For Partners

Be part of the answer on someone's hardest working day.

PinkSlipped is the front door for people navigating a layoff. We bring a small number of organizations into that moment — introduced with context, and held to one non-negotiable standard: the worker's interests come first.

The Moment

One of the largest underserved moments in American life.

Every layoff sets off a cluster of high-stakes decisions on a clock: a severance agreement to review, a 401(k) to move, health coverage to replace, a job search to start — sometimes a city to leave. Each one is exactly what a great provider does for a living. And almost nobody reaches these people at the moment the decisions get made.

1.7M

U.S. workers laid off or discharged every month

7.1M

Americans currently unemployed

1.9M

job seekers searching 27 weeks or longer

The people behind these numbers don't need more content. They need someone in their corner — and they remember who showed up.

Why PinkSlipped

We're not a lead vendor. We're the introduction they trust.

  • 01

    Trust before the referral.

    Workers meet us through the Pack Finder, Field Notes, and our starter kits — useful from the first minute, free, on their side. By the time we make an introduction, it carries weight.

  • 02

    Context, not cold leads.

    People come to us through a structured intake that maps their actual situation. When we connect someone to a partner, it's the right person, in the right lane, at the right moment.

  • 03

    Curation, not a directory.

    A lane can hold more than one partner, but only organizations we'd send our own friends to, all held to one experience standard. Being in the network means something, because the bar doesn't move.

  • 04

    A brand built for this moment.

    PinkSlipped exists only for job-loss transitions. We're not a jobs board, a benefits portal, or an HR product with a landing page. This moment is the whole company.

The Network

Serious organizations, one standard.

Our worker-facing network today spans financial planning, employment law, benefits navigation, career help — coaches, recruiters and search firms, retraining programs, tools and job-search community — and relocation and real estate. Nationally recognized names and specialist boutiques clear the same bar. Workers see each kind of partner the same way: what they do, and what we hold them to.

  • Your Money

    Financial planning and severance decisions.

  • Your Rights

    Employment law and severance review.

  • Your Health Coverage

    Benefits navigation after the exit.

  • Your Next Role

    Coaches, recruiters, retraining, tools and job-search community.

  • Your Move

    Relocation and real estate on your timeline.

The Bar

One requirement above all the others.

Fit here is mutual — we're choosing you, and you're choosing us. But the first test isn't negotiable:

№ 1 — Aligned with the worker

Your economics, your incentives, and your service model have to point the same direction as the worker's interests. If a worker doing well means you do well, we should talk. If your model depends on their confusion, urgency, or fine print, this won't work.

  • 02

    They'd pass the friend test.

    We only include organizations we'd send our own friends and family to — the same bar we hold on the worker-facing side.

  • 03

    They know this moment.

    Deep, demonstrated experience with the specific problems job loss creates — not a general product with a layoff landing page.

  • 04

    They show up at a service level.

    Partner-level attention, fast response, and a real human on the other end. We match on fit for the worker's situation, so more than one partner can serve a lane — and every one of them is held to the same standard. Our name rides on every introduction, so we stay involved.

How it starts

A conversation, not a contract.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your organization

    The form below, five minutes.

  2. 02

    We do our homework

    We ask what we'd ask for a friend: your model, your incentives, your reputation, your service.

  3. 03

    We design the fit together

    Placement in the right lane, how introductions work, and what workers see. If the fit isn't mutual, we'll say so plainly.

Start the Conversation

Tell us about your organization.

Inclusion in the PinkSlipped network is decided solely by PinkSlipped and is never for sale. Some partners pay PinkSlipped a flat, fair-market fee for routing or marketing; that fee never varies with volume or outcome, and members are told when an introduction involves a paid partner. Every partner is held to the same worker-first standards regardless of commercial arrangement.
