Knightsbridge provides recruitment solutions and outsourcing services to help clients find great talent faster and more effectively. They can handle all aspects of recruitment from sourcing to onboarding. A hospitality company used their assessment strategies and outsourced recruitment process to screen up to 1,000 restaurant manager candidates per year, presenting only qualified ones. This dramatically reduced the client's internal recruiting time spent on unqualified candidates. Knightsbridge also helped a beverage distributor transition to an in-house sales force within 8 weeks to ensure no revenue impact, with the new reps outperforming past brokers by 35% in their first year. Knightsbridge offers flexible recruitment solutions tailored to each client's unique needs.
