A layoff is hard enough. Support shouldn't be the hard part.
Real one-on-one coaching for every departing employee, priced for companies that cannot justify enterprise outplacement firm rates. Protect morale, reduce risk, and give people leaving a genuinely better landing than a templated portal.
The gap between expensive and effective.
Large outplacement firms price smaller layoffs out of the market. The affordable alternative is usually a login and a template library. area|Talent sits in the middle: targeted, human, and built for a 10 to 100 person layoff, not a Fortune 500 one.
What you would pay elsewhere, per employee.
Enterprise outplacement firms price for Fortune 500 contracts. Your layoff is smaller, and your bill should be too.
Three tiers. Priced per employee.
Every tier includes a targeted resume rewrite and LinkedIn optimization. The difference is how much 1:1 coaching time and ongoing support each employee gets.
Foundation Transition
A solid, targeted starting point for employees who need core materials and one focused coaching session.
- Targeted resume rewrite
- LinkedIn profile optimization
- 1 coaching session (45 minutes)
Core Transition
The recommended default for most layoffs. More coaching time and a 30-day safety net for follow-up questions.
- Targeted resume rewrite
- LinkedIn profile optimization
- 2 coaching sessions
- 30-day email support
Pro Transition
Extended coaching across 90 days with priority scheduling. Best suited for senior or director-level employees in a mixed-level layoff group.
- Targeted resume rewrite
- LinkedIn profile optimization
- 4 coaching sessions over 90 days
- Priority scheduling
Volume pricing.

A clear, low-effort process for your team. We handle the coordination so HR is not managing logistics on top of everything else.
We confirm scope and timeline together.
You share headcount, levels, and target dates. We confirm tiers per employee or group and lock in pricing.
Your team gets a simple enrollment link.
Each affected employee receives a short, private intake so they can get started without HR relaying information back and forth.
Employees work directly with their coach.
Resume, LinkedIn, and scheduled coaching sessions happen one-on-one, on the employee's own time.
You get a simple completion summary.
No personal coaching details shared. Just confirmation that each employee's program is underway or complete.
Questions HR teams usually ask.
If your situation does not fit neatly into these answers, reach out and we will walk through it together.
Most engagements can begin within a few business days of signing on, even for layoffs already in motion.
No. Many companies mix tiers by level, giving Pro Transition to senior or director-level employees and Foundation or Core to the rest.
Reach out for a custom quote. Large-scale layoffs and executive-only groups are scoped individually outside the standard tiers.
Your dedicated coach and our team coordinate scheduling and delivery directly with each employee, so HR is not managing the logistics.
