When redundancies are unavoidable, how you support people matters. Prosperity Careers provides expert-led outplacement services for Irish employers who want to help affected employees move forward with clarity, confidence and practical job-search support.
Our programmes combine career coaching, CV and LinkedIn development, interview preparation, job-market guidance and structured support — giving employees the tools they need to take the next step.
For employers, outplacement is a practical way to protect people, reduce uncertainty, support morale and demonstrate that the organisation is handling change responsibly.
Redundancy is not just an operational process. For the people affected, it can be unsettling, emotional and deeply personal.
Even experienced professionals can find themselves unsure how to position their experience, explain the change, approach the market, update their CV, improve their LinkedIn profile or prepare for interviews.
Our outplacement services are designed to make that transition easier.
We help employees:
Understand their options and define their next career direction
Rebuild confidence after redundancy
Create a strong, market-ready CV
Improve their LinkedIn profile and visibility
Develop a clear personal positioning statement
Prepare for interviews with structure and confidence
Build a practical job-search strategy
Access the hidden job market through networking and direct approaches
Manage applications, recruiter conversations and employer interviews
Move forward with a sense of control and momentum
For employers managing redundancies, outplacement support can make a significant difference to how the process is experienced. It shows affected employees that they are not being left to navigate the job market alone. It also reassures remaining employees that people are being treated with care and professionalism.
Outplacement can help employers:
Support employees through a difficult career transition
Protect employer brand and reputation
Reduce anxiety among affected and remaining staff
Demonstrate responsible redundancy management
Provide practical support beyond statutory requirements
Help employees re-enter the job market more quickly
Maintain trust during organisational change
Give HR teams a structured support option during redundancy programmes
Handled well, outplacement is not just a benefit for departing employees. It is part of a humane, professional approach to organisational change.
Prosperity Careers offers structured career transition programmes for employees at different levels, from early-career professionals to senior executives. Each programme can be adapted to the needs of the individual and the organisation. Support may include:
We help participants understand where they are now, where they want to go next and how to present their experience in a compelling way. This includes career direction, transferable skills, target roles, sector options and a clear personal narrative.
A strong CV is still one of the most important tools in any job search. We help participants create a clear, confident and achievement-led CV that reflects their experience and positions them effectively for the roles they want.
LinkedIn is often the first place recruiters, hiring managers and employers look. We help participants improve their profile, headline, summary, experience section and overall positioning so they are easier to find and more credible when viewed.
Many people approach the job market reactively. We help them build a more focused and structured plan. This may include target companies, recruiter engagement, networking, direct approaches, application tracking and weekly action planning.
We help participants prepare for interviews with confidence.
This includes answering common and difficult questions, structuring examples, explaining redundancy positively, using the STAR method and preparing for competency-based interviews.
Not every opportunity is advertised. We help participants understand how to approach their network, build new contacts, use LinkedIn effectively and create conversations that may lead to opportunities.
Where appropriate, we support participants as they move through final interview stages, offers, negotiation and decision-making.
Our outplacement services are suitable for organisations making one role redundant or managing a wider redundancy programme.
We can support:
Individual employees
Small groups
Senior executives
Marketing, digital, commercial, creative and technology professionals
Employees returning to the job market after long service
Teams affected by restructuring
Organisations that want a more personal alternative to generic outplacement platforms
We can also create tailored programmes for specific groups, seniority levels or sectors.
Redundancy support needs to be more than a login to a portal. People need practical tools, but they also need reassurance, momentum and expert guidance from someone who understands the market. Our approach is:
Depending on the programme selected, participants may receive:
One-to-one career coaching
CV review and rewrite support
LinkedIn profile review and optimisation
Career positioning work
Job-search strategy
Interview coaching
Application support
Networking guidance
Recruiter and hiring-manager advice
Practical templates and resources
Follow-up support and accountability
The goal is to help each person leave the programme with a stronger sense of direction and a better chance of securing the right next role.
Senior employees often need a more discreet and strategic form of support.
At executive level, the job search can be less visible, more network-led and more dependent on positioning, reputation and carefully managed conversations.
Our executive outplacement support can include:
Senior career positioning
Executive CV development
LinkedIn and personal brand refinement
Board, advisory or consultancy positioning
Recruiter and headhunter approach strategy
Interview preparation for senior-level processes
Support with career pivots or portfolio careers
Negotiation and offer guidance
This support is especially useful for senior professionals who may not have been active in the job market for many years
For HR teams, redundancy programmes can be demanding. There are legal, operational, emotional and reputational considerations. Outplacement provides a clear and practical support pathway for affected employees.
We can work alongside HR teams to provide:
Our aim is to make the process easier for both the employer and the employee.

CV and LinkedIn optimisation
Interview preparation
Job-market insight
Practical support for employees
