Average Time to Land During Outplacement: 12 Weeks

The average time to land during outplacement can range from a quick placement to a long job search. This is because every single participant is unique, has varying skill levels, wants different things in life and work, and requires different levels of support.

For some, the outplacement process might boil down to landing any new role in the same position at an outside company, for example. For others, they may use this transitional period to really explore their wants and needs by making a complete career change into a new position or even starting their own business. 

Because of all of these varying factors, the average time to land during outplacement needs to be turned from a time-focused question into an outcome-focused question. At Careerminds, we work with participants until they land their next role, which means that no matter how long it takes, we’ll be there, at no additional cost to the client. 

This method of outplacement means that participants have the freedom to pursue their interests, take bigger swings, and eventually land a new, meaningful role. Finding a job to have a job is one thing. Finding the ideal next job that ticks all of a participant’s boxes is another. And it’s what we strive to do each and every day. We typically find that participants land within 12 weeks, give or take their needs.

In conclusion, the average time to land during outplacement is solely dependent on the needs of the participant. Either way, long or short, we will be here supporting them along the way.
