SoFi Partners with Korn Ferry to Offer New Career Tools to Members

SoFi and Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY) announced a partnership bringing access to the KF Advance career development platform to all of SoFi’s nearly-half a million members free of charge. This partnership marks the first time a financial services company has offered KF Advance to its customers.

“At SoFi, we’re focused on how we can help our members get ahead financially, and a huge piece of that is career success and satisfaction,” said VP of Membership at SoFi, Libby Leffler. “While we already conduct over 1,000 career counseling sessions in-house per quarter, this collaboration will allow us to deepen the career guidance we’re able to offer and increase the number of members we’re able to help.”

SoFi Career Solutions powered by KF Advance offers online assessments, resume review, career coaching, and other services that leverage Korn Ferry's vast IP and their more than 70 years of consulting expertise. Through KF Advance, job seekers find the expertise they need and the encouragement they desire to find the career path that will bring them more purpose and passion and elevate their performance through features including resume-parsing technology and personalized strengths assessments.

SoFi and Korn Ferry piloted the offering in the first quarter of 2018, with over 350 SoFi members receiving complimentary access to the KF Advance platform. Pilot participants reported an aggregate 96% satisfaction rate in post-access surveys, suggesting both strong demand and enthusiasm for the platform.

“Following an incredibly successful pilot period with SoFi, we’re proud to be formalizing this partnership,” said Bryan Ackermann, Korn Ferry’s Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer. “We’re excited to see the difference we’re able to make in each individual’s life.”
