What Is Outplacement?
Outplacement is a professionally delivered career transition service for employees who are leaving an organization. It supports individuals in identifying their next career step and securing new employment, while allowing employers to manage workforce changes in a compliant and responsible way.
At Undutchables, outplacement is not a generic coaching program. It is a practical, outcome-driven service that combines career strategy, job search execution, and structured reporting. Our outplacement services are designed to shorten time to placement, support senior or specialist profiles, and demonstrate due diligence during restructures.
For employers, outplacement supports risk management, employer branding, and responsible workforce transitions.
Who Outplacement Is For
Our outplacement services are designed for organizations that want to:
- Support employees through redundancy or role transitions with professionalism and dignity
- Maintain employer brand, trust, and internal morale during reorganizations
- Reduce legal, financial, and reputational risk associated with employee exits
- Provide tailored career support for senior, specialist, or international employees
- Offer structured and auditable support rather than ad hoc exit assistance
We regularly provide outplacement for internationals, senior professionals, and highly specialized roles where a bespoke approach is required.
How Our Outplacement Services Work
Our outplacement process is transparent and client-facing, with clear governance at every stage.
1. Agreement and Program Design
We define scope and commercial terms using our standard Outplacement Support Agreement, covering:
- Program duration and service levels
- One-to-one coaching hours and any group sessions
- Confidentiality and data handling
- Client-specific conditions
Based on this, we design a tailored outplacement program aligned with seniority, market position, and organizational context.
2. Intake and Goal Setting
Each participant begins with a one-to-one intake session to:
- Map skills, experience, ambitions, and constraints
- Define realistic job-market positioning and timelines
- Agree on clear placement goals
- Establish a personalized action plan
This intake forms the foundation for both coaching delivery and employer reporting.
3. Career Coaching and Practical Job-Search Support
Core elements of our outplacement services include:
- One-to-one career coaching focused on strategy, positioning, and interview preparation
- CV and application support with professionally rewritten, role-targeted documents
- LinkedIn optimization as a standard module, focused on visibility and positioning
- Active job search coaching, including role targeting, networking strategy, and direct outreach templates
- Interview preparation, mock interviews, and structured feedback aligned with target roles
Support is modular and scaled to match the participant’s seniority and target market.
4. Workshops and Group Sessions
For larger reorganizations or employee cohorts, we offer group workshops covering topics such as:
- Job market trends
- Interview techniques
- Personal branding
- Practical application strategies
Group sessions reduce cost and encourage peer support, while one-to-one coaching remains available for deeper individual needs.
5. Employer Reporting and Progress Tracking
We provide structured and confidential reporting to the employer throughout the program. Each participant has a standardized outplacement report that includes:
- Activities completed
- Interviews arranged
- Offers received
- Placement status and timelines
These reports support governance, due diligence, and ROI tracking.
6. Completion and Handover
Once a participant secures a new role or completes the agreed program, we deliver:
- A final outcome report
- Handover notes where applicable
- Any agreed follow-up or short warranty support
We can also support onboarding or transitions into direct-hire roles.
