People leave their jobs for many reasons and, regardless of why, they all share a few things in common. Individuals in career transition face uncertainty and challenging circumstances that impact their personal, financial, and professional life. These challenges hold true whether you are a CEO and or an entry level employee. Here are a few of the questions we often hear from clients in transition.
Outplacement is a career transition service provided to exiting employees that supports their transition to another career opportunity or into retirement. This service is usually paid for by your past employer as a part of your termination agreement. Our career transition programs typically include:
- Career counselling
- Resume development
- LinkedIn profile consultation
- Advice and training to help you put an effective job search strategy into action with confidence.
Most employers care what happens to employees they can no longer retain. They want exiting employees to do well in the future and they know our assistance helps.

- Identify your individual strengths and potential through career coaching.
- Gain insight into current market trends that could impact your opportunities and employer expectations.

Recruiters select applicant profiles that correspond to a specific position request from a company. Conversely, an outplacement or career transition professional’s aim is to support a person in building a professional position that corresponds to their career aspirations and market realities, and to facilitate their integration into a new job.
Some organizations will include outplacement or career transition services as part of an individual’s leaving package. They will either arrange it directly for the individual or allow the individual to spend the allocated money with the outplacement or career transition provider of their choice.
