Outplacement Services

Have a job to fill?

Sometimes companies need to reduce their headcount for various business operating reasons. These reductions are often referred to as RIFs (Reduction in Workforce), Redundancies and lay-offs.

Whatever they are called, they have an enormous impact on the individual, the individual’s family, their teammates, employees that remain in the company and general morale.

Often, companies that genuinely care about their staff will engage an Outplacement service provider to work with those laid off to help them transition to a new role.

The typical services provided by an Outplacement provider are:

  • CV and LinkedIn update
  • Career coaching
  • Interview coaching
  • How to apply for jobs
  • Cover letters
  • Negotiating package

Why should a company offer Outplacement services?

Many companies believe that they owe their employees more than just money in a severance package. The want to support them to make the process easier for the employee, and to also keep morale high within the remaining workforce. After all, a disgruntled ex-employee can be quite a force for disruption.

Not only does an Outplacement service actively help the employees that have been laid off, it also enhances the company’s brand and image – that it does care about its staff and will do what it can to support them in good times and bad.

How does Outplacement work?

Outplacement comes in many shapes and sizes from group online sessions to self-directed on-line modules or more personal 1- 2 – 1 service either face to face or via phone and video meeting.

Feedback from candidates that have experienced Outplacement services confirms to us that our preferred method – 1-2-1 – the most valued by service users, making them feel genuinely supported.

Our service can include the following:

  • Initial meeting with the service user and discussing what new role they wish to look for
  • Work with the service user to create an up to date and effective CV
  • Work with the service user to create an up-to-date LinkedIn profile
  • Coaching the service user on how to articulate their personal value proposition
  • Coach the service user on how to write cover letters and tailor their CV
  • Support the service user through interview processes
  • Support the service user though package negotiations

How much does Outplacement cost?

This will depend on the level of support you wish to provide to your employees. Our minimum service level consists of the following:

  • Initial meeting to discuss the service users goals, skills and experience
  • Work with the service user to create an upto date and effective CV
