Executive Outplacement Services for Senior Leaders
Senior transitions are rarely a conventional job search. Chiumento provides confidential, personalised outplacement for directors, C-suite executives and senior managers leaving through redundancy or a negotiated exit.
We create a hand-picked support team around each executive, helping them position their experience, activate the right networks and make a confident next move- whether that means another leadership role, a portfolio career, NED work, consultancy or retirement.
How Executive Outplacement Differs
Senior executives typically face fewer advertised opportunities, longer search times and greater scrutiny of their reputation, leadership narrative and market positioning. Progress often depends on trusted networks and relationships with executive search firms rather than conventional applications.
Our Executive programme responds to those challenges with senior-level coaching and specialist support for personal branding, networking and alternative career paths- including portfolio careers, NED roles, consultancy, business creation and retirement.
A trusted partner for sensitive senior exits
A senior departure can involve complex circumstances, internal scrutiny and significant reputational considerations. You need to know the individual will receive credible, confidential support and that the process will be straightforward for your HR team to manage.
Chiumento provides a discreet, carefully coordinated transition from initial referral through to the executive’s next move.
Discreet and confidential
The executive receives a trusted, confidential space to explore their options, refine their positioning and make informed decisions about what comes next.
Credible senior support
We hand-match each executive with a coach whose background, sector experience and approach reflect their seniority and objectives. Specialist advisers can be added where required.
Straightforward for HR
A member of our senior leadership team oordinates referral, onboarding and programme setup. We prepare the necessary materials, brief relevant colleagues and keep the process clear from the outset.
Support beyond another corporate role

What our Executive Outplacement delegates say about us…
The support and expertise from Chiumento was excellent. My coach helped in the networking process by connecting me to the executive search community as well as providing meaningful advice on how to maintain my profile through regular updates on platforms such as LinkedIn. All in all, a very comprehensive service, professionally delivered.
I recently worked with Chiumento while onboarding into a leadership role in a new company. Chiumento helped me identify key stakeholders, diagnose quick wins and strategic imperatives, and map priorities and personalities to set me up for success. This support gave me the confidence to have critical conversations early in the onboarding process, leading to better inter-departmental alignment and productivity.

Executive Outplacement FAQ
Q: What is Executive Outplacement?
A: Executive outplacement is a form of outplacement tailored to directors, senior managers, and C-suite leaders. Unlike standard programmes, it recognises the unique challenges of senior transitions, such as reputation, networking at board level, or career pivots. It combines one-to-one coaching, strategic positioning, and brand support to help leaders move forward with clarity and confidence.
Q: What is the cost of Executive Outplacement services?
A: Executive outplacement costs depend on the programme length, level of coaching, specialist support required and the executive’s objectives. Chiumento creates a tailored recommendation after discussing the individual’s seniority, circumstances and intended next step. Contact us for a confidential recommendation and quotation.
Q: Are your Executive Outplacement services suitable for non-executive delegates?
A: While the final choice of programme is up to you, we wouldn’t reccommend our Executive Outplacement programme for those who are not at a very senior level. We have a full portfolio of Outplacement Services that are designed to fit differing needs. We’re always happy to talk through our offering if you’ve like to give us a call on +44 20 7224 3307 or email info@chiumento.co.uk.
Q: How is a Coach selected for Executive Outplacement support?
A: We hand-match each Executive with a Coach based on their seniority, career goals, sector experience, and personal preferences.
Our matching process ensures the Coach brings both the credibility and the specific expertise needed to support high-level transition.
All of our Executive Coaches have extensive experience working with C-suite and senior leaders, and we prioritise strong chemistry and trust from the outset. Where helpful, we can also arrange an introductory call before fully assigning the coach.
Q: What if an Executive wants to change the direction of their career?
A: We regularly support Executives who are looking to make significant career pivots, whether that’s moving into a new sector, starting a consultancy, launching a business, or transitioning into portfolio work.
Our Coaches work closely with each individual to explore new possibilities, test assumptions, and build a practical plan for a successful change. We combine strategic guidance with hands-on support to help them reframe their story and build credibility in a new direction.
If your Executive is looking to change direction but is staying within your organisation, our new career coaching programme, Executive Directions is designed specifically to support strategic career moves within your business.
Q: What Executive-specific support do you offer within Executive Outplacement?
A: Outplacement at a senior level is very different and requires a different approach and at times very specific help and advice.
For our Executive Outplacement delegates we have experts available that can help with retirement planning, all aspects of starting a business or help those that wish to take on a NED role. We are also able to offer international support via our global partnership with Arbora, helping both executives based outside of the UK or delegates that are looking to make an international move.
Q: Can you support a senior individual with securing a NED (Non-Executive Director) role?
A: Yes. Many of our Executive delegates are actively pursuing NED or trustee roles as part of their next chapter. Our Coaches bring deep experience in helping leaders position themselves for board roles, including crafting a strong NED CV, sharpening governance narratives, and navigating the NED market. We also provide insight into how to build visibility and credibility with Executive search firms and board networks.
Q: What resources will Executives have access to?
A: In addition to dedicated 1:1 coaching, Executives receive access to a suite of personalised tools and resources using our Chiumento24 platform, including CV and LinkedIn support, interview preparation, and personal brand building.
Q: Where are your offices?
A: We have been a fully remote working company since 2017. Our Coaches meet delegates remotely or in a location that is convenient to each delegate.
Q: Do you offer retirement planning?
A: Yes. We realise that for some of our Executive delegates, the next step in their career is retirement. We have a full range of retirement advice and planning that helps your Executive Outplacement delegate decide firstly if it is the right decision for them and then how to plan a successful retirement.
