Strategic Career Consulate · Nairobi

Where your career
stops being
accidental.

The system has been judging you by documents that don't tell your real story. We're going to fix that.

The average TouchUp user discovers they are earning KES 120,000–170,000 less per month than the market would pay them. That gap has a number. Upload your current document, and in 7 minutes you'll know exactly what you're worth.

System Verdict

"Wash-Wash. This is a known predatory agency pattern. Do not send money. Do not apply."

The Nairobi Reality

Kanairo is unforgiving.
The system is rigged to
filter you out.

01

The Algorithm Gatekeepers

Automated systems reject 90% of documents before a human ever sees them. Bidii yako (your hard work) is eliminated daily by a machine that doesn't know your real story.

02

The Wash-Wash Agencies

Predatory conmen charging KES 2,500 "registration fees" for air. You spend your last data bundles applying to illusions. Muosho mmoja shouldn't be a rite of passage for the Kenyan professional.

03

The Silent Loss

Most mid-level pros are earning KES 100,000 less per month than they should. They accept lowball offers because they don't have the intelligence to negotiate.

"TouchUp takes the exact technology that HR departments use to keep people out—and places it in the hands of the job seeker to force their way in. Stop playing their game. Engineer a strike package."

What TouchUp Actually Is

Not a tool.
A strategic consulate.

Three pillars that define what happens when a professional finally has the intelligence layer the market was never going to give them.

I

The Narrative Sculptor

Bridge Between Talent & Perception

Most professionals are far more capable than their documents suggest. TouchUp takes raw, hidden talent and translates it into the language that elite firms understand. You are not underqualified. You are under-represented.

II

The Honest Advocate

The Mirror That Isn't Afraid

The market gives you silence when you fail. TouchUp gives you a specific diagnosis and a repair plan. Not to discourage you—but because you cannot fix what you do not know is broken. Constructive empathy. Brutal honesty.

III

The Great Equalizer

Kadogo Pricing. Elite Output.

A shop vendor and a corporate executive both deserve world-class career intelligence. Pay for exactly what you need. The same uncompromised quality, adapted to the financial reality of Nairobi—not Silicon Valley.

What TouchUp Does

Seven ways to get
what you're worth.

Built around one question: what does a Nairobi hiring manager actually need to see from you?

MOST USED

The Reality Check

"I'll know if this job is real before I apply."

We read the listing the way a recruiter does. You'll see the real salary, whether the role is legitimate, and which parts of your profile actually match. Scam detected in seconds.

The Tailor

"I'll have a CV written for this specific employer."

Paste the job listing. Get a tailored document, cover letter, and summary page—written in the exact language that employer uses when they hire people like you.

CORE

The Mirror

"I'll finally know what companies will actually pay me."

Your full career picture. What you're worth in KES, your employability score, what's keeping you from earning more, and a recruiter's unfiltered verdict.

The Bridge

"I'll have a step-by-step plan for my career switch."

Tell us where you want to go. We build a specific 90-day learning plan with free and paid paths, showing you what it costs, how long it takes, and the new salary.

Company Intel

"I'll know if this company pays its people on time."

A full read on any company before your interview. What employees actually say, salary delay flags, toxicity risk, and leadership track record.

Not every job offer
is a blessing.

You fought hard to pass the interview. But what happens when the salary is delayed by three weeks? What happens when the culture destroys your mental health? Some roles are traps disguised as promotions.

Built to Share

The card that gets
forwarded.

Every report generates a WhatsApp-ready dossier card with your gap number, your market score, and a recruiter's honest read.

When someone shares theirs in the group chat—and they will—the number does the talking. Nothing motivates action like seeing the exact amount you are losing every single month. That isn't marketing. That's the product doing its job.
