Outplacement / Transitional Services
The current economy has forced many Companies to face budget decisions that result in staff reduction(s). This can be one of the most challenging tasks a Company will encounter. Platinum Solutions offers services and resources to support both Management and Staff whether you are downsizing 1 or 1,000 employees.
- These services are designed to assist a Candidate during a very challenging time in their life. Platinum Solutions can provide the Job Search tools needed to get them back to work sooner than they could on their own.
- Not only do employees appreciate the fact that you care enough to assist them in a tough time but these services can in many cases pay for themselves in the reduced unemployment expenses your Company would otherwise have to pay.
Planning how and when to communicate serious employment decisions to employees is never easy. Platinum Solutions is committed to helping you through these steps no matter where you are in the process. Contact us to discuss topics including:
- Ways to minimize the impact on employees

Retained & Contingency Searches
Retained Searches
Our Retained Search is one of the most effective ways to get your position filled and generally in the shortest period of time. We only accept a limited number of assignments in order to give each one full attention. Our firm will perform a thorough search and personally interview and screen each Candidate face-to-face. Upon written request and on your behalf, we will verify and/or check the following:
- Background
- Education
- Prior Employment
- References
While there is an upfront investment for a retained search, this type of search has proven to produce the best results.
Contingency Searches
Our Contingency search is a more traditional type of search. Many of our Clients use this approach to help with the following:
- Assist in determining your current personnel needs
- Identify what Candidates are currently “on the market”
- Screen Candidates
- Eliminate non-qualified Candidates
- Negotiate salary directly with the Candidate
With this search, there is rarely any expense to you (our Client) until a Candidate accepts your offer of employment.
Temporary / Contract-to-Hire Placements
More and more businesses are establishing long-term relationships with Platinum Solutions to ensure they will have rapid access to a safe and low risk means of coping with:
- An unexpected peak in work
- The planned/unplanned absence of key personnel
- The urgent need for specialized skills
This service not only allows our Clients to optimize their day-to-day activities and cope with any staffing fluctuations, but can also save them money on payroll, benefits and unemployment expenses.
Temporary
Whether it’s for a short-term assignment, long-term project or a strategic business objective, Platinum Solutions is your trusted partner. Our proven recruitment, assessment and selection process means we will not only find you the number of Candidates you need quickly, but we will also find you the right Candidate(s). You will have the flexibility to staff up or down quickly.
Contract-to-Hire
This is an attractive method for many of our Clients to find the right Candidate before making a long-term commitment. The Candidate is brought in-house as a consultant who is actually employed by Platinum Solutions but works for you, with the understanding that a direct-hire position may become available in the future.
If our Clients do not yet have the signatures or approvals needed to bring on an additional employee, this is a popular method used until the paperwork is completed. It allows our Clients to receive the benefits of ongoing productivity while evaluating the Candidate's long-term potential with your team.
Direct Hire / Permanent Placements
With this service the Candidate actually becomes a direct-hire employee of our Client. We realize that hiring the RIGHT PERSON for your Company is critical! Platinum Solutions offers immediate access to one of the largest inventories of pre-screened Candidates in the industry! We have a proven track record of placing exceptional Candidates in a variety of markets and at all levels of experience.
