The Challenge
The clock starts the day people are let go.
In 2026, the average job search lasts 6.6 months. Don't make your departing staff wait weeks more for their first coaching appointment.
20 interviews
To fill a single role
Employers made hiring slower and more selective. Time-to-fill is up 24% since 2021 to 42 days per role, and a single opening can take around 20 interviews to close. Run that gauntlet across dozens of applications and the months add up.
$7.5K
Cost per person exited
Full-service outplacement often costs up to $7,500 per person, a level most employers cannot extend to every role. Agencies get squeezed on the same math when a client wants coverage without the enterprise invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from agencies and HR
Who is this for?
Outplacement firms that need a delivery stack people will actually use, and HR teams that want to run career transition in-house instead of sending every layoff to a national vendor.
How is this different from Teal or a chatbot?
Those tools are for one person working alone. RS Works is what you hand to the people you are exiting, with writing trained on 10,000+ real resumes, not a generic prompt.
Does this replace the coach or the HR partner?
No. It takes resume and letter prep off the calendar so the conversation can be about the search, the offer, and what happens next.
What have employers seen?
Chicago DPH supported 280 employees in transition in-house, at more than 80% below typical outplacement cost. People rated the resumes and cover letters highly.
How is it priced?
Three coach-led tiers matched to employee level, entry-level, professional, and executive, from $899 per person. Teams that want the tools without coaching can use a self-serve six-month plan from $279. No minimum commitment. Traditional outplacement runs $2,000 to $7,500 or more per person, so most employers can extend RS Works to every role they exit, not only the senior ones. Book a short call and we will build a custom quote for your department.
How fast can we get started?
Most teams are live in three to five days, including access for the people in transition. A layoff announced on Monday can have usable resumes and interview practice in front of people by the end of the week.
Ready to Rethink Outplacement?
If you sell outplacement, this is a stack your clients' people will open. If you are HR, it is a way to support a layoff without waiting on a national vendor.
