Outplacement services

Outplacement services that get people hired, and protect your brand.

When a restructuring or layoff happens, we help every impacted employee find their next role with resume preparation, interview coaching, networking and support, from individual contributors to executives.

The business case

Why outplacement is worth investing in.

  • Improve reputation

    Layoffs can damage how former, current and future employees see you. Outplacement shows people they're cared for at every stage of the employment lifecycle, which leads to better reviews and brand loyalty.

  • Increase loyalty

    Surviving employees stay engaged when they see colleagues treated well, and engaged employees do better work. Your reputation stays intact and future hiring gets easier.

  • Reduce cost

    Employees with outplacement find work twice as fast, lowering unemployment and severance costs, and a stronger reputation lowers your cost per hire.

  • Mitigate risk

    Restructuring carries legal risk. Outplacement reduces animosity during the transition, and with it the likelihood of costly wrongful-termination claims.
