What You Should Know About Outplacement Services
Types of outplacement services – Why use outplacement services? – Are outplacement services worth it? – And more
This service is completely free to the participant and funded by the company. So why do companies provide outplacement assistance?
Benefits of outplacement services may include:
- Improve company image. By providing career transition services such as professional job search assistance, a company can show they care for their workforce and improve their employer brand and reputation. In today’s competitive market for talent, a strong employer brand is critical.
- Better outcomes for transitioning employees and organisations. Qualified career transition support is more likely to help transitioning employees find the right opportunities faster. This is not just good for the individual, but it can also help remaining employees dealing with survivor’s guilt to see their former colleagues resettled and moving on positively.
- Alleviates stress. Career transition can be stressful for both those leaving the business and remaining staff. Effective outplacement support can ensure those affected by redundancy have the care they need to take the next step in their career and help everyone move forward confidently into a positive future. Professional advice and support during the planning phase can also help alleviate the stress for HR and the senior executive team when trying to deliver redundancies with compassion and compliance.
- Additional career progression services. Career transition coaching can also assist organisations with internal mobility, redeployment, executive coaching and employee career development through access to invaluable career advice, resume writing services, interview coaching and much more
During your outplacement program any information you share with your outplacement coach will be completely confidential. Personal information you share will not be shared with your former employer.
Recruiters are a valuable part of any job search process but are very different to career coaches and outplacement consultants. Recruiters are engaged by a business to find a person for a specific role. Their focus is delivering a positive result for their client organisation. They generally look for market ready candidates that suit their specific needs for that role.
Our focus is you. Our goal is to partner with you to help you identify the right opportunities and present competitively. This includes support across every aspect of the career transition process including resume preparation, career exploration and planning, interview preparation and job search. We also work to help safeguard you during the vulnerable parts of the job search process. Whilst we don’t place candidates in roles or find vacancies, we will pass on leads or opportunities we hear about if they are suitable. We are not affiliated with any ONE recruitment agency but instead work with you to find the best recruiters to meet your needs.
Today’s professional outplacement services are very different to past models. Our outplacement programs are highly flexible and practical to help you with challenging and time consuming parts of jobsearch. You can opt to work with our coaches in person at our offices or via email, skype or over the phone. Our outplacement job coaching team will adjust your program to meet your needs and includes resume writers, interview coaches and qualified career coaches. Together, they are continually researching the latest job search trends, resume expectations and market changes to give you the maximum advantage in the marketplace.
Our job outplacement services include:
- Professional services for resume writing, cover letter writing, and LinkedIn profile optimisation
- Guidance with planning your next step and assessment of your skills, experience, qualifications, and certifications in line with the current job market
- Job search advice and networking tips for personal branding, transition and career development
- Interview preparation – entry-level, mid-level and executive coaching for face-to-face and video interviews
- And much more
Most importantly you should know that our outplacement firm cares about you and your future, and our coaches will do all they can to help you during your transition to your next role or career opportunity.
