Leading Oklahoma Outplacement Firm Kicks Off 2009 with New Name

TULSA, OK (Jan. 20, 2009) – Career Development Services, one of Oklahoma’s leading talent management firms, begins 2009 with a new name, Career Development Partners.  As a full-service talent management company, Career Development Partners offers outplacement, executive search and executive coaching services to organizations across Oklahoma and Arkansas.

 “In today’s very challenging economy, it’s more important than ever to go beyond customer satisfaction by providing long-term solutions that positively impact the lives of our clients and candidates,” says Travis Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Career Development Partners.  “We replaced the word ‘Services’ from our old name with the word ‘Partners’.  For us, the word ‘Partners’ takes service to a new level and emphasizes our commitment to building strong relationships with our clients that deliver results.” 

In addition to a new name, Career Development Partners unveils a new logo and updated web site, www.cdpartnersinc.com, focusing on a message of “Providing Solutions. Impacting Lives.”  The Career Development Partners web site offers outplacement transition tools, job openings, available candidates, online skills training, CPI Partner locations and more. 

The new name also more closely aligns Career Development Partners as a member of Career Partners International (CPI), one of the world’s largest providers of talent management solutions through a network of locally-headquartered firms with international resources.  With more than 160 offices located in 20 countries around the world and serving every state in America, CPI offers customized talent management, outplacement and executive coaching services backed by the expertise and experience of more than 1,600 highly trained professionals.
