Outplacement & Redundancy Support

What the Programme Includes
When a senior employee leaves, whether through restructuring, redundancy, or mutual agreement, the quality of support they receive reflects directly on the organisation.

- one-to-one career coaching with an experienced senior consultant
- executive CV writing and LinkedIn profile optimisation

- interview preparation and practice
- job search strategy, including recruiter engagement and networking
- a written coaching summary capturing positioning, strengths and recommendations
- ongoing support for an agreed period (typically 3 to 6 months)
- regular progress reporting to the sponsoring employer (with candidate consent)
Who This Is For
This service is designed for employers and HR teams who need to:
- provide meaningful support to departing senior executives and directors
- fulfil settlement agreement or redundancy package commitments
- protect employer brand and reputation during restructuring
- support executives through planned transitions, retirements or role changes
- offer a premium alternative to generic outplacement providers
Why Choose a Specialist Provider
Large outplacement firms often deliver a standardised programme regardless of seniority. A managing director receives the same template CV advice as a middle manager. We work differently. Every programme is built around the individual: their seniority, their sector, their ambitions and their circumstances. Our consultants have worked with executives across financial services, technology, healthcare, professional services and the public sector. We understand what it takes to secure a senior appointment, and we deliver the calibre of support that the situation demands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we commission this for a single individual?
Yes. We work with individual outplacement cases as well as group programmes. Each individual receives a fully personalised programme regardless of how many people are involved.
What seniority levels do you support?
We work with director level and above, including C-suite, managing directors, vice presidents and senior functional leaders. For more junior levels, we can recommend suitable providers.
How is pricing structured?
Programmes are priced per individual based on the scope and duration of support. We provide a detailed proposal after an initial scoping conversation with the HR team or employer representative.
Is the service confidential?
Completely. We operate under strict confidentiality. Progress reporting to the employer is only provided with the explicit consent of the individual, and we never share details of job applications, interviews or personal circumstances.
Can the individual choose their own consultant?
Yes. We arrange an introductory call so the individual can meet their consultant before the programme begins. Rapport and trust are essential at this level, and we want to ensure the fit is right.
