June 9 (Reuters) - Executive search firm Korn/Ferry International (KFY.N: Quote, Profile, Research) posted a wider-than-expected quarterly loss as a weak labor market continued to hurt its business.

Korn/Ferry also said it was taking further actions to align its cost structure to retain positive cash flow.
For the fourth quarter ended April 30, net loss was $19.5 million, or 45 cents a share, compared with net income of $15.7 million, or 36 cents a share, a year ago.

Analysts were expecting a loss of 5 cents a share, before special items, on revenue of $113.8 million, according to Reuters Estimates. Continued...
