WHAT IS OUTPLACEMENT PLUS
OUR OUTPLACEMENT PLUS SOLUTION
OUR OUTPLACEMENT PLUS SOLUTION: HOW IT WORKS
Collins McNicholas’ bespoke Outplacement Plus Solutions is specifi cally tailored to off er companies support should they be faced with a redundancy situation. Now, more and more organisations are off ering outplacement support because of the growing recognition that it provides tangible benefi ts to both the employees and to the company.
The Outplacement Plus product provided by Collins McNicholas takes the traditional outplacement off ering further than any of the mainstream outplacement service providers are able to go. Simply put, Collins McNicholas is now incorporating a recruitment module into the outplacement process to provide clients and candidates with a much more comprehensive service.
Collins McNicholas is the fi rst outplacement provider to recognise that the traditional outplacement model does not provide a comprehensive service to outplaced candidates and needs to off er much more than it has done in the past. This enhanced off ering is particularly needed in this time of high unemployment, coupled as it is, with a very limited number of vacant positions. Increasingly, candidates need to understand how to unlock the hidden job market and outplacement plus aims to provide recruitment support to assist in this process.
Collins McNicholas provides a fi rst class professional outplacement plus service to the business community by off ering customised Individual Programmes, Group Programmes and/or Executive Programmes, depending on your organisation’s needs. These programmes can be run on your site, at an external location or at any of our facilities nationwide. We design programmes to meet requirements at all levels from director and senior executive level to support and operational staff , without compromising quality. Collins McNicholas employs talented industry professionals, many of whom are CIPD qualifi ed and are certifi ed in psychometric assessment as awarded by the British Psychological Society.
When a candidate completes the traditional outplacement module they are then assigned to a designated Senior Consultant in our Recruitment Division. This consultant is provided with a full briefing on the candidate by the Senior Outplacement Consultant who will be kept informed at all stages of the recruitment module.
The Recruitment Consultant will provide the following additional services to the candidate who has completed the outplacement module:
Place them on the Collins McNicholas database of 180,000 plus candidates which is immediately accessible to
all of our Recruitment Consultants within the group.
Provide them with immediate access to all of the local, national and international open jobs in the Collins
McNicholas network.
Explain in detail how the traditional recruitment market operates and offer advice on how to use personal
contacts, job boards, websites and recruitment agencies.
Outline the most effective routes into local and national companies.
Explain how the current job market operates and take them through networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and
Twitter and assist candidates in putting up personal profi les on each of these social networks.
Advise candidates how to build an online profile and join relevant online groups, participating in online
discussions and how to reply to online vacancies.
Provide on-going support for a period of six to twelve months.

TESTIMONIALS
“I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for an excellent outplacement programme, professionally delivered by
a great team. As HR Manager for the site, I have received nothing but positive feedback from the 160 participants, who said that
their confi dence in fi nding alternative employment was greatly boosted by their attendance and subsequent follow up one-to-one
meetings. I personally was particularly impressed that you managed to pitch the programme just right, which must have been diffi cult
given the wide demographic of the attendees. You showed great empathy and your common sense approach coupled with your broad
knowledge of the local job market was very reassuring. I wish you continued success and would have no hesitation whatsoever in
using your outplacement service again should the opportunity arise.”
Helen Harrington, HR Manager, Tiscali
“There is no question in my mind that the preparation I received from your Outplacement Programme led to my successful job off er.
Through your assistance, I attended several interviews and entered each one feeling thoroughly prepared and confi dent. You played a
signifi cant role in my new transition.”
Senior Executive, Executive Outplacement Programme
“As we were shutting a factory that had been operational for over 20 years we wanted to help our mainly manual operator based
workforce in fi nding new opportunities. We needed someone who could speak to and relate to all levels during the outplacement
programme and we found the ideal combination at Collins McNicholas. While many employees were sceptical about attending, all
found the sessions very useful and helpful, especially our operators. It was a very worthwhile and competitively priced outplacement
programme and still continues with Collins McNicholas assisting them in fi nding employment.”
Anthony Murphy, General Manager, Skretting Ireland
“The information provided was very professional and informative; and I found the interview preparation particularly useful. The tutor
was very fl exible and arranged the course times and information in accordance with the groups needs. I would defi nitely recommend
this course to my colleagues.”
