Outplacement Transition Services

For nearly 20 years, we’ve performed a critical role in the successful outplacement of thousands of workers, professionals and business leaders in job transition locally and nationally. Our reputation for high-touch service, sound advice, creative strategies, clever ideas and valuable connections is unsurpassed in the Twin Cities market.

Our clients like us because we are a boutique firm. We give comprehensive one-on-one, face-to-face service. We believe strongly in the importance of coaching leadership, consultative service, meaningful dialogue, and collegial interaction. We’re known for tackling tough issues and inspiring clients to achieve what many might before have thought impossible.

We begin outplacement by helping you think through what is happening. We talk about early strategies likely to be helpful during this time and learn what ideas you may already be considering. As you work through this change, we work with you to develop a future picture that focuses your career and guides your pursuit. We’ll refine your job search skills ensuring you have a resume and introductory letter that reflect the best of who you are and what you have to offer; you’ll become a master at understanding your personal brand and presenting yourself in the job interview. Once we light the path, we’ll connect you with people and places in our community that will accelerate getting you where you want to go. And, of course, we’ll be there to coach you along the way.

Contact us for a comprehensive proposal which customizes our process to your targeted outplacement application.

Trudy Canine and her firm, Pathfinder, have been great to work with during the past 10+ years. She has the most compassionate approach in dealing with people in difficult situations/transitions that I have ever seen. A definite match with the Toro Culture of always treating people with respect. Toro is a company with very low turnover…when people join us they want to stay. Unfortunately (infrequently) changes in business occur requiring the need for outplacement support. Trudy treats every person like a family member. She truly cares about individual needs and is there to ensure dignity throughout the entire process. A person transitioning recently told me Trudy was a God send. I think that pretty well sums it up. I would highly recommend contacting and utilizing Pathfinder if you are ever in need of dignified outplacement support service.
