Outplacement

A system of planned change to help organizations effectively manage workforce reductions and provide impacted employees with career transition services.

As the largest Northwest-based outplacement and career transition firm, Moore & Associates has the expertise to help your organization conduct an effective downsizing which includes professional career transition assistance for your departing employees.

Our career transition methodology places full emphasis on facilitating rapid and smooth transitions. The negative energies of departing employees are addressed, acknowledged, and refocused on a very constructive and proactive approach to the market. Our unique client-focused approach helps individuals reach the next stage of their career growth through a systematic, proactive marketing process designed to build life-long career management skills.

All of the Individual, Group, and Senior Executive career transition programs we offer are centered around our proprietary Four-Step Career Marketing SystemTM. This exclusive, state-of-the-art career marketing model is supported by our comprehensive client workbook, as well as an interactive Online Career Center, and has been used by Moore & Associates clients for over a decade to achieve resounding levels of career success.

The core elements of the Four-Step system include:

· Career Analysis & Strategy

Our work with each client begins with an in-depth assessment process that helps identify strengths, interests, aptitudes, and potential career avenues. Once the client determines the most suitable career path, our team then strategically positions the client to approach the marketplace with a personalized marketing plan and targeted resume. In this stage of the process, clients receive vital objective feedback from an expert coach and also work to build their confidence to the level necessary for job hunting success.

· Job Search Preparation

Prior to fully launching their job hunting campaign, our coaching staff works with the client to make sure they are fully prepared for the journey which lies ahead. Expert advice is given regarding job hunt organization, financial planning, resume usage, cover letter development, and key verbal communication elements they will need to have ready. Clients develop interviewing and networking scripts and role-play them with their coach until they are fully prepared to take these messages to the marketplace.

· Job Search Implementation

With a goal in sight, and ample preparation completed, the process shifts to focus on generating a number of high-quality job leads and interviews within a rapid time frame. Clients receive an overview of the four channels where significant career positions can be found as well as the latest, most-effective techniques for approaching these channels. In addition, clients receive access to leading-edge market research and emerging opportunities databases available exclusively through Moore & Associates. Even in a challenging job market, our comprehensive self-marketing techniques are proven to generate multiple published and unpublished employment opportunities.

· Interviewing & Negotiating

The final stage of the process involves sharpening each client's ability to sell themselves, build value, and negotiate the most attractive possible compensation package. In this step, clients gain extensive knowledge of modern interview formats, questions, response strategies, and conversational dynamics. Additionally, through role-playing and practice, they dramatically improve their ability to turn competitive interview situations into offers. Once an offer (or multiple offers) have been secured, the client then receives real-time coaching on the subtleties of when, where, and how to negotiate for a great package without eroding rapport or good faith.

In short, Moore & Associates is highly prepared to tackle virtually any career transition or outplacement project that your company might be facing at present or in the foreseeable future. We look forward to your call to discuss our latest programs, resources, and approaches and how we can bring these to bear on the specific needs of your organization!
