The term outplacement is nowadays becoming obsolete. It is only natural, since this term had negative connotations, of somebody being out of the job market. Also, it carried misleading expectations; the service will place its candidates into new jobs. But it is not a placement service and does not guarantee reemployment, especially in the current economic climate.

We prefer to use the term Transition Counseling, which better reflects our approach towards this issue and captures the essence of our process.

In this changing and demanding labor market, Transition Counseling confirms the on-going development of an employee’s life and emphasizes continuity rather than disruption. we address change and deal with the effects of transition by guiding participants through alternative career options

A Goal Oriented Career Transition Consultancy

Transition Counseling confirms the on-going development of an employee’s life and emphasizes continuity rather than disruption. It also suggests a service that addresses change and deals with the effects of transition.

People experiencing a sudden career change, are put into emotionally difficult and financially inconvenient circumstances. The situation can be disturbing or even traumatic and has to be dealt directly. Our program provides immediate support and practical assistance to a departing employee. Providing Transition Counseling we tell the employee that the company cares about their future and wants to help them maintain stability in their lives by offering them practical assistance to re-establish themselves in the workplace. We make every participant feel like a candidate for a new recruitment project, rather than an unfortunate fellow who lost his/her job.

Our program is not static and goes beyond the simple psychological support and the teaching of job-hunting tips. It is an on-going procedure focused on helping individuals to reinvent their career. Through our methodology, we work with individuals to develop a personalized search strategy and an individual marketing plan. We achieve this by using a consistent approach and enabling them to identify their personal values, core strengths and potential limitations thus enhancing their marketability and finally landing their next opportunity in the shortest period of time.

We will work with you to give your people a flexible, individually tailor-made service that rapidly reconnects them to their chosen career and life path. Each individual can choose the elements of our service which best suits their needs, at any stage of the program, meaning that we can be there when the support and assistance is needed the most.

 Alternative Career Options

Transition Career Counseling is the only program in the Market that offers the alternative of entrepreneurship. You can learn more in the Startup Consulting section.

After launching, the program is built around the individual.  Each participant is assigned to own Personal Counselor and we start by embracing change. In-depth Behavioral, Skills and Competencies Assessments are conducted in order to boost Self-Awareness and provide us with all the necessary data for our next steps.

Knowing each participants thoughts, desires, core strengths and potential limitations, we can now move into two options:

Reshape your Career

As mentioned, knowing each participants thoughts, desires, core strengths and potential limitations, we can now move to the creation of a Personalized Career Plan and individual Self-Marketing tools.

After knowing oneself, it is now time to “meet” the Market and move into action. We need to convert this Plan and take use of our tools, combined with our knowledge of the current Market status, in order to design a Job Search Strategy. This is a dynamic part of the process, which requires active participation and collaboration from both sides, with constant communication and interaction: career guidance, emotional counseling, market intelligence, assistance with modern sourcing-jobs techniques, vacancy analysis, employer selection techniques, and assistance with job applications are part of the daily agenda.

At the same time, a parallel activity needs to take place. We help participants utilize all the modern Networking techniques, so as to maximize access to potential opportunities that are not publically advertised.

All these methodical steps will result in definitely winning some interviews and discussing potential collaboration. We are still there to support each participant with interview preparation, information gathering, interviewing techniques and styles, “do’s” and “don’ts” and eventually salary negotiations.

Unlike most other providers, we do spend time for and with our participants and we want them to do the same, without setting limits. We are always there with constant communication, offering proactive assistance and even remote coaching, boosting each individual for as many meetings, telephone or web calls they require throughout the whole program. Office support is also provided when needed. In addition, we are still there to follow up the efficiency of the program: we ask participants to evaluate the program in writing, so as to measure specific KPI’s. These results are also communicated to our client. At the end of each month, we give a complete feedback to our client for the process so far, through an analytical Progress Report.

Become an Entrepreneur

Based on statistics, a 10% of participants desire to follow their own dream and turn an idea into a startup. For those to this direction, we offer a fresh, structured and innovative entrepreneurship educational program. Our program actively supports the development of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial mentality, regardless of the idea, the business model and the geographical area.

It offers contemporary knowledge about the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, thus supporting the development of sustainable businesses - minimizing risks due to the lack of expertise – which leads to jobs creation.

The value of the program to each participant is directly related to the amount of effort the participants put into the program and it varies, depending on what stage the entrepreneur begins, what the market tells that entrepreneur about the idea, and how much time the entrepreneur puts into the business.
