DALLAS – At a time when recession fears are driving concerns about corporate
layoffs, RiseSmart <http://www.risesmart.com/> – the $100K+ jobs site that
conducts personalized job searches on behalf of its members – today unveiled
RiseSmart Transition Management Services, a new outplacement offering for
corporate clients.
RiseSmart bridges the gap between traditional job boards and the personal
attention of a career coach by providing a RiseSmart Concierge – a trained
HR professional – to help members with their job searches. Through
RiseSmart Transition Management Services, the company now makes RiseSmart
Concierge service available to corporate clients.
“While many companies going through layoffs are generous in providing office
space, the use of computer equipment, and other support services to their
affected employees, the element of transition management that is most
important to workers is outplacement – finding a new job,” says Sanjay
Sathe, RiseSmart founder and CEO.
“ RiseSmart Transition Management Services
<http://www.risesmart.com/risesmart/transitionManagement.jsp> is the one
offering on the market that provides laid-off managers and executives with
the assistance of a RiseSmart Concierge -- an HR professional who conducts
their online job search for them.”
RiseSmart: A Smarter Approach to Outplacement
Through RiseSmart Transition Management Services, corporate clients can
provide RiseSmart Concierge service to transitioning employees at group
discounts and/or as a white-labeled offering.
Here’s how the service works:
1. Transitioning employees provide profile information to RiseSmart.
2. RiseSmart runs each employee’s profile against its million-job database,
producing a preliminary set of search results.
3. A RiseSmart Concierge – a trained HR professional – carefully compares
each employee’s search results against their profile, eliminating poor
matches and presenting only the most relevant job openings.
4. The employee clicks a link to apply for a job.
5. RiseSmart continues to identify new opportunities weekly until employees
find their next jobs – up to one year if necessary.
“White-collar workers who are actively seeking employment typically spend
between 30 and 40 hours per month online,” says Dan Davenport, RiseSmart
co-founder and chief financial officer. “By effectively conducting online
job searches for your transitioning employees, we free them to focus on
networking or other concerns during this always-stressful period.”
