Outplacement Services
Career Transition Support, Job Search Assistance & Employer Risk Mitigation
You dedicate resources to recruiting, onboarding, and retention, but committing sufficient resources to off-boarding is equally important in the context of today’s market competition.
Financial, Operational, and Strategic Impact
Layoffs and restructuring consume resources, disrupt operations, and require alignment with long-term talent strategies. Outplacement services ensure smooth transitions while reducing the burden on HR teams.
Legal and Compliance Risks
Terminations can trigger unemployment claims, discrimination lawsuits, or compliance challenges. Structured outplacement support reduces these risks through professional guidance and clear documentation.
Employer Brand and Workforce Morale
Departing employees’ experiences affect company reputation and influence retained staff morale. Outplacement demonstrates commitment to professional growth, preserves goodwill, and supports employee engagement.

We work with you to create a custom strategy to meet your needs, ranging from personalized coaching, resume and LinkedIn optimization, job search guidance, and skill development to help departing employees secure new opportunities quickly.
Maintaining positive relationships with outgoing employees is especially crucial today due to the ubiquity and authority of online review channels.

Hear from one employee whom we helped find a new job quickly after being laid-off
Profession:
Senior Market Analyst - Midwest, Communication Firm
Return to work timeline:
2 months prior to the end of severance
Top Talent Advocates frequently provides outplacement services at the request of employers. One such employer engaged us to assist a Senior Market Analyst after terminating their position due to a layoff. As a result of our services, this employee quickly received requests for 10 interviews and was able to secure a new role in just a few months. Our client was able to begin a new job before their severance package expired.
“After having been laid off from my previous position following many years of service, my former employer afforded me the services of an outplacement advisor. That advisor was Mosah Goodman. I could not be any happier with the results! It was his drive, determination, and knowledge that put me in a position to get my next role. Mosah will recommend, advise, coach, and role play in an effort to get you ready for interviews, and will critique your resume ahead of that. Oh, and Mosah knows a lot of people in positions of authority in the Omaha, Nebraska area. He is a person that you want on your side when in a job search!”
