Outplacement Services Testimonial

On the morning of July 8, 2014, Michael Ettinger was introduced to Ture because his job as a senior manager for a global financial services company based in Philadelphia was eliminated. He describes his reaction as one of shock and disbelief, particularly because things seemed to be going really well for him and his job. Michael was offered a severance package that included outplacement services with Ture. Up to this point in his career, he hadn’t heard of outplacement services, but he was willing to give them a try because it was important that he transition quickly into a new job.

On the personal side, Michael had just welcomed a new baby, and his spouse was staying at home, which made it even more critical that he find something. The stress of work and family added to the pressures of the transition. Once Michael started his outplacement services program with Ture, he was assigned a personal career consultant who set up an orientation call to get him started. His outplacement services program was virtual, which meant that all of the career consulting was done over the phone. This delivery approach worked well because he had the flexibility to help his wife around the house while managing his job search.

Other benefits of the program included a three-day turnaround, during which Michael’s resume was completed and his LinkedIn profile was updated and optimized. This quick turnaround allowed his career consultant to set his career marketing plan in motion. The Ture outplacement services program included a resume promotion tool that allowed Michael to post his resume to 50+ job boards using one interface. He was also promoted in the Ture recruiting and networking center of the Career Management System, which provided external recruiters with access to Michael’s updated profile.

Michael benefited from cutting-edge technology that allowed him to customize his resume for every job using Ture’s newest “perfect match” feature. Within three weeks of accessing Ture’s outplacement services program, he was interviewing with several top companies in the Philadelphia region. Within six weeks, Michael landed a great job with a great company.
