Outplacement services
Outplacement & career management
Are you considering making staff redundant; providing them with personal and professional support; and offering them outplacement services?
Then we can assist you.
Our outplacement services are unique as we work on both sides of the fence.
Every redundancy is unique, so we tailor our outplacement solutions accordingly. Hence, with our online services, we can promptly assist anyone “anywhere, on any device” through screen share and online meetings.
It is unfortunate to let people go, especially if it is not the fault of the employees. Outplacement is a consideration when termination of employment occurs – maybe because of a redundancy – and you wish to do your best, assisting departing employees with their career change. It is also a way to thank them for their loyal service.

"I am truly impressed with the Outplacement Service provided by Christian Madsen and 11 Recruitment.
The service was professional, and we created a great looking CV, sharp cover letter and optimised my LinkedIn profile for job hunting.
Based on Christian’s recommendations I also made 3 LinkedIn posts which we used in my job applications and follow up correspondence. It worked brilliantly. I managed to get several interviews and landed a great job within a short period of time.
Thank you."
What we do
As we work in both the outplacement and recruitment space, we know which positions are in high demand and therefore, we provide solid career management advice.
Working across a variety of industries we can advise all candidates, from entry level staff to senior executives, on how to seek opportunities in the current market. Naturally, we also counsel job-seekers on how to best position themselves to prospective employers.
Employer benefits
An outplacement program is offered as an assistance to the departing employees, giving them a helping hand with their career change.
The benefits go further as it also sends a message to the remaining staff, that the organisation values and cares for departing employees.
Employee benefits
For the employee, the shock of losing their job and income can be traumatic. Getting back into the job market is not straightforward for most people. Yes, it is easy to find jobs on SEEK. Search and you will find them.
That is excellent – however, finding a job advertisement and applying for it is not the same as receiving an offer of employment. It is not unusual for employers to receive 200 – 300 – 400 applications on one job posting alone. Only one person is going to get the job so competition is severe.
It's crucial to know the right strategies
Knowing how to approach the job market from different angles when one strategy is not working, is critical. Most people don’t know either how to write a cover letter and a CV that stands out.
How we do it today is very different to how we did it a couple of years ago. Most recruiters (internal or external) are using very sophisticated screening technologies and they are improving at an accelerating pace.
CV reading robots should not be hindered by the use of graphics and images on a CV.
Additionally, no job seeker should accept a screening call and start a conversation without having the job listing and their application notes in front of them. An applicant should not wing a screening call if they want to increase their chance of moving forward to the interview stage.
Job seekers need to know the right strategies and what to say and do in different situations.
The market has changed
In the past 10 years, we have seen many changes to how job seekers should approach the job market, although nothing is more significant than what has occured in the last couple years. The approach has changed profoundly.
Our outplacement program now incorporates Online Marketing – and that is unique.
Case study
We were working with a candidate – and for the past 3 months he had sent off approximately 80 applications. He only received a few phone calls, no interviews, no job offers.
He was getting desperate – Financial stress was building up – as he had a family with a young son. Recently he had also bought a house.
So, we decided to send out 1000 emails to hiring managers (outside SEEK or any other job board). We wanted to get in through the back door – directly to senior management.
461 emails were opened according to our email tracker
Eleven managers came back within 24 hours asking for the CV and requested an interview. Few people – have had that many opportunities to choose from in one go.
To get this result we incorporated 6 different online marketing tools
The good thing is that these tools are available to anyone who participates in our programs – regardless of their location or their seniority of employment.
The aim of the program is to assist people into new employment as quickly as possible.
Competitive advantage
Most of the people we work with believe that they will be able to use these online tools after they have secured their new job
No only benefiting themselves - but also their new employer.
This is the kind of result we aim for.
I am happy to tell you more about our outplacement and career management program.
You can then decide if what we offer is a good fit for you. At the end of the day this is your decision.
