About KF Consulting
Korn Ferry’s organizational consulting services target the most critical challenges facing global businesses today: attracting, developing, motivating, and retaining talent, as well as creating the right structures to support that talent.

Our deep expertise spans the talent function from end-to-end. We help businesses develop comprehensive, effective strategies that improve their organizational structures, create attractive rewards and benefits packages, build thoughtful assessment and succession programs, and develop current talent and future leaders. In sum, we help unleash the power of people to close the Potential Gap: the difference between where you are now and where you need to be to achieve sustainable growth.

The Role
Organizations create value by doing work. It is therefore essential for any organization that wants to maximize its value to be able to understand, measure and analyze the work it is doing. We are looking for consultants to join us and help organizations to structure and optimize work. We have deep expertise here and own the Korn Ferry Hay Method for job evaluation. The widest used method in the world. Although around for >70 years, the functional area is part of the biggest revolution witnessed so far. As part of Korn Ferry’s digital transformation agenda, all our IP has been integrated into a digital platform called Talent Hub. Work & Career Architecture has its own module within, called KF Architect. Digitization in this respect created a dramatic change in scope, nature and approach of our job framework and job evaluation assignments with clients. Core characteristics for ‘the new world’ are more digital, more integrated with e.g. talent management, more automated.

We want Korn Ferry to continue to be a premier career destination – a place where each day colleagues are energized, developed, empowered and able to pursue their passions.
Development is however a partnership and because we attract top talent, we are a culture of self-starters who don’t wait for things to happen to them but instead take the initiative to learn and grow.
