It is an ability that can be gained only from practice and deep experience, and it allows Korn/Ferry to place executives with the ideal background, attitude and approach in the most timely and effective manner. This is the Art of Talent.

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.
