno
entrepreneur, Consultant, and CEO in Nairobi, Kenya
Gloria Michelle Otieno founded her business in 2013 in response to the alarming rates of youth unemployment in Kenya. Driven by a desire to be part of meaningful social change, she identified a critical gap in the Human Resource industry: many young people lacked the training and guidance needed to position themselves for opportunities in the job market.
Her mission was to build an award-winning Human Resources firm that goes beyond the traditional scope of HR services. With a strong focus on youth empowerment and a firm belief that global youth unemployment has practical solutions, she set out to transform the industry.
With nearly a decade of experience, Gloria has assembled a dynamic team dedicated to forging long-term client partnerships, offering deep expertise, and delivering comprehensive solutions in Recruitment, Training, Staff Outsourcing, Payroll, and HR Consultancy.
Today, her company — Recours Four Kenya Consultants Limited — is a thriving professional services firm based in Nairobi. The firm’s success has attracted repeat clients and global recognition. Gloria has received a Business Excellence Award Certificate from the World Confederation of Business (USA) and was featured by Forbes Africa as one of the Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 35 to Watch in Africa.
Recours Four Kenya continues to outperform competitors, with standout metrics that reflect its impact:
- Search Completion Rate: 95%
