Outplacement
Reliable support through change and transition
When companies face change, solutions are needed that are professional, humane and forward-looking. Ability Search & Selection offers outplacement programmes that support individuals towards their next step, while also providing employers with a reliable partner throughout the entire process.
What is outplacement at Ability Search & Selection?
Outplacement at Ability Search & Selection is an individual programme that helps people move forward in their working lives following redundancy, reorganisation or other change. We act as a trusted support for both the employer and the individual in what is often a sensitive, complex and important situation for the future.
Each programme is tailored to the circumstances of the company, the individual and the specific situation. The methodology is structured and proven, but the content is shaped around current needs, goals and conditions. We view transition as a journey between two stages — from the current situation to a new and sustainable next step in working life.
Throughout the process, the individual has access to a coach who provides guidance, structure and support to make the path forward as clear and effective as possible.

How the process works
Step 1 – Current situation & needs assessment
We begin by understanding the situation, the individual’s circumstances and the company’s needs. This creates a clear foundation for how the programme should be designed.
Step 2 – Assessment & direction setting
Together, we identify experience, strengths, drivers and possible paths forward. The focus is on creating structure and direction for the next step.
Step 3 – Active support throughout the transition
Through coaching, guidance and practical support, we help individuals move forward in their process — from application documents to interview preparation and job searching.
Step 4 – Follow-up & next steps
We follow up on progress and adapt the support when needed. The goal is for the individual to move forward in a clear, confident and sustainable way.
