Outplacement

We support leaders in transition situations with our “New Path for Leaders” – Executive Outplacement concept. Our coaching begins with initial assessments. In a deep interview, we explore with the leader their personal overall situation and future goals, aiming to understand the value base guiding decision-making and achieving the person’s holistic well-being.

Through discussions, personal assessments, and other methods supporting the individual’s strengths, we identify the leader’s strengths, motivation, and find a new direction. This forms a strong foundation for the job search process, which we support from start to finish with simulated job interviews, our own networking events, LinkedIn optimization, and CV refinement. A dedicated SAM coach supports you throughout the entire process. Together we will find the best new direction.

Leader's first 100 days – Do you have the right onboarding program?

We encourage adding leadership coaching at the end of the executive search process, as the first 100 days are crucial for a leader’s engagement. We believe Finnish working life should be led so that every new leader has a coach to guide them in their new role as a sparring partner.

Professional leadership coaches Maarit Tiililä, Sari Ajanko, and Anitta Niemelä offer the Leader’s First 100 Days program

The key during the leader’s first 100 days is to ensure: what is expected of the leader, the organization’s situation and strengths, and how to get people involved in building a common direction for the future.

”We have now completed projects with SAM and definitely want to continue our collaboration. The projects have been high-quality and well-managed, resulting in successful recruitments. SAM stood out from previous assignments with their speed and excellent communication. We are extremely satisfied overall. SAM has made a great effort in challenging the headhunting field. I have been very positively surprised by how closely and yet qualitatively the headhunting and recruitment process can be managed – we have hired very suitable candidates after SAM’s 6-week process. I did not believe this was possible, but it was!”
