I don’t know anything from them beside the fact that I worked with a few of them and they were truly awesome human beings. Great choice!

Korn Ferry is fully focused on Human Capital/Talent. For example they have an org strategy group w/in Advisory but it’s focused on human capital strategy, not general strategy. I would be ready to share any good experiences you have related to HC/Talent projects. But the actual interview questions depends on what part of the business you’re interviewing with and/or what specific role!

They also do head hunting/executive placements. Unless that falls under human capital.

I have been researching about them, they do more than that. But I got the gist that their focus is on HC and HR more although they do offer other counting areas - digital, cyber, finance etc.,
Just wanted some insights from anybody who has been interviewed by them before on what would resonate with them the most.
