Client stories

“The expertise and additional resources that rpo group were able to bring not only allowed HR to focus on core value-add tasks, but directly contributed to thebusiness winning contracts and better servicing clients.”  National HR Director - Knight Frank

Knight Frank, a professional services firm with 600 staff operating nationally, felt that they were spending large amounts of money on recruitment agencies with questionable results. 

They decided the time was right to invest in their own recruitment capability. 

They engaged rpo group to conduct a “PulseCheck” to check their recruitment health, and subsequently chose to implement an outsourced recruitment department. 

The result was dramatic improvements in the speed of hiring, cost per hire, and retention of new hires. 

Some of the metrics with which Knight Frank measured rpo group include:
