People facing complex career decisions need consistent support and unwavering impetus. Immediately after the critical interview within the company, candidates are met by experts and offered support. The consultants apply all their skills and professional passion to finding the right solution in outplacement. They don’t just listen – they challenge, set targets and provide momentum. One to two consultations per week prevent the possibility of a paralysing lethargy. The candidates are motivated and encouraged to actively contribute.

Three validated personality tests within the personal evaluation framework, assessed by psychologists and discussed with a personal consultant, form the solid basis for self-reflection and – with support from the Grass Outplacement Handbook – for self-analysis. This results in a complete personal asset appraisal.

In an Executive Forum and up to seven thematic workshops (interview, networking, mental training, sales and negotiations training, personal image, independence, social media), predominantly led by external professionals, the candidates receive valuable, practical input for their career planning and the practical job search. During the outplacement process, they additionally benefit from the interaction and exchange with other candidates.

The far-reaching national and international network of the Grass & Partner consultants secures the candidates initial contacts. After a personal evaluation, two consultants work with the candidate to establish goals and visions. The further action strategy is derived from this.

The independence of head hunters and recruiters guarantees the candidates unrestricted, neutral support according to their exact requirements. As a partner, the local branch director has the broadest possible scope for decision making. There is no need for checking back with an international head office. This increases reaction times, flexibility and reliability.

The high levels of proactive engagement and the extensive management experience of the consultants form the basis for sustainability, reliability and innovation. The candidates have access to the latest infrastructure. Consultancy sessions can take place in German, English or French. Approximately six months after the conclusion of an outplacement programme, an additional meeting takes place with the candidate as a form of success monitoring.
