About Favorite HR Services
Favorite HR Services (FHS) was established to fill the vacuum of organizations that are truly professionals in the field of human capital. When we saw a lack of professionalism in providing human resources (hr) solutions, we saw the need to launch FHS. We started our organization purposely to cater to organizations that really value human capital as the most vital element for transforming organizations both for profit and non-profit from merely ordinary establishments towards world-class industry leader companies that are admired and entitled to best practice and performance benchmarking. FHS practices relationship selling instead of transactional selling. Unlike transactional selling, which focuses on closing sales, relationship selling focuses on establishing long-term relationships with both existing and prospective clients, by providing true value-adding solutions to their human capital needs. Our team, which is equipped with up-to-date knowledge regarding the field of human capital, is capable of offering state-of-the art solutions to our esteemed clients as needed.
