Handling separations professionally, fairly and with respect – while protecting your employer brand.
Workforce reductions and cost cutting are among the most difficult decisions a company has to make. How a separation is handled determines where your company stands afterwards – with those affected, with the remaining team and in the market.
In the life sciences industry in particular, the market is small. Employees who leave today may be clients, partners or applicants again tomorrow. And how a company handles separations gets around – in the industry, in professional networks and on employer review portals.
A professional Outplacement shows that this company takes responsibility, even in difficult times. This strengthens your employer brand, stabilises morale in the remaining team and takes much of the sting out of separations.
Our Outplacement is not a one-off measure but a programme for groups and teams that you put together from individual modules. That way you get exactly the support that suits your situation.
We work exclusively with companies in the life sciences industry – from pharma, biotech, diagnostics and medical technology. The programme is aimed at all affected employees, from specialists to management.
The programme combines group workshops with individual one-to-one support. And it does not start with those affected but with you: with preparing the separation meetings and with communication.
The basic package is included in every programme. It provides the organisational framework and ensures that all modules mesh smoothly.
At the start, the participants get to know the programme, the people involved and the process. The kick-off provides orientation and creates a positive start to a phase of reorientation.
We coordinate all processes between the participants, the consultants, your HR department and the specialist departments. You receive regular insight into progress and, at the end, a report with findings and recommendations.
As a recruitment consultancy for the life sciences industry, we have a broad network. Where appropriate, we make contacts that help the participants with their professional reorientation.
During the application phase, the participants are not left on their own. In a weekly consultation hour by phone or video, experienced recruitment consultants from the life sciences industry answer all questions about the job search.
A lawyer specialising in employment law prepares your managers for the separation meetings. He explains how to conduct the meetings clearly and respectfully, what matters legally and how typical mistakes can be avoided.

All prices are per participant plus VAT. Your individual quote depends on the group size and the modules selected.
We work exclusively in the life sciences industry and know the market, companies and roles first-hand.
Our recruitment consultants know which profiles are in demand and how applicants can position themselves successfully.
The competency-based interview by recruitment consultants with industry experience is our unique selling point. A general application trainer cannot provide this.
Since 2011 we have been filling specialist and management positions in the industry.
Usually around eight weeks: one week of preparation, six weeks of delivery and one week of completion. The exact duration depends on the modules selected.
The basic package is always included; you choose the other modules freely. All prices are per participant plus VAT. Your individual quote depends on the group size and the modules selected.
Both. Personal coaching and the potential analysis take place online; the interview training workshop takes place on site. The application workshop and the competency-based interview are available either on site or online.
Personal content from coaching and one-to-one sessions is, of course, treated confidentially. Reporting to you is limited to the progress and results of the programme.
Every separation is different. In a confidential initial call, we clarify which modules make sense for your company.
