Interviewing at Korn Ferry and took the Verbal Assessment. I wasn’t prepared and scored “Average.” Will I not receive an offer because of this score? How important are these scores? Can a mediocre/average/poor assessment score squash the possibility of a job offer?

Korn Ferry are trying to sell standardised/objective recruiting as a BPO service so would assume they don’t take these things lightly. Easy to pick holes in such assessments but it’s fair to say that verbal skills are important in that field. So average may not be enough.

Suggest you call and say something was off that day and you need to retake. You don’t have to be specific, they do have to be considerate.

And always prepare for interviews…

Average is not bad and they dont only use test results to make a decision. If you haven’t received an offer by now, it might be for some other reason.

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so I want to write something that won’t be overlooked. Any advice is appreciated:)

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

I have had several rounds of interviews for a role at Visa London office. When I reached out to the HR to check on progress/status after what they called the "final round", they said everything is positive and then set up another round with the hiring manager last week. TBH, that round seemed as if they want to make sure I have understood the job well. And there has been radio silence after that. Any idea how to read this? I have another offer and deliberating if i should just accept that.
