Through these reportable segments Korn Ferry delivers services through three Solution groups: (i) Search (Executive Search and Professional Search), (ii) Talent & Organizational Solutions (Consulting and Digital), and (iii) Workforce Solutions (Recruitment Process Outsourcing and Interim),The presentation of fee revenue prior to May 1, 2026 has been revised to conform to the new segment reporting.
