Korn Ferry

Founded in Los Angeles in 1969, Korn Ferry built its reputation in executive search before expanding into broader organizational consulting. Its principal executive offices remain in Los Angeles.

The firm combines executive and professional search, interim talent, recruitment process outsourcing, consulting and digital products. Its consulting work covers organization strategy, assessment and succession, leadership development, talent acquisition and rewards, using proprietary data, behavioral science and technology.

Korn Ferry is especially strong where senior hiring connects with wider organizational questions: succession planning, leadership pipelines, workforce design and enterprise talent transformation. Its global internship program gives undergraduate and graduate students exposure to work such as market mapping, client presentations, data analysis and client meetings.
