    What is outplacement?

    We help executives confidently move on to their next career step through personal sparring, strategy, and network activation.

    Since 2007, we have supported hundreds of executives and companies in professional outplacement programs.

    Outplacement is a professional and dignified process for executives who are moving on. For the company, it means peace of mind, propriety, and a responsible transition. For the executive, it means clarity, direction, and an effective path toward the next opportunity.

    Frequently asked questions

    Outplacement is professional support for an employee or leader who is leaving the company - paid for by the employer. It typically includes personal career counseling, CV and LinkedIn optimization, interview training, network activation, and strategic guidance in the job search. For the company, outplacement protects its reputation and signals fair conduct. For the departing employee, it ensures a faster and more targeted path to their next role.
    Our programs typically last 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, depending on the leadership level and complexity. C-level executives and directors often need 9-12 months, as their job search is typically longer and more strategic. Middle managers often manage with 3-6 months. We recommend a specific program based on an initial conversation.
    A personal career advisor throughout the entire process, professional CV and LinkedIn optimization, an individual job search strategy, interview training, access to our leadership network, guidance from a headhunter and former executives, help with contract negotiation, and ongoing support and motivation. We have helped hundreds of leaders move on - many into a new job within 3 months.
    Always when dismissing leaders, during organizational changes affecting multiple employees, when closing departments, and for departures where the company wants to signal fair conduct. It is especially important for high-profile leaders, as their exit is often noticed in the industry and affects the company's employer brand.
