The new company provides customers with access to the broadest range of assessment solutions for roles at all levels and to support decisions from recruitment to succession planning, in more languages and countries than any other talent management provider.
The merger results in a new company that delivers more than 15 million assessments annually in over 150 countries and over 30 languages.
