1-2-1 Pathfinder

Pathfinder Support

Two people hiking
Our pathfinder outplacement support is a detailed package of support that covers job hunting and if relevant, self-employment or retirement planning advice. The pathfinder service consists of either two, three or four 1-2-1 face to face meetings and six months remote support via telephone / email. Since the pandemic we have introduced the option to exchange some or all of the face to face time for online support delivered via Teams or WebEx, something we discuss with each person as they start their programme.  
  • Pathfinder Two includes 2 face to face meetings and six months unlimited telephone support @ £1,150 + VAT
  • Pathfinder Three includes 3 face to face meetings and six months unlimited telephone support @ £1,595 + VAT
  • Pathfinder Four includes 4 face to face meetings and six months unlimited telephone support @ £2,100 + VAT  
So which is the best package for 'me' or my employee?

We tend to find that most people find our Pathfinder 2 as a highly supportive package. However, for those applying using application forms, more senior individuals who may need more intense support, or those undertaking presentations as part of the selection process we recommend Pathfinder 3 as the extra online time can prove invaluable. Our Pathfinder 4 is recommended for very long term employees who require a lot more hands-on or practical support.
