This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1258 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £70,100, and Korn Ferry is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1136 (Human resource managers and directors, Focus on compensation strategy could be HR management role) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Consulting/advisory nature fits management consultant group). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Not necessarily. Korn Ferry holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
