I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Korn Ferry in Dec 2016
Interview
When a company (especially in recruitment) goes public it becomes ALL about the numbers.
Quality therefore extremely lacks (ie Robert Half). This firm is no different.
Was contacted cheaply through linked in.
Set up a phone screen time. Recruiter MISSED the appointment and never notified me. After following up I was able to reschedule weeks later.
Was then asked to fill out a questionnaire like a new hire out of university which asked me what my and experience was (which they should know since they scouted me from a direct competitor).
This questionnaire was riddled with spelling and typographical errors.
Set up a phone call with local office (face to face is always better, especially if you're local).
Went well but she thought I was too expensive.
Never heard a peep from them for weeks. Had to follow up myself.
Basically they just pass you around.
Recruiters are pretty unprofessional (surprisingly since they are a recruitment firm).
In their quest to become the biggest they have become one of the crappiest. Avoid.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Korn Ferry (Manchester, Inglaterra) in Feb 2024
Interview
Two virtual on line interviews with appropriate senior leaders. Very relaxed and conversation led with good discussions and interchanges. Focus on skills, competence and experiences for the role and project work across KornFerry.

Interview
Wonderful interview process , but takes some time and patience. First reached out by recruiter. From there finding the right team for you. Then interviewing with people from that team. Waiting.
