“Our unwavering focus is being the nation’s premier outplacement provider by combining the most contemporary coaches, cutting edge technology, and the broadest range of career support options to meet each candidate where they are at and help take them to where they want to be,” says Maryanne Piña-Frodsham, CEO of CMP.
For over 24 years, CMP has been helping companies manage the challenges of a layoff and redeploy their talent to meet their evolving strategic needs. In doing so, CMP moves quickly and adjusts its programs as needed to operate in alignment with the organization’s unique needs and timing. This client focus and flexibility have led to the industry’s best outcomes in candidate landing rates and client satisfaction. No surprise that CMP has grown to be a national and global outplacement firm and is just getting started as it continues to be one of the nation’s fastest-growing outplacement firms.
Personalized Attention for Candidates
CMP operates with a deep understanding that losing a job is one of life’s most challenging experiences. The entire team is rigorously trained in the company’s proprietary methodology, the Career Victory Path, a six-stage program that guides individuals through every phase of a successful career transition. Each CMP Coach is certified in this approach and receives regular survey feedback, ensuring candidates receive consistent and proven expertise in moving toward a successful outcome.
Beyond providing traditional outplacement services, CMP recognizes that every individual’s situation is unique. CMP Coaches represent the diversity of the populations they serve. CMP Coaches also receive cultural competency training to ensure they are sensitized to each candidate’s unique background and experience.
CMP Coaches are also uniquely accessible. While many firms assign up to 80 candidates to each Coach, CMP Coaches are limited to no more than 25 candidates at any given time. Candidates feel the difference with the most capable and available career coaches in the industry.
Advanced Technology for Successful Career Transition
Complimenting CMP’s High-touch approach is the most contemporary technology with the Career Victory Portal (CVP) - an AI-powered global online portal available in over 30 languages. The CVP provides individuals with 24/7 access to global career transition support, including job search tools, unlimited interview simulation practice, resume and LinkedIn optimization, access to global networking groups and recruiters, mental health resources, real-time access to CMP Coaches, and on-demand training on every phase of a successful career transition. The CVP also provides client organizations with real-time access to candidate activity, milestone metrics and outcome metrics such as landing rates. This ensures client organizations can track their investment and actively manage the risks of a downsizing event.
On-Demand Support for Outplacement
For Human Resource departments, managing reductions in force is demanding and wrought with risk. Whether downsizing is driven by mergers, acquisitions, or internal restructuring, the process is complex and sensitive. CMP operates as an extension of the HR team, ensuring that communications are made legally and respectfully to minimize legal exposure and help protect their employer’s brand and reputation. As part of their unique client support, CMP offers free manager notification training to client organizations.
CMP’s on-demand support helps HR teams, from planning a reduction in force to logistical support. Following the announcements, CMP’s experienced Career Coaches promptly engage with transitioning employees to help them process their emotions and start moving them forward. These Coaches provide support throughout the entire career transition process, helping individuals develop the skills, mindset, and strategies needed for a successful landing.
This hands-on approach has earned CMP the trust and loyalty of its clients, from Fortune 1,000 companies to mid-size and smaller organizations across every industry. Over the past 24 years, CMP has maintained long-lasting relationships with its clients, many of whom return for additional services such as executive search, leadership development, and executive coaching.
