Outplacement
In partnership with Career Candor, a trusted outplacement and career coaching firm, we provide compassionate, strategic support to employees impacted by layoffs and workforce changes, helping you protect your people, your culture, and your brand during challenging times.
When change is necessary, your people still come first.
At Blackwell HR, we understand that layoffs and organizational shifts can be some of the most difficult decisions a company faces. That's why we've partnered with Career Candor — a trusted outplacement and career coaching firm — to offer compassionate, effective support for employees affected by workforce transitions.
Together, we help provide human-centered outplacement services that empower your departing employees to move forward with clarity and confidence, while also protecting your company’s culture, reputation, and integrity.
Supporting employees through transition isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a smart investment in your people and your company. Companies that invest in outplacement see higher morale among remaining employees, reduced legal risk, and a stronger employer brand long after a layoff.
Through this partnership, your organization:
Demonstrates empathy and leadership in moments of change
Helps employees land on their feet with professional, guided support
Protects morale among remaining team members
Reduces legal and reputational risk
Promotes a positive culture, even during change
What is Outplacement?
Support that honors the whole journey, not just the job.
Outplacement is a service provided by employers to help employees who have been laid off or displaced find new opportunities more quickly. Instead of leaving employees to navigate the job market alone, outplacement offers professional career coaching, job search support, and personalized tools to help them transition into new roles.
For employers, it’s a meaningful way to show continued care for people, even after they leave the company, while reducing reputational and legal risks.
Career Candor specializes in outplacement services for small and mid-sized businesses, offering the same high-quality, personalized support typically reserved for large corporations at a fraction of the cost.
Their certified career advisors provide:
One-on-one coaching and career transition guidance
Resume and LinkedIn optimization
Interview preparation and job search strategy
Connections to recruiting agencies, health insurance brokers, and financial advisors
A library of hundreds of how-to guides, recorded webinars, templates, and more
Continued support until placement
Every participant receives personalized attention and 24/7 access to their career advisor
