New Placement Outplacement

Proximity to people is important to us. Three factors allow us to provide effective professional support: individualised advice, our team’s above-average level of commitment, and our many years of experience on both sides of the recruitment process. These capabilities enable us to focus on all aspects of career transition. Our comprehensive advice is tailored to each individual’s personal situation. We have a modular structure we apply for this process using up to date hand outs as a practical introduction to career progression and use supporting tools along with current insights and Know-How.

Our services differ clearly from the traditional form of outplacement. We offer coaching and advice to people in a career transition phase. Not stopping there, however, we go one step further and combine this with active in-placement and new placement support. Working together with our candidates, we seek out the right job for them, actively involving our in-house network in the process. We help you to position yourself vis-à-vis a potential employer.

We always work on a needs-oriented basis: cooperating closely with the company, we can develop and offer a programme that is tailored to its size and individual needs, taking into account the seniority levels and the job market ‘fit’ of the people concerned. Costs are determined in advance within a set time frame, but the schedule and number of meetings are determined according to the individual situation and requirements. All programmes are individually designed, with no limits on the number or the length of the meetings. The Mäder & Partner New Placement programme is ideal for senior management, executives at all levels, and employees.

For me, how to manage the crisis resulting from losing a job was the most important gain I had personally. Staying focused, learning from that experience, identifying the benefits of the new situation are all added values I consider myself very lucky to have gained through intensive work with the coach.
