Alan Guarino, Korn Ferry vice chairman of CEO and board services practice, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss Boeing's new contract proposal with the machinist's union, the state of labor, return to office trends, future of hybrid or remote work, and more.
I recommend a hold rating for Korn Ferry due to macroeconomic uncertainties and the mixed signals from 1Q25 results. Despite positives like stabilizing labor market trends and improved consultant productivity, RPO and professional search segments still show negative growth. Until more concrete evidence of a growth recovery emerges, maintaining a hold rating is the prudent approach.

While Korn Ferry has seen growth in fee revenue across the Consulting segment, that of the Executive Search segment has continued to see a decline. In my view, labour market demand needs to see a rebound for Executive Search engagement billings to grow from here. I rate Korn Ferry as a Hold at this time.
