Took a Talent Q “Verbal Assessment” for a job at Korn Ferry and scored “Average.” Will this prevent me from moving forward in the interview process?

Speaking only from personal experience, I scored "average" on their assessments and still moved forward in the process. KF has an extensive norming process so you are likely being compared to some sort of peer group.

short answer, unlikely. long answer: there’s so many factors that impact how the assessment is used/evaluated as part of the hiring process. typically companies use the assessment as just one data point to consider - they still consider how you do in the interview, the experiences you bring, etc. Also not every company is necessarily looking for scores above average. so “average” should be fine. a “below average” or lower score would raise a red flag, but “average” most likely won’t. hope that helps

Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
