Global executive search firm Hanover Search announced the launch of Hanover Talent Solutions, a comprehensive talent and leadership advisory business built in partnership with career consultancy City CV. The expansion builds upon Hanover Search’s C-suite executive recruitment practice across the United Kingdom and the United States, positioning the firm to deliver end-to-end leadership support to financial services institutions.
Securing C-suite leadership presents distinct operational challenges for boardrooms and executive teams. Given the narrow pool of qualified executives and the financial risk associated with misaligned leadership, organizations require specialized recruitment frameworks. Additionally, many companies lack the internal infrastructure required to execute fully confidential executive searches during sensitive leadership transitions.
Mitigating C-Suite Hiring Risk Through Research-Driven Search
Hanover Search addresses executive hiring challenges through a research-based search framework that combines market mapping, candidate assessments, and stakeholder alignment. By specializing in financial services and adjacent sectors, the firm provides client organizations access to vetted leadership pools across international markets.

Key operational capabilities of Hanover Search’s executive search practice include:
Confidential Search Management: Handles sensitive board and C-suite transitions discreetly to safeguard brand reputation and corporate stability.
Transatlantic Market Intelligence: Operates dual-region networks across the U.S. and UK to connect institutions with global leadership talent.
Accelerated Retained Execution: Completes retained executive search engagements from initial intake to placement in an average of 12 weeks.
Tailored Strategic Alignment: Evaluates organizational culture and strategic growth goals prior to candidate presentation.
Mark McClintock, CEO of Deloitte Total Reward & Benefits and a longtime Hanover Search client, says its partners “take the time to understand the business, its culture and strategic priorities” before presenting candidates.
Expanding Beyond Executive Placement into Talent Advisory
Hanover Talent Solutions formalizes a five-year collaborative partnership with City CV, extending Hanover Search’s core capabilities across the full executive lifecycle. The expanded advisory portfolio integrates executive outplacement services, executive coaching, leadership assessments, and board advisory support alongside traditional executive recruitment.
The launch represents an evolution of Hanover Search’s core practice, allowing financial institutions to manage talent strategy, executive onboarding, and succession planning through a single advisory partner.
