Boutique Outplacement Services for Employers

High-touch, data-informed career transition support for employees impacted by layoffs, restructures, or workforce changes.

Outplacement Coaching & Career Transition Support

  • Format: One-on-one career transition coaching delivered at scale for organizations supporting employees through layoffs, restructures, or role eliminations.
  • # Sessions: The program can be delivered in bulk to groups of affected employees, with each participant receiving individualized coaching. A typical engagement includes multiple one-on-one Zoom sessions focused on Birkman results, career direction, value proposition, résumé positioning, LinkedIn guidance, networking strategy, and interview preparation.
  • Notes: Fathom AI Notetaker records each session, so participants can review notes and revisit coaching conversations if needed.
  • Project Management: To keep each participant organized during transition, we can provide tasks, documents, and session notes through Basecamp.
  • Employer Use Case: This service is designed for HR leaders or business leaders who want a more human, personalized alternative to large outplacement firms and who are purchasing support for multiple employees at once.

Why Boutique Outplacement Services?

Large outplacement firms often rely on standardized portals, generic webinars, and low-touch support. That may check a box, but it does not always help people move forward with real clarity or confidence. This program is designed for employers seeking a more personalized, higher-value transition experience for affected employees.

  • Data-Driven: Grounded in the research-backed Birkman Method, we use objective, personality-, interest-, and need-based data to help individuals understand which roles, environments, and work styles fit them best. The Birkman Method is used for career guidance, talent alignment, and outplacement support.
  • Personalized Support: Each participant receives one-on-one coaching rather than being pushed into a generic process designed for the masses.
  • Better Career Direction: Employees often need more than résumé help. They need clarity on what comes next, what fits, and how to tell their story to sell themselves.
  • Employer Brand Protection: The way you support people during a layoff or restructuring shapes how they talk about your company afterward. A thoughtful transition process can protect reputation, reinforce your values, and reduce unnecessary frustration.
  • Higher Touch, Better Engagement: When people feel seen and supported, they are more likely to engage in the process and take productive action.
  • Human Dignity in a Difficult Moment: Layoffs are hard. This offering helps organizations treat people with care, structure, and practical support during a stressful transition.

Career Transition Reporting

Over 15 Birkman Reports condensed into a practical set of PDF documents to help each participant better understand themselves, clarify next-step career direction, and position themselves more effectively in the market.

  • Birkman Discussion Report to help employees understand their behavior and needs, identify patterns that may have influenced past job satisfaction, and gain language to explain how they work best.
  • Mindset Report to help individuals understand attitudes and beliefs that may influence confidence, interpretation of setbacks, and decision-making during a transition.
  • Career Exploration Report to guide job search direction, including Job Families & Titles data that can help participants identify roles worth exploring based on fit, not just familiarity.
  • Sales Effectiveness Report to help participants sell themselves more clearly to employers, recruiters, and networking contacts.
  • Enhance Your Career & Life Reports to support self-awareness, communication, and relationship management throughout the transition process.
