Founder & Advisory Craft

Hiring is a business decision before it is an HR decision.

Career Connections Shortlist (Kenya Lead) Yusudi (CEO & CGO) Qazi Works (Founder)

I’m Doris Muigei, Founder of Qazi Works. For the last 15 years, I’ve worked across executive search, psychometric assessments, talent strategy and commercial business growth.

That means I’ve experienced hiring from several sides of the table: as an executive recruiter, a hiring manager, a commercial growth leader, and a Chief Executive Officer. Those lived experiences shape how I conduct leadership searches today.

I don’t start with the CV. I start with the underlying business problem. What does this leader need to fix, build, scale or transform? Once that is clear, the search becomes focused, strategic, and vastly more successful.

“Give me the business problem. We’ll work out who can solve it.”

Especially useful when the talent market looks thin, previous searches have failed, or the business cannot afford another hiring misstep.

Client Voices

Client Testimonials

“Working with Doris has always been an energizing experience. We had trouble hiring for our sales team, with high-quality salespeople being hard to find. Doris and her team were able to quickly figure out solutions for us and even provided valuable guidance on running the team. What stood out most was her deep understanding of the subject matter and her ability to diagnose people's problems in a matter of minutes. Her questions are always insightful, and she can channel your thinking without being instructive about it. There are only a few people in the world whom I would unconditionally recommend working with, and Doris is one of them.”

Sameer Afzal Farooqi

COO & Co-founder

“When we engaged Qazi, we were looking for more than just someone to fill a role. We needed a partner who could really understand our business, our culture, and the kind of leadership talent that would thrive in our environment. What stood out for me was how intentional and thorough the process was. Qazi took the time to understand what we needed beyond the job description, challenged our thinking where necessary, and kept us closely engaged throughout the search. It felt less transactional and much more like a genuine partnership. If another CEO asked me what it’s like working with Qazi, I’d say they bring a strong combination of professionalism, market understanding, and a very human approach. They care about finding the right person, not simply closing the search, and that makes a real difference.”
