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.
