OCM

What OCM does

OCM (Organizational Consultants to Management) is a private, founder-owned career transition and outplacement consulting firm headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 1985 by Dave Hilbig, the company provides employer-sponsored outplacement services, executive coaching, leadership development, succession planning, change management, retirement planning, and group training programs to organizations undergoing workforce reductions, reorganizations, or retirements. Its primary buyers are HR teams at organizations managing downsizing events; its end-beneficiaries are individual transitioning employees who receive one-on-one career coaching, resume branding, LinkedIn profile optimization, interview preparation, and retirement option guidance. The company markets itself as the 'Intermountain West's preferred outplacement service provider' and operates three physical offices across Utah — Murray/Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Orem — while extending delivery globally through a partnership network for large-scale initiatives.

OCM's core technology is best characterized as a human-coach-led service methodology rather than a software platform. Service modules include Career Transition Services (separation planning, one-on-one consultation, LinkedIn profile optimization, resume branding, interview prep), Leadership Development (executive coaching, succession planning, change management), Retirement Options life planning, and Group Training classes. The underlying technology stack is minimal: a Squarespace-hosted website, LinkedIn profiles for staff, a resources page with job boards, and an email newsletter. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to each employer's needs, structured as multi-year contracts; no standard pricing tiers or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is relationship-based enterprise field sales — OCM partners directly with organizational HR teams to deliver on-site employee notification support and follow-up services, with flexible onsite and remote delivery options through local offices and global partnerships.

The business is small (1–10 employees per firmographic data), privately held with no PE/VC investment or external institutional backing, and appears to be family-operated, with founder Dave Hilbig working alongside Executive Vice President Matthew Hilbig and Vice President Karla Stoker. OCM reports no M&A activity, no patents or trademarks, no funding rounds, and no public regulatory actions. Revenue is generated entirely through professional-services fees on employer contracts and individual coaching engagements, with the firm explicitly claiming it helps transitioning employees reestablish in new careers in approximately half the time of industry standards.
