Outplacement Planning

Great Valley Consulting, Inc.’s virtual career planning service is a step-by-step, interactive tool designed by professional career planners and coaches to help your former employee determine two things: exactly what steps to take next in their career, and the actual market for their skills.

It’s a self-directed online guide that helps individuals make personal assessments, set goals, and create a specific action plan for locating their next position.

No matter how a candidate hears about an opening, they will probably respond by emailing their resume to the HR department, just like everyone else. As you know, the vast majority of such resumes are “skimmed,” then trashed.

To get past all the major cuts and into the finals, the candidate needs to stand out. They could really use an interactive, web-based personal biography -- a multimedia-rich presentation complete with photos, animation, audio, and plenty of hyperlinks that we can track.

So that’s exactly what we provide, hosted on our servers. It’s a dynamic marketing presentation designed to command attention and sell the candidate’s strengths.

If you’re seeking a position as a regional sales manager, you’ll want to speak with vice presidents of sales about getting the job. That’s obvious, but not necessarily all that easy.

To help, we developed internal research software that quickly locates hundreds of company websites that meet our search criteria and scan them with spider-search technology to collect thousands of names, titles, phone numbers and emails.

As far as the candidate is concerned, they’re all the right people to speak with.

SalesFlag™ is a remarkable email-tracking application that lets the user “see” who is opening their emails and how many links the recipient is clicking on. Candidates know immediately which hiring authorities are reviewing their multimedia candidate presentation and how interested the hiring authority is in them. All based on the number of links they click – even as they’re clicking.

If the candidate wants to know the hiring authority’s exact level of interest they can give them a call. They have his number from the extensive list of hiring authorities we generate on their behalf.
