Starting Monday for Outplacement Firms
Give displaced executives an active search platform, not just workshop content.
The goal is simple: stronger placement momentum with less counselor admin overhead.
Pilot is for evidence and decision, not long-term lock-in.
You might be thinking
This sounds like one more platform to manage. The goal is the opposite: reduce counselor overhead and keep strategy time high.

What Starting Monday is
Starting Monday is an AI-powered search platform built for VP and C-suite executives in active career transition. Pipeline tracking, company intelligence scanning, AI interview prep briefs, daily briefing, and a strategy brief built from their background and target list.
For outplacement firms, it is the operational layer that turns your program into an active campaign. Your counselors provide the strategy and support. Starting Monday provides the infrastructure the executive needs to actually run the search.
In practical terms: one shared view for pipeline, signal movement, and prep readiness so counselors spend less time rebuilding context and more time on strategic coaching.
Why partners buy
Outplacement partners buy outcomes first.
- + More executives taking weekly search actions instead of drifting
- + Better interview readiness before high-stakes conversations
- + Clear cohort-level visibility without manual check-in overhead
- + Stronger client confidence in program progress during transition
The gap it fills
Most outplacement programs are built around workshops, resume reviews, and interview coaching. Those are necessary. But they do not give the executive the daily operational infrastructure to run a modern senior search.
Your executive leaves the program with a revised resume, a revised LinkedIn profile, and a list of best practices. Then they go home and manage their search in a spreadsheet - manually tracking 40 companies, missing signals before roles are posted, preparing for interviews the night before with a ten-minute web search.
The gap between your program and a successful placement is infrastructure. Starting Monday fills it.
How outplacement firms use it
Active Search Infrastructure
Your program graduates executives with a clear understanding of the search process. Starting Monday gives them the platform to actually run it. Pipeline command center, company intelligence scanner, daily briefing, interview prep briefs - it is the operational layer that turns your workshop into an active campaign.
Outcome: Executives leave your program with a running search, not a revised resume and a list of job boards. Your placement outcomes improve. Your client's HR team sees the difference.
Company Intelligence Scanner
The scanner monitors every company an executive is tracking - news, executive departures, funding, 8-K filings, career page postings - every 48 hours. When signals cluster into a pattern that precedes a CIO or VP search, the platform names it and alerts the executive before the role is formalized.
Outcome: Executives reach out to target companies before searches go to firms. That is the window that matters at the senior level. Your program delivers it.
Daily Briefing and Accountability
Every morning, the platform sends each enrolled executive a digest of new signals, pending follow-up actions, and pipeline status. It installs the daily discipline that displaced executives often lose when the structure of employment disappears. No coach or counselor needs to manually check in.
Outcome: Search activity stays consistent between check-ins. Executives who were drifting stay in motion. Your counselors spend time on strategy, not accountability.

Calibrated decision questions
How would you feel if your next cohort had a shared scorecard your counselors and client HR both trusted?
What would need to be true in 30 days for you to consider expansion rational?
Run one 30-day pilot before deciding on broader rollout.
If the pilot does not meet agreed success criteria, you close it cleanly with no expansion commitment.
If the answer after 30 days is no, you keep your governance artifacts and close without pressure.
