WE TAKE A PROACTIVE, SUPPORTIVE, AND FACILITATIVE ROLE TOWARDS ENSURING THAT SEPARATED EMPLOYEES PUT TOGETHER A VERY ACTIVE, MARKETABLE, AND EFFECTIVE CAREER PLAN THAT GETS RESULTS.
While the overriding objective is to identify and obtain career opportunities for the separated employee, we are sensitive to the fact that different people have different needs at this stressful time. Some need a program that gets off to a fast start, while others need more time to assess their situation and to identify new career alternatives. However, when a career path is determined, CareerSoar actively assists the employee in locating employment opportunities and arranging interviews through its extensive local, national, and international network. CareerSoar is also sensitive to the needs of those employees not directly affected by the rightsizing and has comprehensive Survivor Counseling Programs.

CareerSoar provides a blend of cutting edge technological career management tools with a very personal touch. Our career transition professionals are only a phone call or e-mail away, and are available to help with any individual client’s needs 7 days per week, including holidays.

OUR RECORD IN RELOCATING SEPARATED EMPLOYEES FROM MANY INDUSTRIES AND MANY DISCIPLINES IS EXCEPTIONAL.
“ What happens when an employee is not re-employed within the program timetable?” This has for the most part, been an infrequent occurrence. However, when this occurs we are prepared to extend the time limit of the program at no additional cost, provided the employee has been actively engaged in the process of Career Continuance.

OUR LEAD CONSULTANTS ARE SENIOR PROFESSIONALS AND SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PEOPLE AND ARE WELL KNOWN WITHIN THE INDUSTRY.
They have had extensive career transition (outplacement) experience and are very sensitive to the initial and longer-term needs of separated employees. We would also stress that our senior consultants, including our Vice President, provide hands-on counseling throughout our Program. Many are also members of numerous professional organizations, which provide a strong information network. Our consultants are highly trained as counselors and many of them are successful business people with a diversity of career experience to draw on when providing counseling assistance. These Consultants are retained through our group of companies, with a number having worked with us for over 10 years. We do not retain short-term contract personnel.

CAREERSOAR HAS AN OUTSTANDING REPUTATION FOR DEALING WITH THE MOST DIFFICULT CASES.
For example, we have career transition consultants who are Registered Psychologists with a proven track record of working with corporations.

Our consultants are leading edge, independent professionals, with CFP and CMA designations, and as a result are able to provide advice and counseling that is not associated with any particular brokerage house. Tax and financial planning assistance is an integral part of our program and is provided to all employee levels on an individual basis. Financial planning and benefits replacement counseling has no time limit; services can be utilized as frequently as required.

CAREERSOAR PROVIDES EXTENSIVE TRAINING AND COACHING ON ALL ASPECTS OF COMMUNICATION AS PART OF OUR STANDARD PROGRAM.
We ensure that individuals are confident and competent in verbal and non-verbal communications, establishing and maintaining rapport, effective telephone skills, making cold calls, and networking strategies.

CAREERSOAR IS THE ONLY CAREER TRANSITION SERVICE PROVIDER THAT PROVIDES INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO WORK WITH SEARCH PROFESSIONALS.
Working with recruiters is an important part of the job search process. We train your employees in how to find the right recruiter to meet their needs, as well as how to communicate their individual needs to these recruiters.

EMPLOYEES ARE ALLOWED TO RE-DEFINE THEIR OUTPLACEMENT PROGRAMS.
This is subject to the exercise of our professional judgment based on the individuals’ specific needs. We believe programs should not be dictated to employees but customized to suit their specialized needs.

WE PROVIDE FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT EVEN AFTER AN INDIVIDUAL HAS SUCCESSFULLY CONTINUED THEIR CAREER.
As a general policy, if an employee finds new employment before the time his/her assistance package has expired, we will continue to provide services (for example, career counseling) if he/she so desires.

CAREERSOAR UNIQUELY OFFERS COUNSELLING WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE EMPLOYEE’S FAMILY.
We view career decisions as part of the family process and as such, family members need to have input into that decision as well as be able to also have counseling themselves on returning to the work force or seeking a superior position. To our knowledge, other outplacement firms do not provide this service.

WE ARE EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE.

WE CONTINUALLY STRIVE TO IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
CareerSoar is always striving to improve the quality, effectiveness, and value of its’ outplacement services, both through business affiliations or the addition of new offerings within our company. In this vein, we have recently added several career transition experts with expertise within the federal government job search process. This action provides us with one more tool to provide to our clients during their career transition period.

CareerSoar understands that confidentiality is critical in dealing with both corporate and individual clients. CareerSoar treats all information as confidential, and never divulges information of any sort provided to us by either a corporate or individual client. This confidential information is only provided to those within our organization with a need to know.
