The Business Case
Layoffs End a Role. They Should Not End a Reputation.
Organizational change is sometimes unavoidable. Restructurings, mergers, divestitures, and strategic pivots all affect real people. How you handle departures defines your employer brand long after the transition is complete.
The remaining team is watching. Candidates are watching. Your market is watching. Outplacement is not a cost. It is an investment in the culture and credibility you are building for the future.
Artemis outplacement is different because we place executives every day. We do not teach theory. We teach what actually works on the other side of the hiring table.
Protect Morale
Retained employees need to see that departing colleagues are treated with dignity and real support
Reduce Legal Exposure
Comprehensive outplacement support reduces wrongful termination claims and negative social impact
Preserve Your Brand
Every departing employee becomes an ambassador or a critic. Outplacement shapes which one
Accelerate Recovery
The faster transitioning employees land, the less disruption to your organization and theirs
The Artemis Difference
Built by the Firm That Places Executives
Most outplacement providers teach job search skills from a distance. Artemis sits on the other side of the hiring table every day. We know what hiring managers prioritize, how executive search actually works, and what separates candidates who land quickly from those who stall.
Our outplacement programs are informed by the same behavioral assessment, cultural calibration, and market intelligence we use in retained executive search. That means every resume we optimize, every interview we rehearse, and every positioning strategy we develop is grounded in what actually moves the needle with decision-makers.
When your departing executives work with Artemis, they are not just getting career coaching. They are getting insider access to how the best firms evaluate, select, and hire leadership talent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Outplacement Questions, Answered
We can begin within 48 hours of an employer briefing. Artemis will design a customized program, prepare participant communications, and schedule intake sessions to minimize the gap between separation and active career support. Speed matters for both the departing employee and the remaining team.
Artemis places executives every day through retained search. Our outplacement is informed by direct, current knowledge of what hiring managers and search committees prioritize. Participants benefit from the same behavioral assessment methodology, market intelligence, and professional network we use to fill senior leadership roles. That search-side perspective is something traditional outplacement firms cannot offer.
Both. We offer individual executive packages for one-on-one, high-touch transitions as well as group workshops for department or team-level reductions. Hybrid programs that blend self-paced learning with live coaching are also available. Every engagement is customized to the scope and sensitivity of the situation.
Outplacement is employer-funded. The departing employee receives all services at no personal cost. Many organizations include outplacement as part of a severance package. We work directly with HR and leadership to scope the program and manage billing.
Yes. All programs are available in person, virtually, or as a hybrid blend. Virtual delivery is especially effective for geographically distributed teams or remote employees. Coaching sessions, workshops, and assessments all work well over video. We recommend the format that best fits your team's needs and geography.
Individual executive packages are typically 60 or 90 days, with optional extensions. Group workshops are half-day or full-day events. Hybrid programs provide 90 days of access to materials and bi-weekly coaching. The goal is always the same: move the participant to their next opportunity as quickly and confidently as possible.
