High quality outplacement is not cheap, however, Thorman Trant offers inexpensive and cost-effective career management solutions for all staff from shop floor to Managing Director that compares favourably with other leading outplacement providers for value for money. Thorman Trant is an international provider of resourcing solutions. We offer recruitment and career management services designed to support our clients in the alignment of their staff plans with their business strategy. Where there is expansion we deliver recruitment and interim management initiatives and, where there is restructuring, downsizing or change, we provide outplacement and career management services. Our clients include multi nationals and SME's. Working with more than 100 Associates in the UK and Western Europe, we have extensive experience across industries and functions. We offer quality services at competitive rates, simply because we do not operate from costly city offices. People create and deliver business strategy. Thorman Trant's purpose is to support this process through three main activities: Resourcing an organisation's needs through Attracting and Selecting the right people. Facilitating change in an organisation's structure and culture through Outplacement and Career Management. Offering Interim Managers to meet both current and future short term needs, or immediate change. Why Thorman Trant is different. We offer an alternative to the large "product" driven consultancies whilst still being able to offer the range of services needed to enable an organisation to maximise the value of its people. We draw upon the resources of over 100 Associates throughout the UK and Western Europe - allowing us to offer the best person for a particular need. Initial analysis, project definition and on-going supervision are provided personally by the directors - limiting our size but guaranteeing our commitment and continuity. Thorman Trant provides bespoke Outplacement and Career Management services to suit client needs. We can help with the planning and implementation of business restructuring, downsizing, site closures and individual release. This includes the provision of training for managers in breaking the news of redundancy, as well as the management of a Resource Centre on site. Such a centre would offer a focal point for staff and provide all the resources needed to carry out a job search. We are also able to advise upon the comparability of terms of severance and separation benefits.

Thorman Trant's team of recruitment specialists have a proven track record in search and selection of exceptional talent capable of driving corporate change. Our recruitment solutions centre on three core services: Executive Search, Advertisement and Selection and Contingency. Thorman Trant's purpose is to find the right candidates for our client's senior and most senior positions. These posts are crucial to the success of their business and search is usually the most effective means of focusing on and selecting the most suitable person. Profound understanding of the sector is key to our success, backed by an excellent network and considerable expertise in sensitively handling senior individuals in powerful positions. Search Methodology:Our clients seek the most appropriate candidate, not necessarily the most available. We recognise such exceptional individuals may not be active in the job market, but with the right information at the right time, some may be willing to discuss attractive career opportunities. When representing our clients in the marketplace our consultants need to be armed with the knowledge to sell their opportunity. Therefore our search process is simple, but methodical, and based on thorough understanding of the client's requirements. Whilst Executive Search is our principal activity, great importance is attached to filling appointments through Advertised Selection. This is a more reactive approach to a recruitment need, which is very effective under certain circumstances. Thorman Trant can construct, design, format and proof advertisements, as well as filter the responses and manage the shortlist. Contingency: As our relationships with clients develop through search experience, we can bring to our clients' attention highly qualified, but rarely available, candidates who we believe are well suited to their organization's needs. All organisations, whatever their size, undergo change. Much of this change can be managed within the organisation through its own resources but, increasingly, many companies are realising that there are circumstances where this can be better effected and achieved through external help. In Thorman Trant's experience, this typically occurs during mergers and acquisitions, sale, disposal or relocation, reorganisation, changes in the law or other external factors. In such situations, Thorman Trant provides Interim Managers and Directors who can help deliver a project or engineer a change before handing over to permanent staff. Increasingly businesses are staffed to meet core needs. When an unexpected requirement arises they turn to outside help - often in the form of Interim Management. Of course, this costs money but Interim Management should be seen as a short term investment which brings about change in a cost effective way, without putting more pressure on existing staff. Interim Managers are: Task oriented, Flexible and experienced, Apolitical, Less inclined to 'do it the way it has always been done here', Able to offer the specific skills the organisation lacks, A means to establishing whether the role should be full time.</div></body>]]>
