Hanover has entered into a new partnership with specialist career consultancy and outplacement services firm, City CV.
Through the new partnership, the global executive search organisation will expand its capabilities to deliver a more comprehensive service to its client base, while also supporting the further expansion of central London-based City CV in both UK and international markets. Hanover currently offers
executive search,
leadership solutions and
market intelligence services to its global client base.
City CV was founded by Victoria McLean in 2009 and offers a range of outplacement programmes, professional writing and coaching services to thousands of organisations and individuals around the world.
Employing a team of specialist career consultants, writers and executive career coaches with experience in a cross section of industries, from finance and technology to project management and HR, City CV works with a client list ranging from mid-career-professionals to CEOs and non-executive directors.
The partnership strengthens an existing relationship between the two organisations, where City CV provided outsourced support to Hanover's clients.
Hanover, which is headquartered in London and has offices in Europe and North America, operates in a broad spectrum of sectors. It also has a presence in Asia markets through its partner company ALS International.
James Emmett, CEO, Hanover, said: “Victoria and her team have built a successful and highly reputable business, which offers expertise and experience that will benefit our global client base. We have seen first-hand how City CV adds real value to clients’ career development and transition and through this new formal partnership we are keen to support their continued growth in key markets and territories.”
Victoria McLean, CEO of City CV, said: “We are excited to cement our relationship with the talented Hanover team. This partnership provides an important strategic opportunity for City CV to increase our growth trajectory in UK and international markets, provide added value services to Hanover, expand our digital platform ‘Career Refinery’, and broaden our client and candidate reach.”
Alex Simpson senior manager at RGCF, said: “This acquisition continues Hanover’s strategy of adding innovative professional services and expertise to its core business, increasing its market share and geographic reach. It also offers a platform for growth for City CV, with access to support infrastructure and investment that will be instrumental for its continued scale-up journey.”
