This is a wonderful service!

This is a wonderful service. I really appreciated all of the advice, help and at times - hand holding! It has been invaluable for me to have them at the end of the line with weekly discussions, adhoc emails and for the odd moral boost when needed! Job hunting is a roller coaster and Outplacement First provided unwavering support throughout! THANK YOU!

Excellent service

I cannot recommend this service highly enough. The support is excellent, and they follow up regularly to see how you're getting on with your job search. After a sudden redundancy their advice was the main reason I secured new employment.

Outplacement First have been very responsive, flexible and professional

Outplacement First have been very responsive, flexible and professional in supporting our colleagues whose roles are at risk. As the commissioning manager, they have kept me up to date, put different packages together when requested and been really easy to work with. Feedback from colleagues working with their coaches has been excellent.

Highly Recommend - excellent training!

Can't recommend this training enough - we had staff at risk take part in this training and whether they had recently left university or had been working for years all of their feedback was excellent. People feel equipped and more confident about the prospect of job hunting!

Outstanding service from a client and customer perspective

I've worked with Outplacement First as a client but also as a customer attending one of their workshops. In both cases the service received has been brilliant. As a client they are so accommodating to our needs and very flexible!
Attending one of the workshops was also extremely useful and very informative. It gave me the confidence to go out and take my next steps. The consultant delivering the course provided so much information and to keep his energy levels up for a whole day, delivering via a webinar to a silent audience is nothing but amazing!

Outplacement First saved the day!

Laurence at Outplacement First helped me build confidence needed at a crucial time to get back into employment following a redundancy during the pandemic. I felt I had a good cv; LinkedIn profile and decent interview techniques. However, Laurence tailored a plan to meet my needs for the types of roles and employers I was targeting. He taught me a few things and helped me change the language and tone of my cv to be in line with what employers are looking for; tidy up my linked-in profile to match my cv; but most importantly helped me polish my interview technique. This was instrumental during the interview stage when I was shortlisted for a few roles. One of which, I ultimately got.

Highly recommended

We have been working with Outplacement First for over a year now and the service we are receiving is a solid 10 out of 10. The consultants at Outplacement call our employees within one day of referral to set up their initial meetings. Our employees have provided us with excellent feedback on the service they receive and how much they are getting out of their sessions to aid them in their future endeavours. Abigail, our Client Services Director provides us with detailed summaries of how they are helping and supporting our employees.
I would highly recommend Outplacement First to any company looking for a professional, robust, engaging and simply excellent outplacement programme.

Service feedback

Abigail, our consultant Dean and the rest of the team at Outplacement First provided an outstanding service for all of our colleagues.

Under what have been exceptionally difficult circumstances, they have been extremely accommodating and feedback from those who attended the CV writing and job search sessions has been excellent.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

A Professional and Tailored Service.

I can highly recommend Outplacement First. We utilised their 'job search workshops' and were amazed at not only the quality of the content but the bespoke service, speed of communications and follow up. The attention to detail and advice given was excellent. Our participants found the workshops and follow up service to be meaningful and very beneficial.

It has been wonderful to have the opportunity to get this support during a difficult time! All contacts show great empathy and have given me the encouragement and advice I needed to rebuild my confidence.

The portal has been very helpful, especially the interview prep module. This made a great difference to my performance at interview - particularly the sections on the questions to ask as a candidate.

As an experienced HR professional, it has been a great opportunity to see the impact this can make to people directly!

I would not hesitate to recommend Outplacement First or to consider using them again in the future.

Would definitley offer to employees again

As a HR professional I have been delighted with the service offered to those of our employees sadly being made redundant. Feedback from those using the service has been overwhelmingly positive and I'm especially delighted that one of our employees secured interviews for each of the six roles that he applied for and subsequently two job offers.
