When you transition a senior leader, what are you offering them?
Traditional outplacement costs thousands per person for generic career coaching that senior executives attend twice and stop going. ClearLane is a structured executive positioning program built from the search side: how recruiters and PE sponsors actually read a senior profile, where the gaps are, and what a real interview looks like at their level.
The tools are built to feed one another. Resume Builder preloads into Gap Analyzer, Gap Analyzer feeds the Positioning Audit, and the Mock Interview pulls from everything before it, including past feedback and prior transcripts. The Mock Interview then feeds back into the Positioning Audit — the cycle tightens positioning and sharpens interview performance with each pass.
Starts the same day. No intake process, no scheduling, no wait time.

The outplacement model is broken by design.
Traditional providers were built for volume contracts with enterprise HR. ClearLane was built for the senior executive who just got a separation package and needs to move through the market with a cleaner story than they walked in with.
| Traditional Outplacement | ClearLane | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per executive | $5,000–$15,000 per person, billed to the company | $1,000–$1,750 Per person, pantry model, no contracts. |
| Time to deploy | Contract negotiation, vendor onboarding, intake scheduling. Executives often wait weeks before first contact. | Tokens delivered same day. Executive activates within minutes. No intake queue, no waiting room. |
| Built for | All levels, all industries, one program. The VP gets the same template as the coordinator two floors down. | VP and C-suite executives at PE-backed and mid-market companies. Nothing else. |
| Who designed it | Career coaches who advise candidates. Most have never sat in a search firm evaluating who gets to the shortlist and why. | An executive search professional who has placed Directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders and knows exactly how the other side of this process works. |
| What the executive gets | Generic resume review. Job board access. Coaching calls that run out. A portal they log into twice. | Positioning audit through a recruiter's lens. Resume gap analysis against specific target roles. Mock interview calibrated to the actual interviewer. Lifetime access. |
| Minimum commitment | Annual contracts. Volume minimums. Per-company agreements. Legal review before you can start. | No annual contract. No per-company agreements. 3-credit minimum. Buy a pantry, deploy as transitions happen. |
| Portfolio scalability | Separate contract per portfolio company. Each entity negotiates independently. No firm-level leverage. | One relationship at the firm level. Deploy to any portfolio company as transitions arise. No renegotiation required. |
Two levels of support
ClearLane runs on a credit model. Buy a block at the fund level and deploy one executive at a time as transitions happen. No annual contract, no per-company agreements, no batch scheduling.

What the executive goes through
This is what you can describe in the separation conversation: a structured positioning program that starts immediately and is built for their level.
Why this is different from traditional outplacement
Traditional outplacement programs are built from the coaching side: generic advice, scheduled sessions, a portal the executive logs into once and forgets. The content doesn't speak to their level because it was never designed for it.
ClearLane is built from the search side. Every tool reflects how recruiters and hiring committees actually evaluate senior candidates: what they look for on first pass, what makes them pause, what gets a profile moved forward or set aside. The executive doesn't need to be taught how to network or how to write a cover letter. They need to know how they're being read, and what to do about it before the search starts.
That difference is why senior executives actually use it. There's nothing to schedule around, nothing to sit through that feels beneath them. The program meets them where they are and shows them something they haven't seen before: the recruiter's perspective on their own background.
Why this works for HR teams
Ido Singer spent his career inside the executive search process, placing C-suite and VP-level leaders across PE-backed, privately held, and public companies. He built ClearLane to give candidates what he saw them missing in every search: the recruiter's read on their own background, before the interview, not after the rejection.
