What are the different services and programs offered by Kelleher Associates?

These services are offered at four program levels: (1) Senior Executive, (2)
Executive, (3) Managerial
and Professional, and (4) Group Workshops.
What are the key elements of the different services and programs?
The key elements of the career transition/outplacement services are separation agreement finalization,
assessment (including psychological, skills, interests, values, and motivation), resume building, marketing training, interviewing training, offer evaluation and negotiation, office support, networking strategy and meetings, and 1:1 consultations to implement.
The key elements of the executive mentoring program are situation summary development, issue assessment and analysis, design and execution of skill building plan, and 1:1 consultations to implement.
The key elements of the leadership development plan are intelligence testing and assessment, decision making, strategy development, problem solving, emotional intelligence measurement and assessment, empowerment and accountability implementation, interpersonal relationship assessment and improvement, and team building, and 1:1 and group consultations to implement.
The Senior Executive transition program includes a private office, dedicated office equipment, and direct secretarial support and is targeted to
“C” level executives, usually vice president and above.
The Executive transition program includes full internet and research library access and full use of Kelleher Associates support staff and is targeted to
director level, department heads, and key functional managers.
The Professional transition program includes full internet and research library access and full use of Kelleher Associates support staff and is targeted to professionals such as attorneys, accountants, and consultants.
Group Workshops serve 8-10 people at a time and consist of a two-day, focused program to provide training in job objective development, search strategies, resume and cover letter preparations, and interview training. These workshops are targeted at lower level management, plant employees, administrative staff, and other non-exempt personnel.

How Are Kelleher Associates Services Different From Other Outplacement Firms?
Kelleher Associates is distinguished by customized and intimate service and continuous 1:1 consultations for all but group workshops, low principal to client ratios (1:15 to 1:20 versus
1:40 to 1:60 for "national" firms), and experienced principals with deep line and human resource backgrounds. In addition clients have access to all of our principals to make the best use of their program resources.
What Are Your Prices?
We don't publish prices for three reasons. First, because each program is literally tailored to the needs of the individual client, a generic price quote is inappropriate. Second, we don't publish prices for competitive reasons. Third, we take all factors into account, including client resources, before determining a price for our services. We are open and available to discuss a program that fits your needs and is prudently and competitively priced.

Do You Help People Get Jobs?
We need to clarify up front that we are not an executive search firm or a personnel agency. We work with and help our clients develop efficient and effective campaigns to secure their next career position. Part of how we do our job is to help our clients work with executive search firms and other resources, but we don't guarantee a job for our clients. We provide the
tools. The success of the search is highly dependent on how hard (and smart)
the client works, his or her willingness to collaboratively develop and execute a job search campaign, and the proficiency and quality of
his or her contact development (often termed personal networking).
Are You A Recruiting Firm?
We are not a recruiting or executive search firm. We do not receive fees from a hiring company when a placement is made. We do help our clients work with executive recruiters who are often associated with helping our clients find their next position.

Do I Have To Be Company Sponsored To Secure Services From Kelleher Associates?
While we encourage all prospective clients to make a strong effort to secure financial support for our services from a current or previous employer, a client certainly may work with Kelleher Associates and pay for the services themselves. We often suggest to our clients, both corporate-sponsored and those that personally pay for services, that the fees we charge for career consulting services compare favorably to similar fees paid for medical, legal, accounting, insurance, and financial services.

Qualifications Of Your Principals?

How Long
Will It Take Before I Have A Job?
Each client's situation is different and, therefore, we can't predict the duration of any individual's campaign. The length of time for a search is dependent on how hard (and smart)
a client works, their willingness to collaboratively develop and execute a job search campaign, and the proficiency and quality of their contact development (often termed personal networking). In our experience the most significant independent variables determining length of campaign are age and geographic openness/restrictions. Compensations level, per se, is less significant than many may think.

What Resources Will Your Firm Offer To Me?
In addition to the senior principals of the firm who work with all of our clients on a 1:1 basis, as a client you will have use of office space which is dependent on your program level, administrative support (also program level specific), word processing, telephone answering services and usage, personal on-site voicemail, targeted letters to recruiters and hiring companies, use of
office equipment, high speed internet access, a complete library, and access to internal and external networking meetings.
Can you provide me with
client references?
Absolutely. After you have met at least one of our principals at our offices for an initial meeting where we can better understand your needs, we will be happy to provide you with current and former client references whose profile comes closest to your own.
