A dignified, structured transition program for companies who genuinely care about their people.

Purpose of the Program

This outplacement solution is designed for small and midsized companies that value their employees and feel the emotional and cultural strain of releasing someone they respect. When a separation becomes necessary, how a company handles the transition says everything about its leadership and its culture.

This program provides a structured, supportive path forward for the departing employee—helping them regain confidence, accelerate their job search, and land their next role faster.

Instead of simply ending employment, this service communicates:
“We still care about you, even when the business must move forward.”

Outplacement is a low-cost, high-ROI way for leadership to handle separations with humanity while protecting morale, reputation, and employer brand.

How the Program Works

This program includes individualized, one-on-one support delivered by experienced executive recruiters who understand the job market at a deep level.

Step 1: Initial Transition Consultation (45–60 minutes)

  • Clarify goals, discuss career direction, and evaluate readiness for an effective search.
  • Identify emotional, practical, and strategic needs for the transition.

Step 4: Job Search Strategy and Market Navigation

  • Creation of a weekly job-search workflow with step-by-step guidance.
  • Target-company identification and application strategy.
  • Networking plans and outreach templates to increase response rates.

Step 2: Resume and Cover Letter Optimization

  • Complete redesign and modernization of resume.
  • Alignment with recruiter expectations, market trends, and applicant-tracking systems.
  • Development of a flexible cover-letter template for multiple opportunities.

Step 5: Interview Preparation and Coaching

  • Role-specific mock interviews.
  • Training on behavioral, competency, leadership, and case-style formats.
  • Coaching to increase clarity, confidence, and executive presence.

Step 3: LinkedIn Profile Enhancement

  • Branding and keyword optimization.
  • Strengthening credibility, searchability, and recruiter engagement.
  • Guidance on connection strategy and content strategy to increase visibility.

Step 6: Offer Evaluation and Negotiation Support

  • Guidance to evaluate compensation, role expectations, benefits, and long-term fit.
  • Support navigating negotiation conversations professionally and effectively.

This is the same high-level support Driggs Search provides to executive candidates—adapted into a step-by-step structure for transitioning employees at all levels.

Value to the Employer

This program provides measurable cultural and business benefits, including:
  • Protects employer brand by ensuring departing employees feel supported and respected.
  • Reduces the emotional burden and guilt managers often experience during layoffs.
  • Minimizes the pressure on companies to rehire or provide extended severance.
  • Demonstrates leadership maturity by handling separations in a thoughtful and compassionate manner.
  • Helps maintain productivity and morale among remaining team members.
  • Reduces legal and reputational risk by offering a credible, professional transition path.

Outplacement becomes one of the most cost-effective investments a company can make in retention, culture, and reputation management.
