Outplacement

In recruiter context

Standard at large UK employers in any redundancy round above a handful of people. Common providers are Lee Hecht Harrison, Randstad RiseSmart, and Right Management. Decent outplacement gives you 3-6 months of access to a coach, CV reviews, and a job search platform; weak outplacement is a generic webinar library and a quarterly check-in email. Always ask for the spec before signing the settlement agreement — "outplacement support" with no provider named or hour cap specified is worth roughly nothing. If they won't enhance it, see if you can negotiate a cash equivalent instead.
