What We Do
Talent Management Solutions For Today’s Workforce
Helping companies that care empower their people
for over 40 years.
Build a high-performing team by finding top-tier candidates, developing them into strong leaders, and transitioning people effectively, all with Ascendant at your side. Our programs take a high-touch, personalized approach that goes way beyond what’s available on any screen.
Flagship Services
Direct-Hire Staffing
Find Truly-the-Best Talent With Ease.
Talent recruitment and retention for leaders and key contributors require a strategic and experienced approach. We offer a streamlined process that saves internal teams considerable time and effort while maintaining confidentiality. Our vast network often includes candidates not yet publicly on the market, which, combined with our assessment strategy, provides a sharp competitive edge.
We connect organizations with leaders who have the right skill set for your needs and the right mindset for your culture. Whether for large corporations, nonprofits, or family-owned businesses, our direct-hire staffing services deliver high-quality outcomes tailored to your goals.
Leadership Development
Invest in Your Best, for Even Greater Success.
We support whole-person growth through high-quality programs for executives, middle managers, and key contributors looking to rise within an organization. From personalized, individual coaching to group programs and succession planning, we equip both your emerging and established leaders with the skills and competencies needed to excel in their roles.
Not only do these experiences prepare leaders for future challenges, they also help ensure continuity, foster collaboration, and maintain organizational stability.
Outplacement Services
Do the Right Thing, for Your People and Your Profits.
Layoffs are complex and rife with potential pitfalls. Offering career transition support helps those whose jobs were eliminated write a great resume, prepare for the interview process, and leverage their network, resulting in greater success finding an ideal next position.
Supporting people as they exit the organization helps maintain the morale of your remaining team members, mitigates potential liability and future costs, and strengthens later recruitment efforts.
Additional Services
On-Demand Workshops
Engage and Empower Your People in Key Areas, Easily.
We offer a range of mini-workshops designed to be very impactful for your employees and their productivity, while being a light lift logistically for you. Our facilitators will deliver an on-site workshop in a 1-2 hour session or even lunch’n’learn-style, so that your team grows together in critical areas, in a way that works best for everyone.
Available workshop themes and topics range from general team-building and assessment sessions to specific and much-needed topics like:
- Building Resilience and Battling Burnout
- How to Set Goals that Matter in Work and Life
- Time Management and Prioritization
- Tools to Reduce Stress in Five Minutes or Less
