First, last and always, leadership is about unleashing potential in others. Their success, performance and inspiration is our aspiration.

Excellence is consistently recognized and rewarded, empowering you to share your ideas and follow them through. And, because we’re all about taking talent further, you can look forward to exceptional training and development.
Korn Ferry’s Executive Search business helps organizations recruit board-level, chief executive, and other C-suite/senior executive and general management talent to deliver lasting impact. Our approach to placing talent brings together our research-based IP, proprietary assessments and behavioural interviewing with our practical experience to determine the ideal organizational fit. Salary benchmarking then helps us build appropriate frameworks for compensation and attraction. This business is managed and reported on a geographic basis.
As an Executive Search summer intern with Korn Ferry, you will have the opportunity to learn about our company, our capabilities and solutions. You will gain first-hand experience of working on client projects as part of a team, and you will get to learn from solution and industry experts throughout the programme through on-the job and structured learning sessions.
You will also have the opportunity to build networks with colleagues and peer groups locally and internationally with peers taking part in Korn Ferry’s Intern programme in other international offices.
This is a hybrid Internship programme and there will be an expectation for all Interns to be able to get to the London office at least three days’ a week.
