Balancing Art and Science
Next comes the Science – Korn/Ferry’s approach
to evaluating top talent by seamlessly integrating
scientific research with our vast practical experience.
Providing a more complete view of the candidate
than is otherwise possible, our proprietary tools are
statistically proven to generate better results in
identifying the right person for the position. Our
executive recruitment methodology includes:

• using a competency-based framework that
  provides a clear and common language to
  help clients identify desired skills and behaviors
  
  
• administering our behavioral mapping tool
  – Search AssessmentSM – to prospective
  candidates, providing clients with insights into
  how they will lead, how they will approach and
  solve complex problems, what their emotional
  profile is likely to be and what motivates them
  to succeed
  
  
• comparing candidates’ assessment results
  against our statistically validated indicators of
  success, which are customized to reflect the
  specific requirements of a client’s organizational
  culture or position, and illustrate how closely
  each candidate fits the critical parameters
  of the position

At Korn/Ferry, our combined mastery of the art
of search and science-based methodologies
leads to superior hiring decisions.
