Dr. Don Hanratty established Career Control Group in 1984 to help organizations manage change in a positive way, while helping individuals "take control" of their careers. Today, Career Control Group, a member of the Optîmance family of consulting practices, has grown to be the Southwest's largest independent career management firm. Career Control Group was honored to be named an Inc 500 and Dallas 100 company two years in a row — 2002 & 2003.

Pioneering the concept of career continuation, our alternative to traditional outplacement, Career Control Group has helped thousands of individuals make positive career transitions, but it is our client company, the sponsoring employer, that we ultimately service.

We support companies in the midst of mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, and "right-sizing," as well as help companies effectively improve employee retention and recover "at-risk" employees. Our services include assisting companies in planning workforce reductions, training managers prior to release notification and providing management new options when faced with sensitive personnel issues.

Career Control Group is proud to be a member of Career Partners International (CPI), the world's most powerful partnership of career development firms, spanning the globe from Saskatchewan to Sao Paulo. CPI is an organization of privately held firms that share consultant proficiency standards, candidate materials and technological resources such as the CPI Online Career Center. Our partnership with CPI allows us to serve our clients with the dedication of an entrepreneur and the strength of a global network.
