Restructuring & Transitions
When someone has to leave, how you treat them is seen by everyone who stays. Most outplacement budgets get spent on the few people at the top. Altavise builds the whole program on a platform every departing employee gets, then adds senior advisor time by level, so the person on the frontline is supported too.
Why it matters
Departing employees talk. They post, they review you on Glassdoor, and they tell the people you are trying to keep. The usual arrangement gives the executives a coach and everyone else a login, and everyone in the building works out which group they were in.
It also works. The faster a departing person lands, the shorter your severance exposure and the warmer the relationship stays. Our lowest package is $499, which is roughly what a legacy provider charges for a portal and a phone number, and a certified resume writer still approves every document that goes out under it.

What changes by level
Outcomes
Progress reviewed every day, with one concrete action attached, keeps momentum through the weeks when motivation is the thing that fails. That shortens your severance exposure at the same time.
People leave feeling respected, and they say so, to their networks and on the review sites where your future candidates are looking. How you treat the people you let go is the clearest signal to the ones you keep.
At $499 for the entry package you can afford to enroll everyone, which is usually the difference between a program the whole company sees and one that quietly applies to the top two levels.
What's included
The platform is identical in all four packages and a certified resume writer approves every document before it reaches the person. What changes as the level rises is how much one-to-one time with a senior advisor is included, and how long the support runs.
Nothing goes out unread. A certified resume writer approves the resume, the LinkedIn profile, the cover letter and the thank-you note before the person ever sees them.
A senior advisor builds the plan with them: the right next role, and a focused target list of companies, titles and industries actually worth their time.
A resume rewritten to win callbacks in an applicant-tracking world, plus cover letters that get read instead of skimmed.
A profile rebuilt to surface in recruiter searches and tell a clear, confident story to the people doing the hiring.
AI interview practice from day one in every package. From Coached upward they also sit down with a senior advisor to prepare for the roles actually in front of them.
Live help at the moment the money is decided, which often recovers more than the program itself costs.
A targeted networking approach, because roles at this level are rarely filled from job boards. Warm introductions into our network from Coached upward.
A consistent online story across resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio that stands up to a recruiter's second look.
Live matching against who is actually hiring, with applications tracked so nothing quietly stalls.
Their progress is reviewed every day, coming back with one specific thing to do that day. That is what keeps momentum through the hardest stretches.
References, portfolios, work samples, and the admin of a job search, handled so nothing quietly stalls.
Notification training and on-the-day guidance for the people delivering the news, priced separately from the per-person packages.
Manager Notification Training →By level
Essentials, $499 for 60 days. The full platform, with a certified writer approving every document, at a price that lets you cover everyone rather than a shortlist.
Guided, $999 for 90 days. Adds a job search strategy session with a senior advisor and a targeted networking approach, because these roles are rarely filled from job boards.
Coached, $1,899 for 120 days. Three sessions with a senior advisor, including live salary negotiation help, plus warm introductions into our network.
Executive, at $5,500, running until they land. A dedicated advisor rather than a shared bench, all four sessions, and board and investor introductions.
How it works
Before anyone is told, we help you plan the message, timing, and logistics, so the day itself is handled with care and consistency.
You send a roster and everyone on it is enrolled the same day, so support starts when the shock is freshest and it matters most.
Goals, target roles and a search plan built around their real situation. From Guided upward a senior advisor builds that plan with them rather than handing them a worksheet.
Resume, LinkedIn, and personal brand are rebuilt together into one clear, credible story that gets callbacks.
Their progress is reviewed every day and comes back with one specific thing to do that day. Outreach, applications and interviews stay tracked so nothing quietly stalls.
Offer negotiation and the move into the new role. Support runs 60, 90 or 120 days by package, and at Executive level it runs until they land rather than to a date.
Built to fit
The program flexes to the situation. A single sensitive executive departure gets the same care as a company-wide reduction, and there is no minimum headcount to clear before we will run one.
The program runs virtually across the country, so a distributed workforce gets the same support wherever people sit. For larger events we can be on-site the day of, and we blend group workshops with each person’s own program so the economics work at scale without going impersonal.

Outplacement is career transition support a company provides to employees it is letting go: professionally built resume and LinkedIn materials, a structured job-search plan, interview and salary-negotiation help, and senior advisor time where the level warrants it. It helps departing people land their next role faster and protects the employer brand you leave behind.
Per departing employee, across four packages by level: Essentials at $499, Guided at $999, Coached at $1,899, and Executive at $5,500. Volume discounts apply automatically from five people. You do not have to ask us for a number: the outplacement pricing calculator on this site works it out, including whether a Standby retainer would actually save you money or not.
It depends on level and headcount, which is exactly why we published a calculator instead of hiding a number. Price a program by headcount and level and get a fixed quote back, with no form to fill in first.
