“I was getting interviews from my resume, although my messaging in interviews were not getting me any offers or positive feedback. My career stories were superficial, and my preparation was not where it needed to be. You helped me effectively communicate my strength to future employers. Not only did I land a job in my new career, but also at a SENIOR level. There is no way that I would have been able to land this position without your help."
Tyler W.Senior Financial Analyst
"You were concerned not only with what I originally asked of you, but also spent a few minutes at the beginning making sure that I was going down the right path. This made me feel well cared for, and let me know that you were taking a universal view, which is, in my opinion, more valuable than the focused view that I originally requested."

Why your company should provide outplacement services

There are several benefits to providing career outplacement services to your departing employees through company severance packages:

  • Building a positive reputation as a good place to work. This can attract top talent and make it easier to recruit new employees in the future.
  • Improving employee morale. When employees feel supported by their company during a difficult time, it can improve retention, morale, and productivity. This is also crucially important in times of restructuring or downsizing.
  • Reducing transition time and unemployment costs. Career outplacement services can help departing employees find new jobs more quickly by providing them with the resources and support they need to launch a successful job search. This can save your company money in the long run, by reducing the time that employees are out of work.
  • Reducing the risk of lawsuits: When employees are laid off or terminated without any support, they may feel angry and resentful. This can lead to a bad reputation, or even lawsuits against the company. Providing career outplacement services can help to reduce these risks by demonstrating the company’s commitment to helping employees find new jobs.
