Case Study: Korn Ferry Website Redesign
Published

Overview
Korn Ferry is one of the most recognized names in global organizational consulting. Their integrated suite of services spans talent acquisition, assessment, leadership development, compensation strategy, and workforce transformation. With clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to top-performing global firms, Korn Ferry’s website needed to embody its expertise and reflect its central message: “Be More Than.”
Despite their brand equity, the digital experience lagged behind user expectations — especially in personalization, content clarity, and lead generation pathways. QuickPro Digital Marketing partnered with Korn Ferry to revamp their website to meet evolving user needs and drive measurable performance across marketing, thought leadership, and recruitment channels.
Problem, Solution, and Results
Korn Ferry Website Redesign
The Problem
Korn Ferry’s previous website was visually strong but functionally disjointed. While brand messaging was bold, the site experience struggled with:
-
Fragmented User Journeys: Users had difficulty finding the right services, case studies, or insights across a sprawling set of offerings.
-
Underutilized Data Points: Korn Ferry had powerful credibility metrics, but they were scattered or buried within content.
-
Limited Lead Capture: Forms and CTAs were inconsistent, and there was no structured way to capture segmented leads across industries or services.
-
Mobile Responsiveness Issues: While the site functioned on mobile, content alignment and engagement dropped significantly on smaller screens.
-
SEO Gaps: Thought leadership content existed but lacked consistent structure and schema markup, limiting its discoverability.
The Solution:
We helped Korn Ferry bring clarity, functionality, and performance to their website without losing the emotional impact of their “Be More Than” positioning.
-
Service Architecture Overhaul: We restructured and renamed core service hubs (e.g., “Solutions,” “Capabilities,” “Industries,” “Functions”) to reflect real user terminology and intent.
-
Dynamic Content Mapping: We introduced contextual CTAs that change based on service area or user behavior, increasing engagement across insights and case studies.
-
Credibility Showcase Section: We prominently featured powerful metrics (e.g., % of Fortune 500 served, top-tier leadership engagement rates) to build trust across decision-makers.
-
Integrated Lead Capture: We implemented modular contact forms with progressive profiling and segmentation for services, industries, and job functions.
-
Mobile & Accessibility Optimization: Layouts, typography, and media were redesigned to be fluid and fully accessible, including ADA-compliant structure and testing.
-
Content Taxonomy for SEO: Insights, whitepapers, and leadership content were re-tagged and structured with schema for better search engine visibility.
The Results:
The updated website produced measurable wins across multiple business units:
-
Lead Conversion Rates Increased: More streamlined paths from services and insights to contact forms led to a 36% lift in conversions.
-
Thought Leadership Visibility: Enhanced tagging and content structure drove a 48% increase in organic traffic to articles and reports.
-
Client Engagement: Prospective clients now spend more time exploring capabilities, with a 42% increase in multi-page sessions.
