Korn Ferry is a global organizational consulting firm. We help clients synchronize strategy and talent to drive superior performance. We work with organizations to design their structures, roles, and responsibilities. We help them hire the right people to bring their strategy to life. And we advise them on how to reward, develop, and motivate their people.
Our 10,000 colleagues serve clients in more than 50 countries. We offer five core solutions:
- Organizational Strategy
- Assessment and Succession
- Talent Acquisition
- Leadership Development
- Total Rewards
Currently we have developed deeper functional and industry-based expertise, particularly in
Technology & Digital, Supply Chain, Energy & Utilities, Consumer & Retail, Life Sciences,
Financial Services, Technology Officers, HR Officers, Financial Officers, Marketing Officers and
Risk and Compliance. These specializations allow us to better solve the diverse talent needs of our
marketplace.
The role of Associate/Senior/Managing Associate is critical for the identification and
development of candidates for executive search projects, as well as assisting with market
intelligence and development of presentations and documents for business development purposes.
We strongly believe in developing our own talent and often a vacant role is due to one of our
talented Senior Associate’s promotion to Principal.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ROLE:
Working closely with engagement teams which can include Research Analysts, other
Associates/Senior Associates, Principals and Partners, the primary responsibilities of the
Associate/Senior Associate are to:
- Provide engagement execution support to the client and the team.
- Manage the various stages of the search process to always ensure the highest quality execution of client engagement.
- Lead the identification, qualification, and communication with candidates during the search
engagement and informing the partner of progress and issues. - Capture and maintain accurate market, client, and candidate information in the company’s
systems so as to both facilitate the search process and help convert business development
opportunities. - Inform the engagement team of any potential business development opportunities identified
through the execution of the search process and support the appropriate partner in its
conversion.
