CFO Used Outplacement Funds to Work with Endeavor Agency

A Chief Financial Officer (CFO) used the outplacement/severance funds provided by his former employer to work with Endeavor Agency's Outplacement Services for his own career transition.


Client's Outplacement Funds Usable at Endeavor

“We spoke a few years ago,” the CFO said when we visited over a video conference call. “I don’t know if you remember me.”


“Yes, I do,” our business development specialist said. “I believe you took a job with that PE-backed company shortly after we talked.”


“Good memory,” the CFO replied. “While I didn’t need your services then, I believe I do now.”


“How can I help?” he asked.


“My company is being acquired and they are giving me outplacement funds as part of their severance package,” he shared. “Quite frankly, I’m not that impressed with the other options I’ve seen. They mainly just do a few basic things. I know your services go much more in-depth. Can I use that money on your services?”


“Absolutely,” he said. The CFO was familiar with most of the brands in the outplacement space. As a CFO, he selected different ones for various reorganizations he managed. But, when it came time for his unexpected career transition, he wanted more.


It’s great when CFOs and CHROs call us for outplacement help. It’s usually related to them personally or someone they really care about. When the outcomes matter, you want the best. Endeavor Agency specializes in providing outplacement services and job search support for executives, VPs, and senior managers who earn six-figures.
