Two hundred twenty five sample observations were applied to analyze the impact of consulting effect on probability of getting jobs for the retired workers. Recently the retirement of the baby-boom generation has been substantially increased, bring about the unemployment problem of the old generation. Many Companies started to provide outplacement consulting services. Nevertheless, it is hard to find the empirical evidence studied over the issue, mainly due to lack of the proper data availability. The main findings are addressed as follows. The effectiveness of outplacement consulting services was set to a substantial re-employment. First, the rate of finding new jobs depends on the retired employee’s will and confidence for finding the new jobs and their self-efficacy. Second, a sample of retired workers who were consulted by the professional consultant has been shown higher rate of succeeding in getting new jobs than a sample of without consulting. It was found that retiree’s career target and document preparations were influential factors for finding new jobs. Finally, it was shown that the variables measured by consultants are more effective rather than those measured by retirees themselves. According to this empirical results, professional consultants' support are proved to be effective in promoting the rate of finding new jobs for the retired workers.
