New Placement / Outplacement

New Placement / Outplacement for Specialists and Managers at all levels

Through personalized one-on-one coaching, the exceptional commitment of our team, and many years of experience on both sides of the recruitment process, we provide truly professional support. Our comprehensive consulting is tailored to each candidate’s personal situation. To this end, we use supportive modules, up-to-date handouts available in our client area, and personality assessments as practical guidance for continuing one’s career journey. In addition, around 30 hours of webinars and workshops foster exchange and collaborative work in small groups.

We design programmes tailored to your organisation’s needs. The budget is agreed in advance. The duration and number of sessions are set according to each candidate’s situation and needs. Mäder & Partner’s New Placement programme is suitable for executives, managers at all levels, and employees.

Outplacement for Top Management / Executives

In addition to exploring career reorientation, top-level executives often focus on other areas such as finance, health, and personal branding, and seek targeted, goal-oriented, and individualised support. Following a thorough career assessment, we explore topics such as future board roles, interim management assignments, business acquisitions or succession planning, and/or we prepare top executives for new C-level positions in their desired sector. We maintain a close and discreet network at the highest levels, further supporting effective positioning and placement.
