Midian Career Services

A Layoff waS never the plan

The Problem:

Today's economy is challenging. Sometimes, despite your best intentions, you're forced to make decisions you never wanted to make.

Letting go of valued employees is never easy. These are people you've helped grow — and who have helped grow you. Most employers mean well. Most want the best for their people, even in difficult moments.

But even with good intentions, when transitions are rushed or handled without care, employees can feel abandoned. That's when you risk discrimination and wrongful termination claims, damaging Glassdoor reviews, or public stories that spread fast. You risk your brand taking a hit, your remaining team losing trust, and in some cases, lawsuits.

The EEOC processes up to 90,000 workplace discrimination charges annually and secures roughly $700 million in monetary recoveries from employers, with retaliation cited in up to 61% of all filings (EEOC, 2024). For companies planning layoffs, that data is worth taking seriously — not because every separation turns into a claim, but because how a transition is handled shapes how people respond to it.

The Solution:

A thoughtful transition changes the calculus. When employees feel supported — even in departure — they're less likely to lash out or damage your reputation online. They remember being treated like people, not line items. That protects your brand, your culture, and your legal exposure. Treating people humanely and equipping them to land well isn't just ethical — it's a prudent risk tool, reducing the likelihood of retaliation, reputational damage, and disruption to those who remain.

More than that, it gives your people a real chance to land well. And that's something you can feel good about.

Our Approach:

Our approach is Human-Centered. Before we talk about resumes or LinkedIn, we ask: "What is actually going on with you?" We are humans dealing with humans. From there, we build a plan.

Our recent clients include a Florida-based agribusiness leader and a national charter school network.

One principal advisor + one HR Business Partner. No portals. No AI templates.

A Legal & Reputational Shield:

Here is something many employers don't realize: when a separation agreement includes outplacement support, it creates a documented record of good faith. That does not guarantee immunity from lawsuits, but it is powerful evidence that you treated your people with dignity — something courts and the public take seriously in the event that you are sued.

Even without a formal agreement, offering outplacement support after a layoff signals to your employees that you care about them. That helps protect your brand, your remaining team's trust, and your ability to hire in the future. A strong reason why our industry exists.

What each employee receives

-One-on-One career strategy session – Goals + customized search plan

When we're done, each employee walks away with a sharper resume, a visible LinkedIn profile, and a clear path forward — not just leads, but confidence.

We're built for cohorts of 5–25 employees. Larger groups? We'll stagger or scale.

How Our Program Works

Helping your employees land well doesn't happen by accident. It takes a real strategy and personalized support for each person. That's why our process is designed to give your team the tools and guidance they need to navigate the job market with confidence — while you focus on running your business.

Here's the process:

1. Discovery

We start with a 30‑minute conversation — no pressure, just listening. We'll ask about your team, the layoff timeline, and how your employees are doing. Then we recommend strategies built for your specific situation. Every one is different. We build the plan around yours with respect to your timelines.

2. Partner & Launch

Once you are ready, we prepare for the launch phase. This includes a ready-to-send email for your leadership to forward. You send it to your team. That's it on your end.

We follow up directly with each interested employee — scheduling, questions, next steps.

You don't manage a thing.

3. Engagement

Each employee meets with us privately. We learn their target role, review their current resumé and LinkedIn, and build a search strategy that includes a curated list of relevant job openings. We help them understand their market value, clarify which roles to pursue, establish a cadence, and prep them for interviews.

4. Additional Support

We support clients from initial onboarding up until they land their new role. This includes frequent engagements during the beginning stages of the search to facilitate momentum and ultimate success.

PRICING & LOGISTICS

Pricing is per employee, with volume discounts and flat team fees available. No long-term contracts. You pay only for the employees you support.

Real Results. Real Speed

"We had an immediate layoff and needed someone who could move fast — not in weeks, but in days. Titus discussed strategy, logistics, and pricing with us up front, then delivered a plan we could execute almost immediately. No hassle. No delays. Just a streamlined process when we needed it most."

— Brenda Sumpter, HR Director

“I decided to work with Midian after 2-3 weeks of job hunting after I had been laid off......I saw immediate results my first week using their strategies and ended up securing the position I currently have. Titus genuinely cares about how you are doing in the process, and I really appreciated his check-ins to support me. I highly recommend Midian to anyone needing career support.”

—Lisa Sanderson, Technology Sales Director

“Titus is an amazing career coach! I had the opportunity to work with him during my career transition. He is exceptional with guiding clients to finding dream jobs. Titus is truly reliable, thoughtful and supportive and has played an instrumental part in perfecting my interview skills and rebranding. I highly recommend Midian Career Services for individuals seeking career transitions."

Sharon Alexander, Global Client Success Executive

“I highly recommend Titus, he is an excellent professional. He was very assertive in all the changes he proposed to my branding. He also helped me by doing interviews, just like a real interview would be. After his advice, I managed to be contacted and interviewed by several companies. And finally, I was hired by a business consulting firm. I thank Titus for the support he gave me at that time.”

—Antonio Jiminez, CFO

A job well done—I would absolutely recommend Midian to anyone looking to present themselves to the professional world. They are patient, thorough, and easy to work with.”

For Executives

Supporting a departing executive — or navigating the transition yourself?

Whether you're an organization helping a senior leader exit well, or an executive between roles and ready to move on your terms — the right support makes all the difference.

Landing at the executive level takes more than a polished resume. It takes positioning, a strategy built around the roles you actually want, and someone in your corner for the long haul — not just the first week. This program is designed to support you for six months, with the coaching and strategy to help you be successful. We have worked with executives from organizations such as Amazon, Visa, NASA, McKinsey, and more.

Call for details — we'll walk you through the specifics and what fits your situation.

Bonus

We offer something additional but this one is a secret!

Employer outplacement?

If your former employer offers outplacement support, ask HR whether they'll cover your cost. We partner with companies and can invoice them directly.

The Story Behind MiDian

My journey into career transition work began at a university Workforce Solutions Division, helping professionals rethink their careers and education strategy. That's where I learned how smart, capable people get stuck — not because they lack talent, but because they lack a clear path forward.

My next pivotal moment was as a manager in the behavioral health education space, where I handled a divisional layoff for the first time as a leader — and felt the emotional and business realities that it came with it.

Now I help companies execute layoffs with care.

I lead the strategy. My HR Business Partner ensures nothing falls through the cracks. We move fast because we're both hands-on.

No ego. Just strategy and results.

--Titus
