Outplacement services
Quest Search and Selection has over 14 years' recruitment experience within Retail and FMCG meaning we know the market place inside out. At Quest, we are proud to regard ourselves as specialist generalists with the ability to provide a wide range of bespoke services to our clients.
We recognise that tough trading conditions mean that many of our clients will need to make staff cut backs in the coming months. Redundancy is a difficult process and many people who find themselves redundant are not prepared for the job search that lies ahead. Quest is able to coach and support your staff to assist them with securing a new job.
We provide coaching in the following areas:
- CV writing skills
- Preparation of covering letters
- Job market research
- Applying to job advertisements - how to recognise what is right for you
- Making on-line applications
- Interview preparation and tips
- Approaching companies directly
- Networking
- Selecting recruitment agencies that are right for you
- How to get the most out of your recruitment consultant
- Referees - who to choose and when
- Managing the job offer and salary negotiation
What are the benefits to your company?
- Outplacement support assists with a smooth transition during the redundancy process. Employees who are offered support from their employer during redundancy are less likely to harbour negative feelings towards their employer and are less likely to appeal against the decision.
- The way that a company conducts itself during times of redundancy will be noticed by clients, stockholders and the public. Providing support to your staff helps a company to maintain a good employer brand within the industry.
- The morale of your remaining employees will undoubtedly be affected by the way in which the redundancy process is handled. The employees that remain will be aware of how the redundancies were handled and a well managed process can support retention and productivity.
- People who receive outplacement support generally find new employment quicker and more easily than those who do not.
We are able to offer one-to-one or group sessions for your employees and can provide this either on-site or at the Quest offices in London. We can provide a tailor made package suited to your needs and at a competitive rate. Please call Tom Irwin on 0208 222 0 555 to discuss your requirements.
