19 years ago, we started with one belief: outplacement should actually work.
The story.
We've watched the outplacement industry sell HR buyers a checkbox for two decades. Templates and five hours of coaching. Programs designed to look good on a vendor evaluation, not to actually place people.
We built something different — a methodology tested across 10,000+ placements, refined every year for 19 years, and now powered by AI. Our coaches are in-house experts, trained and developed within FirstSourceTeam to master every step of the process.
The result: a 5.0 rating across 174 Google reviews. Not because we asked for it. Because the system works.

Our coaches.
Our coaches are in-house experts, trained and developed within FirstSourceTeam. They know our IMPACT methodology inside and out because they've lived it — coaching thousands of professionals through career transitions and refining the process with every placement.
Every coach works alongside CareerIQ, our AI platform. The combination of deep process expertise and AI-powered tools is what produces a 5.0 participant rating across 174 reviews.
