Career transition and managementFAQ

FAQ

What types of career transition programs are offered?

Individual programs that may vary in length from one month to an unlimited period of time. Two-day, job search workshops are also being offered.

What distinguishes you from other firms?

Our approach is highly-personalized and suited to the candidate’s specific needs. Dynamic and results-oriented, the services are delivered on a one-on-one basis. Each person is partnered with a consultant with whom they work throughout their job search process.

What is the consulting team?

The consulting team is made up of permanent, full-time employees. All have extensive business and consulting experience.

How does technology contribute to the job search process?

Unlike some firms where technology is the key component of the job search services, at Raymond Chabot Human Resources, technology is a tool that supplements our personalized approach.

What is the candidate/consultant ratio (%)?

It is difficult to establish an exact figure with regards to the number of candidates per consultant, since there are a number of criteria that could influence this figure. On the other hand, each consultant’s workload allows them to be very available, both for the candidate and the organizational client, so as to ensure maximum availability, accessibility and to see to it that client service is not affected.

Do you have experience with plant closings/major downsizing initiatives?

We have managed a number of initiatives that have simultaneously impacted several hundreds of employees, both plant workers and executives alike.

Do you work with all hierarchy levels?

Our consultants have the experience and expertise needed to provide support to employees regardless of their hierarchy level. Since we use a personalized approach, the consultant is able to adapt the approach to the candidate’s needs, as opposed to using a group approach.

Do you have experience in our industry?

We have provided support to both big and small businesses operating in every industry.

Do you have offices across Canada?

Through a network of collaborators, we can provide career transition services in every province across Canada.

Do you provide services in both official languages?

All our consultants are bilingual and our instructional material is also available in both languages.

Do you introduce candidates to potential employers?

Those who make that assertion do not follow-up on their promise. Along with the candidate, we define/establish a market approach strategy geared to his/her career objectives and we identify and train the person on the best techniques for penetrating the job market. At a candidate’s discretion, we post their curriculum vitae on our Web site, which features a candidate database that is accessible to employers.

Could you tell me where the job openings are?

Both recruiters and a number of companies notify us about job openings and a list of job opening for candidates is posted on our site. Our knowledge of the market also makes it possible for us to determine those industries that are most active in hiring.

Could you provide me with support in a career change process?

Through a career reflection process (interview, career reflection binder, tests, etc.) we identify the environment, context, and type of position suited to the individual, in addition to evaluating the entrepreneurship option and guiding the person towards the achievement of personal objectives.
