As a human resources professional, what niches are you most interested in providing consultative services in?

"As you can see from my resume, I have many years of experience as an HR Generalist and Manager where I developed a very broad spectrum of experience across payroll, hiring, performance, and HR administration. In the recent four years, I have had a majority of focus on recruitment and retention for management-level positions. If I were lucky enough to join the team here at Korn Ferry, my best areas to work with your clients on would be recruitment and retention of staff. On top of those areas, I still have a great interest in performance management and I bring a great deal of experience in that realm."

"Having been an HR professional for over ten years, I feel like I would bring a great amount of experience and knowledge to your clients here at Korn Ferry. My preferred niche to work in is total rewards, including comp and benefits. I have a multitude of experiences in the administration of benefit plans, payroll systems, and new compensation policy implementation. I think that this experience would pay off well for clients that are in need of a reset in these areas."
