Who are we?

We are the team that is going to help you transform your future.

Careers Launch provides talent search and outplacement support for companies needing to fill critical roles or provide impacted employees with outplacement services. Our team has a unique blend of experience across multiple industries and geographies.

We have worked on the internal side of Talent Acquisition and the HR side of difficult business decisions. We know what good looks like. We understand what hiring managers expect in finding top talent for their roles, and we also understand what best practices look like when impacting an employee population through job loss.

We believe our field experience – combined with our ability to deliver top-tier candidates while providing excellent customer service – differentiates us from the rest.

Our leadership

Meet the people behind the work.

We have over 150 years of combined experience. Let us help you find your next teammate!
