The Price of a Poor Exit
How you handle departures follows your company long after the conversation ends.
Employer Brand Damage
70% of job seekers read company reviews before applying. 83% say negative feedback from former employees influences their decision. One Glassdoor review from a bitter ex-employee can cost you your next great hire.
Litigation Exposure
Upset former employees file wrongful termination claims out of anger, even without legal merit. Outplacement support can reduce those claims by up to 72%
Survivor Guilt
Remaining employees watch how you treat people on the way out. 41% report lower job satisfaction and 30% higher voluntary turnover follows within 6 months of a poorly managed reduction.
Unemployment Costs
Every week a former employee stays on severance or draws unemployment adds to your claims history. Faster reemployment means lower premiums. Outplacement reduces time on severance by up to 60%.
A Better Goodbye Looks Like This.
HireReach Career Launch is not a resume workshop or a job board login. It is a done-for-them outreach campaign that puts your departing employees directly in front of hiring managers at companies looking for their skills.
Traditional outplacement teaches people how to fish. We hand them the rod, bait the hook, and cast the line.

What This Does for Your Organization
Protect employer brand
Departing employees who land faster leave better reviews. Candidates who see you invested in people on the way out want to work for you.
Reduce legal risk
Supported employees are less likely to pursue litigation. Career Launch demonstrates good faith and gives them something productive to focus on.
Stabilize the team
How you treat people leaving tells the people staying everything they need to know. This builds trust when it matters most.
Lower Unemployment Insurance Costs
Faster reemployment means fewer weeks on your claims history. That directly impacts your insurance premiums.
Keep the door open
Companies with strong outplacement programs see 24% rehire rates from former employees vs. 3% industry average. Alumni who left well come back.
