Outplacement: Helping Your Ex-Employees Secure Enhanced Salary Packages

Reasons To Be Cheerful - Part 1 (of 2)

Losing your job is an extremely traumatic event; however, Connor has nearly two decades experience of turning this into a positive by helping people quickly secure their next role, in many instances on better terms and conditions than their previous role!

How do you do that in the current job market I hear you ask? In two ways:

Firstly, our proactive approach to job hunting cuts out the competition and avoids the need to pay agency fees, meaning that there is more money “on the table” when it comes to negotiating the salary package.

Secondly, we show your people how to negotiate better terms to increase their initial offer and we work with them to put more money into their pocket.

Most organisations have “Refer a Friend Schemes” with the popular perception that employers do so solely in order to find quality, referred staff. Although this is partly true, by far the biggest driver is to avoid paying recruitment agency fees! There are two reasons for this 1) recruitment agencies are expensive, charging 15-25% of basic salary 2) in a “buyers” recruitment market employers are increasingly seeking to avoid paying these fees they don’t have to!

We show your people that there is a hidden cost to them using recruitment agencies and by working with Connor we can help them easily target potential employers directly, thereby cutting out the agencies. Not only does this make your people more attractive to potential employers as there is no “agency bounty” on their head, it also significantly increases the likelihood of negotiating an enhanced package. Remember that it is cheaper for a company to hire a person on £40K who has approached them direct, than it is to hire someone on £35K via a recruitment agency!

This is just ONE of the ways that we help your people secure new roles with enhanced salary packages.
