“I am very pleased with the staff at CGC. I worked directly with Esther & Carmen and loved the detail, responsiveness and professionalism. They helped me prepare for an interview and made me more confident in the interview and I was ready for all questions.
“Words cannot express my gratitude for two of your fellow employees – Cathy and Audie. After 17 years with the same company and going through a surprise reduction in force, I was pretty broken the first time I met Cathy. We shared many tears and laughs and she was able to coach me to become stronger and smarter with my interview approach.
“Simply outstanding work… (this is an understatement) … I cannot begin to describe the difference the CGC team made the past 24 months. Sincerely THANK YOU.”

Outplacement services – or career transition services – are when employers provide job search services for separated employees when they are going through a layoff. It is included in their severance package and offers the impacted employee access to a career coach, resume writing help and other tools that the job seeker will need. The transitioning employee is matched with career experts who help them manage their job loss.
Outplacement assistance services are for companies and HR leaders with a conscience who want to help displaced employees navigate their next professional steps after they exit their roles.
Our outplacement program matches exiting employees with job search coaches who provide expertise and empathy, not only giving advice on every aspect of the job search, from interviewing to LinkedIn help, but also acting as cheerleaders for affected employees as they traverse this process. That is the Challenger Difference.
Companies and Human Resources departments who offer outplacement to exiting employees as a severance benefit build loyalty among their remaining employees and use it as a way to recruit talent. They foster more fulfilled departing employees, ultimately leading to a stronger employer brand and ability to attract top talent. Current employees have higher morale and sense of value. Outplacement truly turns a negative into a positive.
