Provider checklist
Personal experience, emotional stability, and individual counseling needs vary from person to person. Therefore, it's important that you have influence over the focus and pace of the support and aren't simply pushed through a rigid program.
Flexible individual support
Coaching packages and other components of the offer should be transparent to avoid excessive margins for the provider. High-quality support should not cost more than €4,000 plus VAT.
Cost transparency
Outplacement services should not be too short-term. If limited to 3 or 6 months, the consultation period may end before the next step is determined. If the support ends precisely during the application phase, this can lead to feelings of pressure and uncertainty.
Sufficient consultation time
A positive, optimistic attitude accounts for more than 50% of success in career reorientation.
Not only professional, but also emotional support
Modern digital tools, such as digital guides, self-assessments, headhunter databases, CV optimization, journals, etc., ensure that coaches can truly focus on in-depth sparring.
Use of modern tools
The service provider should not only help with the job search, but also with career reorientation, including identifying personal skills, interests, and career goals. A "guarantee of success" is dangerous in this context: it often leads to employees being rushed into the first available job with minimal time investment, a job in which they may not be happy.
Focus on orientation
The coaches for individual consultations should have extensive expertise, professional coaching training, and a good track record of success.
