we’re here to answer your questions.

We accept credit cards and PayPal payments to make getting our services as quick and easy as possible. We understand that these two options are not always the best way for companies to pay for services. If you need invoicing, please call 408.436.9100 or contact us here.

Since we are an express service, we’ll process your credit card information immediately so that we can help your employees find a new job fast. Any packages you purchase are available for you to use for up to 12 months after purchase. Once an eligible employee name has been assigned to a purchased package, that package is considered in use.

However, we don’t leave getting started up to program participants. Our proactive outreach program includes a series of phone calls and emails to engage your employees and to explain the benefits of using career transition solutions. You can help improve the ROI on our services by making sure the contact information we have for each of your eligible employees is current and complete.

Yes. You can purchase any number of plans now and add your employee information later. In fact, we give you up to 12 months to provide eligible employee information once you’ve purchased your career transition packages.

If, after your initial investment, you decide to add more employees into the program, simply select additional packages and we’ll get all your qualified employees set up for future success.

Once you select your packages, look through your employee list carefully to match program participants with the appropriate package. We can change which employees receive the package as long as the eligible employees have not been notified of which package they are to receive. We suggest you carefully choose packages, as we are unable to make adjustments to the package level or number of packages your organization has access to once they are purchased.

We have packages and pricing available for every size company in every industry across the globe. Contact us to learn about our Enterprise Level Packages and pricing.

First, all participants have access to our proprietary, patented SmartMatch Engine™ technology which delivers lists of suitable jobs based on the job seeker’s desired roles, companies, and industries, and creates intelligent rankings to help job seekers respond to the most relevant opportunities first.

Secondly, participants receiving Boost, Ignite, and Empower packages have access to a full time personal job sourcer who will provide handpicked and highly relevant job leads based on the job searcher’s own preferences and the criteria most likely to land them the right job.

Finally, all participants in the Boost, Ignite, and Empower packages will be introduced to over 6,500 recruiters actively looking for talent in a variety of industries and locations around the world. This level of exposure is unparalleled in the outplacement industry.

While all our coaches are based in the U.S., our coaching model is location-independent and accessible anywhere and at a time that’s convenient for the job seeker. We match program participants with the best possible coach, based on industry and career goals, not simply by who is within driving distance. RiseSmart program participants can schedule coaching sessions with a click of a button. We’ve made it easier and faster for participants to set, reschedule, or cancel appointments to accelerate the time spent getting market ready and quickly get the guidance they need to succeed.

Our career coaches have 12 years of experience in HR and/or recruiting and 8 years of experience in career coaching on average. We deliver proprietary, International Coach Federation (ICF) certified training and professional development programs to all our coaches on a regular basis. In addition, our coaches hold outside certifications from over 42 different certifying bodies, including CPCC, ACC/PCC/MCC, SHRM, HCRL and more.

All our Professional Resume Writers adhere to Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) best practices, have received specialized training through our proprietary professional development programs. We don’t outsource our resume and branding services, as many outplacement providers do. In addition, all of our resume writers are based in the U.S. and bring many years of experience as human resources and recruiting professionals in a variety of industries and locations around the country.

Our outplacement packages are designed to allow you to choose a package based on your budget as well as the level of experience of your impacted employees. Package descriptions include a suggestion for matching services with an employee’s role, and all our prices are listed up front. How you decide to distribute services is totally up to you.

In addition to our programs for your employees, we offer SmartSessions to help guide you through manager notification training and resiliency training best practices prior to conducting the actual lay off. See Additional services in our feature detail page here.

Not only do participants of RiseSmart career transition programs land new jobs 60% faster than the national average, 83% of those who go through our programs report finding employment that pays at least the same, or better than their previous job. 98% of program participants report satisfaction with our services.
