In need of help- Kept debating whether to post this, but trying to help my family. Is anyone aware of companies that are hiring older employees? My dad got laid off months ago from covid and he is 61. He is a highly qualified/experienced Enterprise Software Sales Exec (Cloud, AI, Analytics, and other areas). But he is struggling to get hired especially at big tech firms. Its very obvious it’s because of his age (but of course they can’t say that). Trying to do my part and find connections.

He could be a good fit for Deloitte PDM if he can do delivery. You should also look at open positions for alliance managers - if it aligns with his existing relationships and knowledge from his sales work.

Thank you!! Referred him to a few alliance manager positions but haven’t heard anything. I will look at PDM!

I don’t have any useful leads but wanted to comment that I know how hard this is. My dad went through this and it was so hard both to see the toll it took on him and the stress it caused for the whole family. Sending you good thoughts, your dad is lucky to have you!
