Newplacement / Outplacement

Proximity to people is important to us. Three factors allow us to provide effective professional support: individualized advice, our team’s superior level of commitment, and 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 and updated handouts 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. We also 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 while actively involving our in-house network in the process. We help you to position yourself vis-à-vis a potential employer.

We work on a needs-oriented basis: we can develop an individually designed program that is tailored to your company and individual needs. Costs and time frames are determined in advance, but the schedule and number of meetings are determined according to the individual situation and requirements with no upper limit on the length or number of meetings. The Mäder & Partner New Placement program is ideal for senior management, executives at all levels, and employees.

Our program comprises five modules that build on one another to give the best possible preparation for our client’s next professional challenge.
