More than 8,500 workers in San Jose, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara alone have been affected by WARN-notice layoffs in 2026, according to WARN filings tracked by Layoff IQ (September 2026). Capstone helps Bay Area tech employers give departing employees 1-on-1 help from a writer who understands technical roles.
Built for tech talent
Silicon Valley layoffs hit software engineers, product managers, data scientists, hardware and semiconductor engineers, and the sales, marketing and operations teams around them.

Planning a reduction under Cal-WARN
California’s WARN Act (Cal-WARN) covers establishments with 75 or more employees and generally requires 60 days’ notice before a mass layoff of 50 or more workers, a relocation or a closure. Since January 1, 2026, Cal-WARN notices must also state whether the employer will coordinate services, such as a rapid response orientation, through the local workforce development board or another entity. A Capstone outplacement program gives departing employees 1-on-1 help on top of those public resources.

Frequently asked questions
How much do outplacement services cost?
Our packages start at $499 per employee. They’re priced by career level, with volume discounts for groups. Traditional outplacement firms often charge thousands per person or require multi-month contracts. We focus on the services that make the biggest difference in a job search, at a fixed price.
Who pays for outplacement services?
The employer usually pays, and the service is offered as part of the severance or separation package. Employees don’t pay anything and book their sessions directly with us.
Do you work with engineers and other technical roles?
Yes. Our writers specialize in technical resumes for software, hardware, semiconductor, data and IT professionals, plus product, sales and operations roles at tech companies.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Employee conversations and documents stay private. HR only receives summary information about who has used the service.
