Career Star Group is the only credible operator with a distinctive ability to match global and local requirements.

Downsizing and Transition Consulting

When companies downsize, people who see their career vanish are often put into emotionally difficult and financially inconvenient circumstances.  The situation can be traumatic and disturbing for both displaced employees and your current employees who keep their jobs.  Our Outplacement services for lost employees ensures that morale of remaining staff is maintained by demonstrating concern for those leaving.  As well, the company's image in the community and industry is preserved -- an important factor in Asia.  Wasteful legal actions that are more destructive to the ex-employee than the former employer can also be avoided or tempered when caring outplacement services are provided.  

Outplacement is a service that provides immediate support and practical assistance to a displaced employee.  The process is controlled by the displaced professional for his or her benefit.  Our service can be as systematic or informal as desired.  We also provide support and advice during the immediate post-termination period.

By using our Outplacement services, the risk and trauma associated with a restructuring program can be minimized and employee morale maintained.  You and your company will be seen to have acted in a sensible and caring manner.  A powerful message is provided to your employees, your community and your customers regarding what you think about and how you treat your people throughout Asia.

Our Outplacement program includes:

1. Create an Individualized Career Plan

One of our senior partners will meet with each displaced employee to learn about his or her background and desires for future activities.  We will help the person determine his or her job related strengths and weaknesses, career/personal aspirations and goals, and overall skills and abilities.  The displaced employee will be assisted to create a career plan in order that achievable professional goals can be established.  Entrepreneurial considerations will be explored as well. 

2. Build a Career Marketing Portfolio

It is important that proper documents be created and collected that will substantiate the person's past achievements.  As part of this, his or her resume should be understandable, complete and written in a manner that is both readable and marketable. 

3. Interviewing and Job Search Guidance

Most people undergo employer interviews rarely in their lives.  It is understandable, therefore, that most people's interviewing skills can be improved upon.  We will ensure that the displaced employees are prepared for the toughest management cross-examinations by having them undergo mock interviews with our senior staff.  We will critique the person interview skills and make suggestions for improvement.  We will also ensure that the person is aware of all of the methods and sources available to reach potential employers within his or her home country and their region. 

4. Target and Approach Employers

Our senior staff are actively involved in the business of recruiting and placing staff throughout the Asia Pacific region and the world.  They have developed personal relationships with senior level managers of many of the most active hiring companies in various countries.  On behalf of the displaced employees, we are prepared to approach hiring managers proactively and make personal recommendations.  If the job-hunter wishes to approach certain employers on his own, we will provide intelligence information about the company's hiring practices and projects.  Lastly, should the candidate be interested in pursuing opportunities outside of his or her home country or emigrating to a new country, we will advise on how to proceed with this option.
