With the dramatic increase in companies announcing redundancies, IrishJobs.ie has introduced a new online outplacement service to its subscribers called Horizon, which aims to provide support and advice for companies and their employees faced with a redundancy situation.
Companies who subscribe to the service on behalf of their employees will receive support and guidance on how to cope with redundancy as well as assistance in getting back into the workforce, with advice on interviews and salary negotiations. Individuals affected by redundancies can avail of CV templates to help build their draft CV, and then professional editors will give their CV a make-over.
Horizon helps jobseekers be continually pro-active in their search by giving them a secure online personal account where they can manage and update their CV and apply for jobs. By signing up for job alerts, they will be notified when suitable jobs come up. Also by posting their new CV on the IrishJobs.ie CV database, potential employers can find them easily.
Horizon also acts as a valuable support service for company management dealing with the pressure of redundancies, by assisting them in offering support to individuals as they go through the redundancy process.
Jane Lorigan, Managing Director, IrishJobs.ie, said: ìWe are currently going through a very challenging period for both employers and their employees. Redundancies are on the increase and there is a real need at this time for a cost effective outplacement service that is affordable for any company. Horizon gives employers the chance to maintain goodwill with those facing redundancies, and more importantly provides those being made redundant with help and support. We trust that Horizon will provide honest, professional advice for both employers and employees when it is most needed.ì
