A non-traditional and individualized approach to career outplacement – at a cost you can afford

Absolutely no one in the industry offers a more comprehensive and client-focused approach while offering a robust suite of services at an affordable price. Our main focus is to provide a career outplacement and transition plan that is both in alignment with the employer’s budget and goals and provides the released employee with the professional advisement they need to land a job in an expedite manner.

Many corporations take care of their released employees by sending them to an outplacement agency upon termination of employment at an expense to the employer of up to $50,000 per month. However, most outplacement companies only offer virtual or group coaching. Though this model may be cost-effective for the outplacement provider, the released employee does not receive the one-on-one attention and service they need (and deserve) to make a smooth transition into another job or career.

At Ascend, client service for both the providing company and released employee is our number one priority. No hassles, hidden administrative costs or fine print. Every outplacement plan and service we offer comes with a 100% Client Satisfaction Guarantee.
