March 5, 2020 – Search firms continue to break into new areas, be it through acquisition, alliances or providing new services. It’s a trend being seen at both large recruiters and small boutiques as recruiters look to provide clients with services for finding, assessing, onboarding and retaining their senior-level talent.

Just recently, global executive search firm WittKieffer launched LeaderVerse, a suite of services and solutions combining market-leading executive assessment tools with enhanced leadership consulting capabilities.

In collaboration with international leadership evaluation and consulting firm CMA, LeaderVerse will offer WittKieffer clients innovative tools, proven methodologies and data-driven analysis of candidates to aid the pre- and post-hire phases of an executive search.
