Following are a few notes we've received from organizations that found our services useful.
As the Director of Human Resources at Cerus Corporation, a mid-size biotechnology/medical device company, I hired PowerTransitions to partner with us in conducting a reduction in force and providing outplacement services to impacted employees.
I consistently received very positive feedback from former employees who used their services. Some employees said that they valued their outplacement assistance from PowerTransitions more than their severance pay!
Former employees especially liked that there wasn't a time limit placed on their outplacement services. I was particularly impressed by PowerTransitions' flexibility and willingness to customize programs to meet the needs of our former employees who have a very scientific background in the biotech industry.
We had previously used a very large national outplacement firm and did not receive the level of service or guidance from the firm that we expected. PowerTransitions' ideal size enables them to build personal rapport with companies and the employees who use their services, rather than giving the feeling that you are just one of many.
The goodwill that we created with employees as a result of hiring PowerTransitions has been very helpful as we stabilize the company and build toward the future. I will definitely hire PowerTransitions again should we need their help in the future!

For over 3 years, I have had the opportunity to offer the services of the outplacement professionals at PowerTransitions. The people referred to them have benefited from their excellent, wide range of non-traditional services and programs.
Through their participation, our former employees received invaluable assistance as they transitioned to the next stage of their life.
