“Redundancy”, “downsizing” and “managing headcount” are difficult for everybody. It can get in the way of the company and its ex-employees (and even the remaining employees) moving forwards.

Difficult for companies

Engaging a Career Transition Specialist can make the process more effective and positive. It can help ease structural change and be a vehicle for those involved to look forwards to new and positive horizons.

SAM Headhunting can help. We have structured programmes in place to guide companies and people forwards and make the process more palatable and positive for all concerned. From mentoring, counselling, guidance, CV and career advice, we can tailor cost-effective programmes that work.

We also have some highly effective (yet simple to operate) NLP tools to help understand common team traits and behaviours to help bring objectivity to change management. These tools can also help track these behaviours over time to help ensure that the inherent strengths of the organisation are maintained and developed.

Difficult for employees

Career transition guidance and advice is a vital part of moving on. It can involve CV and job application writing, marketing oneself (especially in the on-line databases that proliferate these days), interview role-plays, psychometric testing, as well as a whole heap of support to get the brain in gear to plan a career in a very active marketplace.
