Executive outplacement costs
Senior career transition support usually costs more than standard outplacement because the work is deeper, more confidential and more focused on positioning, visibility and the hidden job market.
What you are paying for
Executive redundancy and senior career transition often need more strategic support than a standard CV or interview package. At this level, the challenge is not only applying for advertised roles. It is being found, understood and approached by the right people.
The cost reflects the time needed to clarify positioning, improve CV and LinkedIn visibility, plan recruiter and head-hunter contact, prepare for senior interviews and support the person through a more sensitive career move.
Typical senior package
£3,250 + VAT
Best for senior managers, directors and executives who need intensive one-to-one support through redundancy or career transition.
Why costs vary
A senior manager with a clear next step may need a structured package. A board-level professional, founder or executive leaving confidentially may need a bespoke programme. The more complex the role, market, confidentiality or timing, the more tailored the work needs to be.
Executive outplacement should help the person move from uncertainty into a clear market strategy. That means improving how they present their leadership value, commercial impact and next-step story.
Found, engage, action
Executive CV and LinkedIn work helps recruiters, head-hunters and hiring decision-makers understand the profile quickly.
The profile needs to communicate leadership value, commercial impact and the right senior-level proposition.
Consultancy calls help shape applications, interviews, outreach, networking and the next practical steps.
Cost options
£3,250 + VAT
A strong fit when the executive needs a structured route through positioning, CV, LinkedIn, recruiter visibility, applications and interviews.
Quoted
Better when the situation is board-level, founder-led, confidential, urgent, employer-funded or too nuanced for a fixed package.
Cost versus value
Executive outplacement is worth judging by value, not only by price. The right support can help a senior person avoid drifting, present themselves more clearly and approach the market with stronger confidence.
For employers, executive outplacement can also help protect goodwill during a difficult redundancy or exit process. It shows that the organisation is supporting the individual with practical, senior-level help.
