A more strategic approach to executive career transition

At senior level, successful transition is rarely just about a CV. It requires clear positioning, sharper market focus and a proactive strategy for accessing visible and hidden opportunities.

Positioning & personal brand

Clarify your proposition, strengthen your CV and LinkedIn profile and present your leadership value with confidence.

Hidden job market strategy

Move beyond applications by identifying target organisations, decision-makers, recruiters and strategic routes into opportunity.

Senior coaching support

Work with experienced career specialists who understand executive transitions, leadership markets and senior-level decision-making.

Enhanced networking and application support

For clients who need more than coaching alone, Executive Connexions can now provide a more active layer of support through a specialist job search CRM.

Coaching remains the strategic anchor

The technology and application support should not replace senior coaching. It should strengthen the process by making the search more visible, structured and proactive.

For executives

Practical, confidential support for senior professionals who want to secure their next leadership role with greater focus and momentum.

For organisations

Professional outplacement support for businesses that want to protect reputation, support employees and provide meaningful transition assistance.

Why Executives Choose Executive Connexions

Successful career transitions require more than a CV update. They require strategy, accountability, market insight and expert guidance. Here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experience working with us.

 

“I chose to work with Steve and his team in order to help me scope out and execute my next executive role. I found their service invaluable, firstly as a sounding board for ideas I already had, and subsequently with the structure and focus they helped me create for my search.”

FAQs

Where can I find flexible Outplacement Services?

In knowing how to choose the right outplacement firm, it is important to select one that is truly flexible. Everyone knows what works for them, but in most cases, a 1:1 support service is a better method to use for learning and flexibility.

We offer our outplacement services that help job seekers access to career transition via 1:1 and group support. This is a successful approach that allows the job seeker to work where they feel best, can access all of the needed resources, and be able to continue working independently for maximum efficiency.

Some outplacement firms will travel to your workplace or chosen location too where face-to-face coaching is sometimes the best form of learning, but mainly for initialising a personal programme.

We also offer an online career hub which can either be used as an excellent standalone option, or as an addition to 1:1 outplacement coaching.

How to choose an executive outplacement service?

An outplacement programme should be established primarily to take care of your needs.
This is the very first step that must be followed when planning how to choose an outplacement firm. Keep in mind the important fact that an outplacement service should be adaptable and always ready to meet your needs. The best outplacement firm will definitely not throw you or your employees straight into a ‘sausage machine’ programme even if you may or may not be able to tell if the programme is suitable. Look for strong ethics and values.
 
A good outplacement firm will cover many of the aspects already mentioned, but one of the main things is that an outplacement company will tailor the programme to your employees’ needs. Each employee, depending on which industry or level, requires the standard executive outplacement services to be tailored around them to give the best results.
 

The outplacement consultants should contact each individual to ensure that the programme is tailored to them as well as prior consultation with the organiser. For instance, we (Executive Connexions) make sure a thorough needs-assessment is conducted. This is to customise the programme in such a way that it doesn’t just satisfy us, but it meets the needs of the individual and that everything is set for a successful career transition.

How will career coaching benefit me?

 

Research suggests that the Return On Investment (ROI) of career coaching is easily demonstrated in being able to get a better (higher paid) role more quickly. Some statistics say it will cost you 10-15% of an annual salary per month while out of work, with some estimates even higher than that. So gaining support to land your next role faster, has tangible financial benefits.

Career coaching can benefit you a number of ways, which can be different for different people – for many it’s about landing their next role faster, for others it’s about improving networking skills and taking a more measured approach towards their next career step. You’ll learn skills that you can take forward and use again and again in future career moves.

We also help our clients to overcome obstacles such as perceptions around age; how to get the best from recruiters; tackling the feeling of being out of touch or over qualified; and having a poor network. In summary, we’ll help you to be the best candidate that you can be, and improve your networking skills going forward. Executive recruiters tell us that the more prepared candidates often have engaged in coaching.
