Outplacement services
Help the people you let go land their next role.
Every departing employee gets a rebuilt resume and LinkedIn, a 1:1 coach and a daily plan for the search. Live within 72 hours of your notice date, scoped to your headcount.
What are outplacement services?
Outplacement is support an employer pays for to help departing employees find their next job. It sits alongside severance: the pay covers the gap, and outplacement shortens it.
The difference between programs is what people actually receive. A login to a portal of templates is outplacement on paper. A coach, a rebuilt profile and a plan they work every day is outplacement that leads to interviews.
What every departing employee gets
Resume and LinkedIn, rebuilt the same day
Positioned for the role they want next, not a reformatted version of the last one.
A target company list with real contacts
Companies hiring for their skills, with the people inside them to reach out to.
A 1:1 coach
Regular calls for strategy, accountability, interview prep and offer negotiation.
Outreach written for them
Connection notes and follow-ups drafted daily. They send them from their own LinkedIn.
Interview practice and resume tailoring
Practice answers out loud and tailor the resume to each application in minutes.
A dashboard and app to run the search
One daily plan, matched job openings and progress they can see, on the web and on their phone.
The new benchmark
What good outplacement looks like now
When Canva cut 1,271 roles in November 2026, its package was widely praised. It included:
- At least six months of pay, wherever the employee is based
- 12 months of continued healthcare and a year of employee assistance for their family
- One-on-one career coaching and interview preparation
- A year of LinkedIn Premium
- An opt-in alumni directory shared with investors and partners
Most of that list is about the first 90 days after the meeting, not the money. You don’t need Canva’s budget to give people the coaching, the rebuilt profile and the plan. That is what we deliver.

What outplacement costs
Scoped to your situation, not read off a rate card. A defined group is priced per person; ongoing departures usually fit a monthly retainer. Headcount, coaching depth and length of support set the price.
Send your headcount and timeline and we’ll reply with a proposal within one business day.

Outplacement FAQ
Outplacement is support an employer pays for to help people it is letting go find their next job. Done well, it means a rebuilt resume and LinkedIn profile, a coach, interview preparation and a concrete plan for the search, starting the week of the layoff rather than after severance runs out.
We scope it per engagement rather than reading it off a rate card. A defined group is priced per person; ongoing departures usually fit a monthly retainer. What moves the price is headcount, how much coaching each person gets, and for how long. Send us your headcount and timeline and we will come back with a proposal within one business day.
Within 72 hours of receiving the list of people. Each person gets a kickoff call, and their resume and LinkedIn rebuilt the same day.
Yes, and that is the most common way to offer it: named in the separation letter alongside pay and benefits, with enrollment instructions people can act on the same day.
Yes. You receive aggregate reporting (who has enrolled, activity, outcomes). Individual coaching conversations and career details stay between the employee and their coach.
Yes. Everything is delivered online and by phone: coaching calls, the rebuilt resume and LinkedIn, and a dashboard and app each person uses to run their search.
Traditional programs lean on templates, group webinars and job-board access. Ours is one-to-one: each person's resume and LinkedIn rebuilt for the role they want next, a target company list with real contacts, a coach, and a daily plan. It is built for a 50 or 500 person reduction, not only for enterprise contracts.
How you let people go is how they remember you.
Give them a coach and a plan, not a template, and turn a hard week into one they speak well of.
