Introduction to Outplacement Services
Outplacement services are designed to assist employees in transitioning to new jobs or careers after redundancy. At Career Consultants, we specialise in providing comprehensive outplacement support, helping individuals in London and across the UK to navigate this challenging phase with confidence and strategic guidance.
What is Outplacement?
Outplacement is a support service offered by employers to help former employees transition to new jobs following layoffs or job elimination. This support can vary widely but typically includes career guidance, CV/resume assistance, interview preparation, and job search strategies. In recent years, the approach to outplacement has evolved from merely offering counselling to providing a dynamic set of services aimed at rapidly re-employing individuals.
The Evolution of Outplacement Services
Two decades ago, outplacement had a stigma attached to it, seen only as a response to job loss. Today, it is viewed as a proactive step that companies take to ensure their former employees succeed in their future job endeavours, reflecting a company’s commitment to ethical layoffs.
How Our Outplacement Process Works

3. Job Market Navigation: We provide insights into the London job market and beyond, identifying potential opportunities that align with the individual’s skills and career aspirations.
4. Interview Preparation: Our experts conduct mock interviews and provide feedback, ensuring clients are well-prepared for actual job interviews.
5. Continuous Support: We offer ongoing support throughout the job search process, helping individuals adjust strategies as needed to improve their chances of success.

Gosia Sikorska (Project Manager International) “Sarah has provided me with invaluable career advice that benefits me to this very day, not to mention I landed a perfect contract within 1 month of working together. One thing is 100% sure – working hard with Sarah will get you out of your comfort zone and force you to look at yourself from a completely different perspective. Thank you, Sarah, I will definitely be back for this reality check again.”
Freya Blom (Deep Impact Coach & Coach Supervisor) “Sarah is a consummate professional, an expert in her field, and a pleasure to work with. Her deep understanding of her subject matter and her naturally collaborative nature means she is able to give excellent insights and generate real tangible value for the client.”
Thomas Parrott (Ambassador) “I used Sarah’s CV service and can honestly say that the process of self-examination was fascinating and the results were amazing, to the extent that not long after presenting my newly formatted CV, the Head of HR at a very large PLC told me that in 30 years, she had never seen a better-written CV! I continue to recommend your services to family and friends.”
John Frieslaar (Chief Technology Officer Western Europe) “Sarah worked with me on reviewing my career, encouraging me to assess my achievements, and to support my successes. During this period, Sarah always gave me honest and unbiased feedback, allowing me to see my career progress from an alternative perspective. Her advice and support have allowed me to develop a new CV and LinkedIn profile, which I believe summarises my career history in a comprehensive and concise manner. I would happily recommend Sarah and her services, and already have done to a number of colleagues.”
Michael Karakashian (Project Manager) “Thanks again, Sarah, for all the help and guidance you have given me in terms of developing my LinkedIn profile and CV so far. The number of connections and quality of the advice you have provided to date has been fantastic.
