A transition partner that understands the DMV
No regional economy turns over talent quite like Washington’s. Contract recompetes, program wind-downs, appropriations changes, association restructurings, and shifting federal priorities mean employers across the District, Northern Virginia, and Suburban Maryland regularly have to part with good people, often on short timelines and always in full view of a tightly networked professional community.
ClearPointHCO gives DMV employers a boutique alternative to the national outplacement firms: per-person programs where every departing employee is matched with a dedicated, U.S.-based career coach. You see published pricing before you commit, order online with no long-term contracts, and get a partner who protects your reputation while genuinely helping your people land their next role.

Washington metro outplacement, explained
Which areas of the Washington, D.C. metro do you serve?
We support employers across the entire DMV, the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia (including Alexandria and Ashburn), and Suburban Maryland (including Rockville, Annapolis, and Baltimore). Programs are delivered virtually by dedicated U.S.-based coaches, so departing employees receive the same premium support wherever they live in the region.
Do you work with federal contractors and government-adjacent employers?
Yes. The D.C. region is our home market for contractor recompetes, program wind-downs, and workforce reductions tied to federal budget and staffing changes. We help government contractors, agencies, associations, and nonprofits transition employees, including senior and security-cleared professionals, with dignity and speed.
How much does outplacement cost for a D.C.-area employer?
Pricing is per person and depends on program level, group size, and duration. There are no account minimums and no long-term contracts — request pricing and we will respond within one business day, including for group events and reductions in force.
Can you support a large reduction in force on short notice?
Yes. Because there are no account minimums, our per-person programs scale from a single executive exit to a company-wide reduction in force. We are in contact the next business day and can begin onboarding quickly once you approve, helpful when a contract ends or a WARN-triggering event is time-sensitive.
Do you help transition executives and security-cleared professionals?
Yes. Our Executive program provides high-touch positioning, resume and LinkedIn development, and search strategy for senior leaders, including professionals moving between the public sector, government contracting, and private industry. Each participant is matched with a dedicated U.S.-based coach appropriate to their level.
Are you a diverse supplier for government and corporate procurement?
Yes. ClearPointHCO is a women- and minority-owned business founded in 2009. In a procurement environment as diversity-conscious as the D.C. region, partnering with us can support supplier-diversity, small-business, and DEI goals while delivering premium outplacement to your people.
How quickly will departing employees start receiving support?
Once you approve and enroll participants, coaching and resume work can begin quickly, and we never contact an employee without your approval first. Each employee is paired with a dedicated coach, and resume, LinkedIn, and job-search support move in parallel so people gain momentum immediately.
