Outplacement Services

Because doing the right thing for employees shouldn't mean settling for generic career advice.

Whether you're supporting 1 employee or 100, we'll work with you to create a solution that aligns with the level of support you want to provide.

We provide personalized career support rooted in more than 20 years of recruiting experience, helping employees better understand their marketability, strengthen their positioning, and navigate today's job market with confidence.

When organizations provide outplacement services, career stipends, or transition support, the goal is simple: help employees move forward successfully.

You want to support employees during a difficult transition. You want to protect their employer brand. You want to provide meaningful career assistance rather than simply checking a box.

Unfortunately, many outplacement programs rely on standardized coaching, generic templates, and AI-generated resume revisions that don't reflect how hiring decisions are actually made today.

Every week, we speak with professionals who have already gone through an outplacement program. They've attended the workshops, completed the coaching sessions, and had their resumes rewritten. Yet they're still struggling to get interviews. The intention is good. The results often aren't.

When we review their materials, we often find the same issues:

AI-generated bullet points that sound different but don't improve positioning
One-size-fits-all coaching
Outdated job search advice
Surface-level LinkedIn recommendations

Why Companies Choose Karpiak Consulting

Companies invest in outplacement because they care about their people. But providing a benefit isn't the same as providing value. Every employee has a different background, different goals, different challenges, and different opportunities. Their career support should reflect that reality.

We've reviewed countless resumes created through traditional outplacement programs. Too often, we find advice that doesn't reflect today's hiring market. Your employees deserve better.

And if you're investing in career transition support, you deserve confidence that the service is actually helping.

Benefits for Employers:

Providing meaningful career transition support can help organizations:

Protect and strengthen employer brand
Demonstrate commitment to employees during workforce changes
Improve the employee experience during layoffs or restructuring
Provide a benefit employees actually use and value
Increase confidence that employees are receiving practical, relevant guidance
Support positive outcomes for departing employees
Reinforce organizational values during difficult decisions

Employees remember how they were treated when they leave. Providing meaningful support demonstrates that people matter even after employment ends.

For Employees Receiving Outplacement Benefits

If your employer has provided outplacement services, career coaching benefits, a transition allowance, severance reimbursement, or a professional development stipend, we may be able to help. Many clients come to us after participating in a traditional outplacement program because they still have questions about:

Their resume
Their LinkedIn profile
Their job search strategy
Their interview performance
Their positioning in today's market

Our goal is to provide practical, personalized guidance based on how hiring decisions are actually made.
