Planning a layoff?
Tell me your timeline and headcount. I’ll follow up about what would work for your team.
Talk to usA layoff is hard enough. Support shouldn't be the hard part.
I help employers give departing employees practical, one-on-one career support without having to purchase a large enterprise program. Choose individual support, group workshops, or a combination that makes sense for your team and budget.
What does outplacement cost elsewhere?
These are published U.S. program prices from other providers. The programs differ in what's included and how long employees receive support, so use them as starting points rather than like-for-like quotes.
Published starting prices, per participant
These are pricing reference points, not equivalent packages. area|Talent's individual service covers résumé writing and LinkedIn optimization; other programs may include different services and support periods.
Sources: INTOO Solo+ (3 months), RiseSmart Essentials (3 months), and LHH Job Search Essentials (direct purchase). Published pricing checked October 2026. Mercer offers custom service-order arrangements; no verified public per-person rate is shown. The figures above are not quotes for equivalent programs.
Why area|Talent is different.
I bring experience from the hiring side to the people you are supporting, without requiring you to purchase a large enterprise program. I work directly with each individual participant and can support teams virtually or in person.
One service. Pricing based on headcount.
Every enrolled employee receives the same core individual support. You don't have to choose different packages for different job levels. The per-person price goes down as enrollment increases.
Résumé + LinkedIn
Professional résumé writing and LinkedIn profile optimization. Coaching and other services are available separately as add-ons.
- Targeted résumé rewrite, including one revision round
- LinkedIn profile content and optimization guidance
Per-employee rates
Add what your employees need.
Some people will want a little more time or a specific service. Add that support only for the employees who need it, rather than purchasing a different package for everyone.
Résumé + LinkedIn for workshop attendees
Individual résumé writing and LinkedIn optimization for the employees you select, whether or not they also receive coaching.
One-on-one coaching
Personalized coaching for job-search strategy, interviewing, offer negotiation, career changes, or whatever the employee needs help working through.
Recruiter distribution
Send a completed résumé to 1,000–2,000 recruiters selected by function and industry from my broader network.
Resource Portal
Access to an unlimited-use cover letter generator, asynchronous mock interviews, and best-practice guides for résumés and LinkedIn profiles.
Choose only the services your employees need. Workshop participants can receive résumé and LinkedIn support, one-on-one coaching, recruiter distribution, or Resource Portal access in any combination. No add-on requires another.
Group coaching for a shared starting point.
When an organization needs to support a larger group on a tighter budget, workshops can be a practical option. They can stand alone or be combined with individual outplacement for selected employees.
Group career workshop
Four hours of interactive coaching over Zoom, either in one session or in two two-hour sessions.
- Résumé structure, content, and examples
- LinkedIn profile and job-search techniques
- Interview preparation and live Q&A
- Exercises participants can work through during the session
- Take-home resources and next steps
Hands-on working session
A half-day working session at your office or an agreed location, with more room for practice and direct feedback.
- Guided résumé and LinkedIn working time
- Interview exercises and group feedback
- Targeted résumé reviews where time allows
- Options for additional individual appointments
For workshops outside Los Angeles, the company covers travel expenses separately from the workshop fee.
Discuss an in-person session →Workshops cover group instruction. Individual résumé and LinkedIn work, one-on-one coaching, recruiter distribution, and Resource Portal access are available separately, in any combination. Résumé and LinkedIn pricing is based on the number of employees receiving that service, not workshop attendance.
What happens after you sign on.
I keep the process simple for your HR team and work directly with employees once everything is set up.
We collect employee contact information.
Once you sign on, your HR team shares the contact details for participating employees and the transition timeline.
We send employees their next steps.
I contact each employee directly with information about what to expect, how to get started, and how to schedule their services.
We get to work.
I work directly with each employee on the services you selected and coordinate any group workshops.
HR receives appropriate status updates.
I share updates on outreach, participation, and service completion without disclosing private coaching conversations or personal job-search details.
Estimate the cost for your team.
Tell me how many employees are affected and what kind of support you're considering. The estimate will adjust based on your selections.
Published competitor prices cover different services and are not directly comparable.
In-person workshops are quoted separately. They are not included in the amount shown above; travel expenses may also apply.
Request a quote →This is a planning estimate, not a formal quote. Final costs depend on the services selected, timeline, and any in-person workshop or travel arrangements.
Questions HR teams usually ask.
If you're working through an unusual timeline, a mix of job levels, or a particularly tight budget, let's talk about it.
Most engagements can begin within a few business days of agreeing on the scope and timeline, including layoffs already underway.
No. You can offer a group workshop and choose individual services for only the employees who need them. Résumé and LinkedIn support, coaching, recruiter distribution, and Resource Portal access can each be added separately.
Yes. You can book a workshop by itself or add any combination of individual services. Résumé and LinkedIn support starts at $399+ per employee based on the number receiving it, coaching is $150 per employee, recruiter distribution is $200 per employee, and Resource Portal access is $150 per employee. None of these services requires another.
We can scope the engagement around your actual headcount, employee needs, and timeline. Additional executive coaching and other services can be priced separately.
Résumé and LinkedIn pricing is based on the number receiving that service. If 21 attend a workshop but only three receive résumé and LinkedIn support, the three-person rate applies to those three employees, not all 21 workshop attendees. Each other add-on is charged only for the employees selected.
Yes, for employees receiving individual services. I work directly with each participant on their résumé and LinkedIn profile, and provide coaching when selected. HR receives appropriate status information, not private coaching details.
Yes. I can facilitate in-person workshops outside Los Angeles, with additional travel expenses paid by the company. Virtual workshops are also available.
