Achievement-led, not duty-led
Kenyan recruiters, especially in the NGO and corporate space, reward CVs that lead with outcomes. Replace "responsible for managing the budget" with "managed a KES 40M annual budget across three donor lines with zero audit findings". The second version is what gets shortlisted.
ATS-ready by construction
Because many Nairobi employers use applicant-tracking systems, avoid CVs built as images or heavy graphics — they parse as gibberish. Sahan's PDFs are real text with embedded fonts, so your experience is read correctly by both the system and the recruiter.
Why people use Sahan for this
Sahan isn't a generic design tool. It's built for one job: making it effortless to keep a structured profile and generate a genuinely elegant CV from it — on any phone, in minutes — with optional verified badges on the claims that matter.
- Simple to build, satisfying to download
- Works fully on mobile — no app to install

- Verified badges, per claim
Frequently asked questions
- How long should a CV be for the Kenyan market?
- Two pages is standard. Lead with your strongest, quantified achievements so a recruiter or an ATS picks them up immediately.
- Is a cover letter needed with a Kenyan CV?
- Often yes, especially for NGO and corporate roles. Your CV is the foundation; Sahan focuses on getting that right so the cover letter has something strong to point to.
