Change is a constant in today's business world. When workforce adjustments are necessary, providing compassionate and effective outplacement services is crucial for both your departing employees and your company's reputation. At Red Seat, we understand the complexities of career transitions and offer comprehensive outplacement support to empower your employees as they navigate their job transition. Our personalized approach focuses on providing the tools, resources, and guidance needed for a successful job search. 

We guide your departing employees through a structured five-phase program: 

Phase 1: Discovery Call & Career Assessment

The outplacement process begins with a confidential Discovery Call. This initial consultation allows us to understand the individual's unique situation, career goals, and any specific challenges they may be facing. We discuss their work history, skills, interests, and aspirations to create a tailored outplacement plan. This initial phase also includes a comprehensive career assessment to provide valuable insights into their strengths, values, and potential career paths. This self-awareness forms the foundation for a targeted job search strategy.

Phase 2: Resume & Social Media Optimization

A strong resume and a compelling online presence are essential in today's competitive job market. In this phase, we collaborate with each individual to create or refine their resume, highlighting their accomplishments and showcasing their value to potential employers. We go beyond simply listing job duties; we focus on crafting a narrative that effectively tells their professional story. We also optimize their LinkedIn profile and other relevant social media platforms to ensure they present a professional and consistent brand online. This includes profile optimization for keywords, networking strategies, and best practices for online engagement.

Phase 3: Job Search Strategy & Coaching

With a polished resume and a strong online presence in place, we move into the active job search phase. We work closely with each individual to develop a personalized job search strategy, including:

Targeted Job Search: Identifying relevant job search resources, industries, companies, and job titles that align with their career goals.

Networking Strategies: Developing effective networking techniques to connect with key individuals in their target field.

Phase 4: Interviewing Skills & Practice

Excelling in interviews is crucial for landing the right job.  This phase focuses on honing interviewing skills through:

Interview Coaching: Covering everything from answering common interview questions to handling behavioral questions and addressing salary expectations.

Mock Interviews: Providing realistic interview practice with constructive feedback to build confidence and refine interviewing techniques.

Phase 5: Offer Negotiation & Onboarding

The final phase provides support and guidance during the crucial stages of offer negotiation and onboarding:

Offer Negotiation: Guidance and support during the offer negotiation process to ensure they receive fair compensation and benefits.

Onboarding Support: Resources and advice to ensure a successful transition into their new role.
