Pop-up blockers

Most pop-up blocking software will NOT interfere with the successful use of Korn Ferry assessments.  However, should a pop-up blocker interfere with the assessment, please add (assessments.kornferry.com ) to the pop-up blocker exception list.  Alternatively, before starting a Korn Ferry offering, you may instruct participants to disable all pop-up blockers on their computers.
