I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Korn Ferry in Mar 2016
Interview
First time I scheduled a video interview they confused me with someone else so I had to reschedule for another time a week later. Then for that interview the interviewer was very casual in a t-shirt and had a loud animal barking in the background. They asked background and behavioral questions.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Korn Ferry (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2018
Interview
If I remember correctly, I found Korn Ferry through LinkedIn. I applied to the New Graduate Program on Korn Ferry's website. About 1-2 months later, I received an email from Korn ferry to set up a phone interview about a few days later. Basic questions about myself and some behavioral questions. The second part of the interview took the longest. They had scheduling conflicts so it took about a month. I had a panel interview with two other people. Very relaxed and nice people, again was asked behavioral questions. Then I took, an online assessment that they emailed me. Moved onto the final round. Before my interview I was contacted by someone from Korn Ferry to give me tips for the interview which was very helpful and to answer any questions that I had. Final interview was not in Dallas but Korn Ferry's office in my hometown which was cool to see. Then about two days later I was presented with an offer! Overall, it was a decent experience everyone that I meant was super nice and helpful.

Question 1
When was a time you had to pick up the slack for someone else?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Korn Ferry in Jul 2016
Interview
Phone screening following online application. First a Skype interview with a lot of behavioral questions. Then a very casual conversation with a panel of interviewers where you mostly talk about the company and their own experiences in the business. Lastly there's an in person interview with someone in a leadership position and you also get a tour of the office and meet a lot of different people. It took a bit of time, with about a week between interviews. Be prepared with a number of different questions as many get answered during the course of the interviews.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Korn Ferry (Dallas, TX) in May 2016
Interview
First got a phone interview from a recruiter, then scheduled for a online-video interview.
Interviewer joined the channel 5 minutes late, dressed up too casually in my opinion, drank coffee and continued to look away when I was trying to answer, seemed extremely disengaged during the whole interview session.
Almost refused to answer the questions that I asked her, most of the answer she gave was 1 or 2 sentences.
It was my first interview but her attitude was discouraging enough to make me tired after 10 minutes. (I mean she kept drinking coffee lol)
