Executive Career Transition

 

Supporting C-suite executives, Directors, and Senior Managers during exits, whether due to redundancy or negotiated settlements, is a detailed task. Executives sometimes struggle with finding new positions quickly, often bound by restrictive covenants, concerns arise around self-doubt, external perceptions, finances and their reputation in the marketplace.

 

We recognise that for an employer, the departure of an executive can:

 

  • Increase levels of stress and uncertainty among other members of the leadership team
  • Create an adverse impact with external customers due to internal changes
  • Potentially harm employer branding and reputation in the market
  • Create future challenges in attracting new talent
  • Reduce productivity, negatively affect culture, and increase turnover among remaining employees

 

 

 

Providing specialist support

 

 

Executives will benefit from working with an outplacement consultant who also offers over  25 years’ experience of working within the executive recruitment market. Every programme we deliver is bespoke and tailored to each individual’s own unique personal circumstances.

 

  • Designed for C-Suite Employees, Executives, Directors, and Senior Managers, our executive 1-1 outplacement programs include unlimited consultancy, proactive support, and personalised, tailored support for either 6 or 12 months.
  • We also offer unlimited coaching to provide additional assistance to facilitate a career transition at this level.
  • The departing executive will receive a personalised and confidential premium service, which includes either face-to-face support at a convenient location, remote digital or a hybrid arrangement.
  • This flexible service enables the pursuit of various career paths, such as securing a new executive role, becoming a non-executive, engaging in consultancy, starting their own business, or planning for retirement.

 

 

An executive program typically includes support with:

 

  • Assessing needs and options
  • Personal wellbeing
  • Creating an executive CV, cover letter and optimising LinkedIn profile
  • Developing a personal strategy: Headhunters, executive job boards, networking and hidden markets
  • Interview coaching: preparation, feedback, formats, presentation, role play and psychometrics
  • Providing research resources and support
  • Custom support for permanent, non-executive or portfolio careers
  • Evaluating and negotiating offers: Is the fit right?, maximising fixed, variable remuneration and notice period
  • Transition coaching for the new role, focusing on personal impact and first 100-day planning
