The Science Behind the Art of Search: Using Assessments to Understand How You Think and Lead

In early 2009, The Korn/Ferry Institute launched a new thought leadership series called Korn/Ferry's Career Playbook: Winning Strategies in Today's Job Market to address executive job seekers's most frequent and pressing questions.

The fourth article in the series explains what the most sophisticated assessment tools in the market today do and do not measure, and how you can work with an executive recruiter and hiring organization to frame the patterns your personal assessment reveals. It is based on insights from a number of seasoned Korn/Ferry consultants who were interviewed for the piece.
