Our Network
You shouldn't have to figure out who to trust. So we did it for you.
A layoff reaches further than the paycheck. Help for the parts everyone expects, and the parts nobody mentions until they arrive, so you can spend your energy on what's next.
A place to land
The expected parts of a layoff come with paperwork. The rest just show up.
Severance, health coverage and the job search arrive with forms and deadlines, and most of the help out there stops at the paperwork. The rest shows up on its own: a laptop to hand back, a policy that quietly ended, a closet that suddenly matters. PinkSlipped is built to be one place to land for all of it, so our network includes everyday products and services alongside the professionals.
What everyone expects
- Severance, and what you're being asked to sign
- Health coverage, and a 60-day window to choose
- Unemployment benefits
- The job search
What nobody mentions
- The laptop and phone were the company's, and they go back in week one
- Life insurance through work usually ends with the job
- An old 401(k) comes with choices worth understanding before you move it
- Some of your monthly costs were quietly covered by your employer
- The interview invite arrives before you've thought about what still fits
- The weeks lose their shape
- Freelance income can change your unemployment check
- The house starts to feel urgent
- Friends want to help and don't know how
Most people discover the second list one surprise at a time. We'd rather you saw it all at once.
How we choose
The same bar, whoever you're matched with.
A partner is here because of the experience they deliver, not the name on the door. Every one of them, in every lane, is held to this.
01
They're aligned with you.
Their economics, their incentives, and their service model point the same direction as your interests. If a provider's model depends on confusion, urgency, or fine print, they aren't here.
02
They know this moment.
Deep experience with exactly the problems job loss creates — not a general product with a layoff landing page.
03
A real person, quickly.
Partner-level attention, fast response, and a real human on the other end. You are treated as a person in transition, not a lead.
04
The cost comes first.
You're told what it costs, and whether that partner pays us, before you talk to anyone.
05
They'd pass the friend test.
We only include providers we'd send our own friends and family to.
06
We stay involved.
Our name rides on every introduction, so we hold a service standard and keep holding it after the handoff.
The network at a glance
Every lane, and the kinds of help in it.
A lane can have more than one partner, and some lanes hold everyday products rather than professionals. Who you're matched with depends on your situation: where you live, what you need, what it costs. What each kind of partner does, and what we hold them to, doesn't change.
Your Money
Financial planners
Advisors who plan through life transitions — severance, a 401(k) that needs a new home, income gaps. A calm, credentialed second opinion matters most in the weeks after a layoff.
What we hold them toPlanning-first, not product-first. The first conversation has to be useful whether or not you ever become a client.
Retirement account help
Services that find old 401(k)s, move them where you choose and handle the paperwork with your old plan. Most people have more time on this than it feels like.
What we hold them toFree to you, plain about who pays them, and honest when leaving the money where it is serves you better.
Budgeting & bill tools
Apps that put every recurring charge in one place, so you can see your real monthly number and cut what you won't miss.
What we hold them toA free version that does the job, and every fee shown before you agree to anything.
Your Rights
Employee-side employment attorneys
Severance review, discrimination, retaliation, unpaid wages, wrongful termination. Severance deadlines are short, and that's the worst time to start hunting for a lawyer.
What we hold them toLawyers who only sit on your side of the table, and who tell you what a review costs before it starts.
Your Coverage
Benefits navigators & enrollment help
Licensed brokers, certified navigators and enrollment platforms that help sort COBRA, Marketplace plans and lower-cost options. The paperwork arrives with a deadline attached, when you're least equipped to read it.
What we hold them toOne handoff instead of three phone trees, and a recommendation that fits your household, not the plan that pays them best.
Life insurance
Coverage through work usually ends with the job. If someone depends on your income, there's a short window to decide what replaces it.
What we hold them toNo pressure to buy in week one, and an honest answer if you don't need coverage at all.
Your Next Role
Not sure which kind you need? Career help, decoded →Career coaches
One-on-one work on narrative, search strategy, interviews, pivots, and the harder conversation about what you actually want next.
What we hold them toReferences you can call, no guaranteed placements, and a way out if it isn't working after two sessions.
Recruiters & search firms
They fill roles for the companies that hire them. The employer pays, typically a percentage of first-year salary. Never you.
What we hold them toPlain about who they work for, specific about the roles they actually place, and never a fee to the job seeker.
Retraining & credentials
Community college, certificates, bootcamps, and publicly funded training for people whose role was eliminated or who are changing fields.
What we hold them toPrograms that want you to test the field and check public funding before you pay a deposit.
Tools & community
Trackers, résumé builders, match scorers, one-profile application tools, and job-search councils of people in the same spot. The floor under everything else.
What we hold them toBuilt only for the job seeker, with a free tier that's a real product, not a teaser.
Wardrobe & presence
Stylists who help you show up for interviews in clothes that fit now, starting with what you already own.
What we hold them toA free first conversation, with no shopping list attached.
Your Own Thing
Business formation & setup
Help forming a company, getting set up with the IRS and your state, and staying compliant, for when consulting or a small business becomes real.
What we hold them toHonest that you may not need a company yet, and clear about which add-ons renew every year.
Your Move
Relocation & real estate
Relocation specialists and certified relocation agents. Moving while job hunting is its own full-time job.
What we hold them toNo pressure to list or buy before there's an offer, and someone who knows the zip code you're heading to.
Your Everyday
Refurbished tech
Laptops, phones and tablets to replace the devices you handed back, for less than new.
What we hold them toA real warranty, an easy return, and nothing more than the search ahead requires.
Your People
Not sure what to say? The Other Pink Slip →Care packages
Boxes friends, family and former colleagues can send in the first weeks, made with independent makers: something to write in, something to write with, and room for a note that matters more than the box.
What we hold them toUseful things only, and never a sales pitch inside the box.
Still Growing

Free for any professional · No sign-up
Before you ever partner with us, take the guide.
Care at the Moment of Loss is our free, research-backed 101 for attorneys, planners, benefits navigators, coaches and recruiters who serve people after a layoff. Twenty minutes. Yours to keep and share with your team, whether or not you ever join the network.
- Seven practices
- The first conversation, step by step
- Built on published research
The organizations in our network are independent companies, firms and makers. Inclusion is never for sale. Some partners pay PinkSlipped a flat fee for routing or marketing that never depends on whether you become a client, and we tell you when an introduction involves a paid partner. For some everyday products, we may earn a commission when you buy through our links; it never changes your price, and we say so wherever it applies. PinkSlipped never takes a referral fee on home sales or purchases. PinkSlipped doesn't provide legal, financial, insurance, real-estate, or career placement advice or services, and inclusion here isn't an endorsement of outcomes. Always evaluate any provider or product for your own situation.
