Korn Ferry Acquires AMS (Alexander Mann Solutions)
About this episode
This episode discusses Korn Ferry's $1.1 Billion acquisition of AMS and its implications for the talent acquisition space.
This week Korn Ferry announced the $1.1 Billion acquisition of AMS, one of the leading providers of enterprise recruitment outsourcing.

AMS has become a global leader in recruitment process outsourcing and TA advisory work, leading to the $1.1 Billion valuation. AMS’s product AMS One is one of the only tech platforms that integrates almost every recruiting technology into one operational view, enabling AMS and clients to monitor, tune, and optimize all areas of recruiting in one place.
