Outplacement Consultancy Process

During an initial meeting without obligation, the candidate will be informed about the purpose, content, procedure and potential of our outplacement services. At the same time, the candidate and consultant get  to know each other and decide what further steps should be taken. Outplacement starts only after the explicit agreement of the candidate and an instruction from the client company. The outplacement process comprises 4 phases:

1.During the "Preparation Phase" strengths and potentials of the candidate are flushed out and personal strategies are developed. Support documentation for job applications is also prepared.

2.The "Objectives Phase" maps out the direction of the candidate's future career: Re-employment or self-employment? What branches or functions should be targeted? Are they realisitic, given the constraints of the current job market? The answers will lead to a clear profile of the potential position(s).

3.The "Focus Phase" is aimed at finding positions and sending out applications. Vacant positions are found through advertisements, internet, databases, recruitment consultants and networks. Candidates write vacancy oriented applications based on anticipated positions.

4.The "Decision Phase" begins when invitations are received for interviews. To prepare for the interview, interview questions and strategies are discussed. Interview training and/or video training is provided to analyse verbal expression and body language. Employment contracts offered are evaluated carefully. Now the new job can start.
