What exactly is your offering? How is it different from a transition service we have been using for years?
We approach outplacement with a singular focus – “how to get the people in transition into their next job - fast.”
- A personal Transition Specialist who provides 1:1 support to each and every individual through the term of the 6 month program. The traditional outplacement agencies provide service to a group of people at one time, only if you go to their office.
- We leverage a combination of sophisticated aggregation and matching technology to proactively present relevant job opportunities to the individual from across the net based on their preferences. None of the other traditional agencies offer such a service.
- We do a complete re-write of the resume and cover letter for each and every individual. Most other providers either give a template or send you to a group coaching class.
- We offer an array of very beneficial webinars so one does not need to dress up and drive 40 miles to an office to listen to a seminar. Our webinar series covers a variety of topics including: coping with change, harnessing the power of social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter; interview techniques; salary negotiations; how to become the most place-able candidate (how to work with recruiters) amongst others.
- Relevant career insight through an aggregation of the top 200 career blogs globally.
- We give each Corporation a custom branded portal and also provide reporting so they know the status and progress of their outplacement efforts.
- We do all this and more at a fraction of the cost of the traditional offerings.
How much does it cost?
We would be happy to discuss price details with you and how we can add value to your organization.
Traditional outplacement services or transition management firms can be very expensive, but RiseSmart has developed a
cost-effective and efficient outplacement service that works for employees and corporations. Since each situation is a
little different in terms of scope and volume of employees, please contact us at: transition@risesmart.com. Once we
understand your situation and objectives, we can quickly craft an offering for you and share prices accordingly.
How does the company stay informed on what’s happening with the employees in the program?
RiseSmart can provide a variety of reports that keep the organization informed on progress, and assist with managing your investment in this outplacement service.
Our reports help keep you up to date on the following:
- When your employees register for the service
- When your employees receive their services (job leads, resumes, etc…)
- How actively your employees are utilizing the service
- Progress on your employees’ job search, and notice when they find a job
How will our employees access your services?
We will offer all our customers a custom branded portal through which your employees can access our services.
In addition, we assign one of our transition specialists to each of your employees, so that they have a point of contact and support throughout the program.
What are the qualifications of the people helping our employees find a new job?
RiseSmart assembles a team for each individual, comprised of a variety of specialized skillsets. The “quarterback” of the
team is the Transition Specialist. The typical Transition Specialist has 8-10+ years of experience. These individuals
have extensive backgrounds in recruiting and HR, and know what it takes to find a job. They follow a proprietary methodology
and leverage their specialized knowledge and deep experience to help guide the individual through their job search.
We also provide each individual with a certified resume writer (CPRW certified). The resume writer has deep experience
in writing resumes for the particular field or industry focus of the individual in transition. Each individual also has
support of our “job sourcing” team. These are HR trained specialists across a variety of functions and industries that
hand-pick relevant jobs for each individual. And finally, we employ a wide variety of senior specialists on the team that
provide training via our ongoing webinar series. These team members have deep experience (15 years +) in areas such as
networking, interviewing, and career coaching.
Bottom line – each individual has a custom-built team of experienced professionals that all align a single mission: to help
each individual land a new job quickly!
Do you offer any coaching or tips on interviewing?
As a part of the service the Transition Specialist sets up an initial strategy session with each and every individual so that
they get a good understanding on how the individual wants to re-position themselves and where they specifically need help.
That is followed up with mock interview sessions which we record and email the individuals so they can be best prepared for the
actual interviews.
What is your success rate? How does it compare to traditional outplacement providers?
We measure success differently from traditional outplacement companies because we are focused on measuring success by the
quality and speed with which we help your employees find their next job.
Rather than send you a report touting success by measuring how many coaching sessions are conducted, or how many seminars ran,
RiseSmart demonstrates the success by truly helping an individual find his or her next job in the fastest possible time frame.
We provide each employee with a world class resume and deliver highly relevant job leads for each week giving them the best
chance for landing one of the job opportunities they have received.
Success Rates depend a lot on the profile of the individual in transition. For example, senior executives often have different
statistics than entry level employees. Similarly, the results can vary based on geography, industry, and function. Once we
engage with you to learn more about your specific employee groups, we can then provide you with an estimated success rate
based on our most recent data. Generally, junior level employees are finding jobs within 2-3 months, and senior level
employees are finding jobs within 4-5 months. This is a general guideline based on broad statistics.
What types of employees can you support?
We have outplacement packages for all levels of employees.
From senior management executives to analysts of companies, once we understand your needs we can recommend the packages
that are most suitable for your employees.
Transition Concierge offers something unique in a transition management solution: a win-win for the employer and the employee. Help your employees find new opportunities while fostering the goodwill of your workforce at a price that makes sense to your bottom line.
The RiseSmart network consists of professional resume writers, job concierge, recruiters, and career coaches who specialize in mock interviews, strategy sessions, and social media consultation, helping to make your transition event smooth, pain-free and results-driven.
