KORN/FERRY INTERNATIONAL
A guide to our brand
Weare talent.
1
The more things change, the more they stay the
same. Whether the pilot is flying a Boeing 777 or
the Wright Brothers’ Flyer, it is the person rather
than the aircraft that makes the flight successful.
Despite all of the technological advances of the
past 100 years, the simple truth remains people
make businesses work.
Forty years ago, Lester Korn and Richard Ferry
launched Korn/Ferry Enterprises in Los Angeles
with little more than $10,000, a typewriter,
one secretary and a dream — to become the
premier global executive search firm. Today,
Korn/Ferry International is truly the fruition of
their shared foresight.
As the industry leader, our firm enjoys a
rich heritage, one of innovation, boldness
and success. We have elevated executive
recruitment to a fine art, infusing unique and
proprietary science-based tools, building
a successful mid-market and outsourced
recruitment company, and adding even greater
value through our leadership and talent
consulting offerings.
Korn/Ferry’s impact on the human capital
market, albeit significant, has only just begun.
It is our brand and the trust it conveys that
present us with the opportunity to do more.
Together, we will further evolve and forge new
traditions into the fabric of our great company.
Korn/Ferry—a great brand, the very best people and an enormous opportunity. Thank you for your contribution.

Chief Executive Officer
Our story
2 3
It was during a time of turmoil, generational clashes and military
conflict that two young entrepreneurs shared a vision — to
establish a company focused on delivering leadership to leading
organizations around the world. Stepping into virtually uncharted
territory, Lester Korn and Richard Ferry founded Korn/Ferry
International on November 14, 1969.
Innovative We have come a long way since Lester and
Richard started the business 40 years ago. Our
heritage as the leading executive recruitment
firm has paved the way for us to address other
aspects of talent management to help our
clients achieve their business goals.
Organizations are seeking ongoing methods
and systems to attract, develop, retain and
sustain their workforces. To help them with
these needs, they will turn to partners they
can trust, who are credible and can help their
businesses thrive.
And who is better qualified to provide this than
Korn/Ferry? For four decades, we have helped
organizations build their leadership teams.
Simply stated, we have the best people, we
have the best solutions and we have the best
brand. This is a position and a responsibility that
we do not take lightly. We use our success to
continually innovate and look for new ways to
add value for our clients.

Infusing
science intoartArt and science often merge to bring
about success. From painting to
architecture, medicine to astronomy,
examples of the delicate balance
between art and science are evident
across many fields and professions.
The same collaboration is true in our work. We understand
the subtleties and intangible aspects of talent — the “art,” so
to speak. It is that feeling you get after years of experience;
although you cannot put your finger on precisely why, you know
in your gut that one candidate is a better fit than the other.
And now, by introducing the tools and techniques made possible
through our unique technologies and intellectual property, we
at Korn/Ferry add precision to our processes — the “science” —
and create the platform for providing the talent management
services clients truly need in a changing world.
Retain We define what drives optimum performance
and employee engagement. We ensure that
management and executive pay programs and
incentives align with shareholder value, company
strategy and sound governance practices while
effectively motivating participants.
Sustain We coordinate and scale key aspects of the
talent management process to create a long-
term platform and culture within our clients’
organizations. We achieve this through our
proprietary technology tools and by certifying
our clients on our assessment process and
other components of our intellectual property.
Creating a long-term human capital competitive advantage for our
clients rests on the ability to address four fundamental leadership
and talent management needs — attracting, developing, retaining
and sustaining key talent. Our solutions are aligned to deliver
optimal value in each of these areas.
The search and
AttractWe offer an unparalleled depth of experience,
global reach and industry knowledge through
our executive recruitment services, plus a
unique methodology that includes a compe-
tency-based interviewing framework and our
proprietary behavioral assessment tool.
Develop We enhance the effectiveness of existing
or newly hired talent through developmental
coaching, onboarding, residence-based
leadership programs, team effectiveness
offerings and scalable developmental tools.

Talent drives business.
Lester and Richard realized early on that their firm could
only be as good as the people they hired to serve their
clients. When recruiting our own employees, we apply the
same exacting standards we use to identify and attract
outstanding talent for our clients.
We strive to be the premier career destination
in the industry, providing our workforce with a
unique strategy, deep resources and offering an
environment that allows for career-long develop-
ment and personal growth.
Each person who works for Korn/Ferry is an
example of our undisputed ability to attract and
retain the very best talent.
Korn/Ferry will continue to develop and deliver
new and impactful talent solutions that are
unique to the industry, but it is ultimately our
team’s skills, teamwork, commitment and
passion that will guide our evolution into the
world’s leading talent management resource.
