Outplacement Services

The Notus Difference

Our Philosophy

Over 20 years ago Notus began providing job search and career transition services to meet the growing demand of professionals. In order to deliver on the results these professionals expected, it was clear we had to have the finest and most effective material, strategies, processes and techniques. We also had to provide meaningful, genuine and valuable coaching. Clients had to know and feel we were on their side during this critical time and for the long haul. In short, we had to care-to be the best.

It's The Network

This philosophy has influenced us in the past and continues today to affect everything we do. For example, early on we realized "it's not what you know but who you know" that would make all the difference in this line of business, so we decided to make each client "a member of the family." That is, upon placement, clients remain valued associates and receive FREE life time services. And as a way to "pay it forward," they become part of a network to help other Notus clients find their way. Other outplacement firms were not as bold, called this "crazy" and have been left in the dust just as the Internet has created a platform for unprecedented business networking. For Notus, this is not window dressing. Over the years this network has become formidable. It truly sets us apart. We have created an enviable human infrastructure unmatched in the career management industry.

Offering Outplacement Services

Soon it was apparent that a new player in career management had moved into the neighborhood. The Notus difference was stark in everything that really mattered. As the news got out, companies wanted Notus to take care of their outplacement needs because they knew that all the hype of outplacement benefits had to be delivered and not just talked about.

Show Me The Money

What are the real deliverables in outplacement anyway and how does Notus stack up? Most outplacement firms say they can cut down on multiple adverse effects of separation because an exiting employee gets treated well by the outplacement firm and that reverberates through the workforce.

With Notus, how we treat and work with our clients is far superior than other traditional outplacement firms. Remember, we wrote the book on "professional compassion." Also, if just a few professionals and executives get "good treatment," then the proclaimed positive benefits of employees seeing the company do the right thing will be just lip service. Notus provides a tailored set of outplacement programs to help Executives, Management, Professionals and key Support Staff. No other firm offers as many choices to fit any budget. We offer an executive service where we do about everything, but tuck the client in at night. We offer our flagship professional program where training, coaching and collaboration take on a whole new meaning.

We offer a personal package that equips clients to execute their own search with the best training materials and tools available. In addition, clients can just get a resume made up, have specialty marketing materials developed, or have us do some direct connecting with promising opportunities.

Beyond the Executive and Professional programs, clients can contract for as many coaching sessions as they desire, covering any topic that will lead to getting the job done. With these choices, many more of your employees will benefit and so will you in a big way. At Notus, we believe that everyone deserves a "Foot in the Door."

Take It Easy

Another touted outplacement benefit is how easy, rapid and smooth the termination and transition process is made. However, traditional outplacement has separating employees wait to fit into a scheduled workshop. In contrast, through our expert remote servicing capabilities and using the latest communication technologies, Notus makes contact with your exiting employees immediately, sends out materials directly to them, develops documents and begins coaching quickly. No appointment is needed nor is there a schedule to fit into or wait for. No visit to an inconvenient location is required. You simply provide us your separating employees' contact information and we take care of the rest! It doesn't get any easier than this!

About Technology

Many outplacement firms are leveraging technology where they give webinars and make coaching calls from across the continent. Notus too has developed cutting edge technologies to better assist its clients, while rejecting the ease and savings technology promises if it is at the expense of their effectiveness. Notus always has and always will be committed to the development of the individual. Notus uses technology to facilitate and deliver its high quality service with nothing lost. For example, instead of seeing a webinar on interviewing once with just notes or a white paper to refer to, each Notus client obtains a complete DVD set of all the training modules for easy viewing, reviewing, practicing and brushing up 24/7.

It has been found that demonstrations and modeling is critical in order to see the greatest training impact. In addition to the DVDs' demonstrations, Notus can use technology to demonstrate a technique or show a procedure to a client on a home PC that just cannot be learned by hearing or reading. Further, Notus is able to put together personal video conferencing in the comfort of a client's own home when not seeing eye to eye just won't do.

Last Word

We have the fastest "jobbed" rate in our industry - cutting the average job search time in half (*Based on Wall Street Journal Job Search Averages). Additionally, our proven programs are able to help individuals obtain more satisfying positions, and negotiate higher pay. Therefore, you can trust that the outplacement benefits you provide will deliver the highest value for your money and for your exiting employees.

If Notus is starting to sound different among outplacement firms, it's because it is. Notus means business, loves what it does, puts the job seeking client first, and thoroughly exceeds expectations. It's our passion. Let us put it to work for you.
