QuickStart
Working with HR Directors to manage their redundancy programmes, we’ve developed a quick and effective way to help displaced managers accelerate their move into a new position as a cost-effective alternative to outplacement.
What is QuickStart?
QuickStart gives displaced managers the opportunity to determine their options and kick-start their networks. A half day One to One session with a consultant can provide the injection of pace and direction that is needed.
In a couple of short, focussed sessions QuickStart provides people with a solid toolbox, such as a great CV and sharpened interview technique, so that every meeting counts during this period of heavy competition for jobs.
The methodology
We will meet you to talk through your needs and design a project plan that suits you. This is a flexible process developed according to your situation and what you need to achieve.
Typically the process includes:
- Preparing the manager for interview against an assignment brief appropriate for their experience. The brief will be supplied to the manager in advance of the meeting
- Exploring alternative options to make use of transferable skills
- Formal interview with the manager as a candidate for the assignment.
- Delivery of constructive feedback. Time spent discussing their career direction, practical ways to improve preparation and performance, methods to increase their networks, how to approach an application and how to deliver the wow factor at interview
- Ongoing advice over phone/email as needed
The results
Feedback from programmes tells us that people appreciate talking with an experienced headhunter. They feel valued and appreciated by their employers, despite their redundancy.
The benefits are numerous:
Senior individuals remain positively engaged with your business and are more likely to perform well while they exit your business, finding it easier to transition from your business into a new role quickly.
They are more likely to find a position that will further their career rather than plug the gap.
While they’re developing their career the door will be kept open through us, meaning that your business will benefit when you’re in a position to bring them back into your team.
What's in it for us?
While we’re getting to know your senior managers we’re also getting to know your business. You may not be looking for executives right now, but when the time comes to add weight to your strategic leadership team you’ll have a partner who already understands your business to help you win the war on securing the best talent.
