GITP, a prominent player in the Netherlands’ assessment and talent development sector, has acquired LTP, a well-established psychological advisory firm founded in 1927. The acquisition, announced on October 29, 2026, aims to combine the strengths of two of the country’s most experienced assessment organizations to enhance service offerings and market leadership.
While financial terms were not disclosed, the deal involves a full acquisition of LTP by GITP, which has been pursuing an expansion strategy since its acquisition by Knop Investments in late 2024. This strategy has already included the integration of VDS, MK Leads, and Ludens Talentontwikkeling, positioning GITP as the undisputed market leader in data-driven talent development in the Netherlands.
LTP brings nearly a century of expertise in psychological advisory services, combining science, psychology, and practical insights to help organizations make better talent decisions. GITP, with almost 80 years of experience, offers a comprehensive suite of talent assessments and leadership development programs grounded in applied psychology and data analytics.
The merger creates a broader and more integrated portfolio of selection and development assessments. It enables GITP to connect assessment insights directly with its leadership and talent development offerings, providing clients with more objective and actionable insights into talent and potential. The increased scale also allows for greater investment in innovation, product development, and data-driven solutions.
According to GITP, the acquisition strengthens its ability to deliver high-quality, scientifically based assessments while expanding its reach and capabilities. “With LTP, we add significant knowledge and experience in assessments,” a GITP spokesperson said. “By combining our strengths, we can invest more in innovation and product development, offering clients a broader and stronger range of objective talent insights.”
LTP echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the shared scientific foundation and complementary expertise. “Joining GITP is a logical next step,” an LTP representative stated. “Together, we bring nearly 180 years of experience and can further develop our services to support clients with high-quality, objective insights into talent and potential.”
The acquisition occurs amid accelerating consolidation in the assessment and talent development industry, where data-driven solutions and integrated service offerings are increasingly critical. Competitors are expected to respond with their own strategic moves to scale and innovate.
Financially, the deal is expected to generate synergies through expanded cross-selling opportunities, shared investments in research and development, and operational efficiencies. The integration will focus on aligning organizational cultures, IT systems, and maintaining high scientific standards to ensure service quality and client retention.
Looking ahead, GITP plans to leverage the combined expertise to develop next-generation assessment products and enhance predictive analytics capabilities. The company aims to solidify its market leadership by continuously investing in innovation and expanding its comprehensive talent development platform.
This acquisition marks a significant milestone in GITP’s growth trajectory, reinforcing its position as the leading provider of data-driven talent and leadership development solutions in the Netherlands.
