Pros
Great people and strong team morale. Colleagues are supportive and easy to work with. Fully remote environment. The flexibility is excellent and well-structured. Not micromanaged. Leadership generally trusts recruiters to do their work without hovering. Good work-life balance. Remote setup and autonomy make day-to-day manageable. Established brand name. Having Korn Ferry on your résumé carries weight in the industry.
Cons
Decision-making is slow from the top down, which stalls progress and creates unnecessary delays. Poor communication flow. Information often doesn’t reach recruiters clearly or in a timely manner. Little to no training or development. New recruiters are largely left to figure things out on their own. Leadership doesn’t leverage individual strengths. Roles aren’t aligned with what recruiters do best. Processes feel disorganized. Expectations shift without clear guidance or support.
