How We Broker Experts
The complete guide to working with The Knowledge Brokers
We understand the challenge: finding the best suitable expert for an assignment faster and more accurately than most training or HR specialists could do themselves.
We're free to suggest any expert that fits. We're not agents. We don't have to sell the time of experts on our payroll — because we don't have one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is TKB different from a training company?
Training companies sell the time of trainers on their payroll. We don't have a payroll. We search the entire market to find the exact right expert for your specific project.
How long does it take to get a shortlist?
Typically 48-72 hours for most requests. Complex or niche requirements may take longer, but we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
What if the expert doesn't deliver?
It rarely happens, but if it does, we replace them at no extra cost. That's our guarantee.
Do you work globally?
Yes. We've delivered projects in 30+ countries. We can source experts from anywhere to deliver anywhere.
