Our Work in Action
Case studies demonstrating the results of our career solutions
Helping a Global FTSE100 Company Navigate Career Transition
A global FTSE100 company faced the challenge of making hundreds of staff redundant. They recognised the importance of providing best-in-class outplacement support and, as a global brand, sought a solution that would ease the transition for departing employees while protecting their employer brand and maintaining morale among remaining staff.
They knew that providing professional career transition support would demonstrate their commitment to employee well-being and ensure a smoother redundancy process.
CVIA was engaged to design and deliver a comprehensive, multi-faceted outplacement programme tailored to the diverse needs of hundreds of employees across multiple job functions and seniority levels.
Our team conducted a thorough needs assessment and collaborated closely with HR leaders to develop a structured yet flexible proposal.
Our programme included a blend of 1-2-1 coaching, group workshops, and access to our industry-leading career portal, ensuring that every individual received the right level of support for their unique circumstances.
What the Programme Included
Over the course of the programme, we delivered dozens of workshops, both in person and online, across seven key areas:
Career Planning: Helping employees define their career goals and identify opportunities that align with their skills and ambitions.
Advanced CV Writing: Guiding participants through the latest best practices for crafting compelling CVs that pass ATS filters and appeal to hiring managers.
LinkedIn for Job Seekers: Teaching individuals how to optimise their LinkedIn profiles, expand their networks, and attract recruiters.
Navigating the Job Market: Equipping attendees with modern job search strategies, including direct applications, networking, and leveraging headhunters.
Personal Branding & Thought Leadership: Helping professionals establish their industry presence and differentiate themselves from other candidates.
Starting a Portfolio Career: Advising those interested in self-employment, freelancing, or transitioning into consultancy roles.
Interview Techniques: Providing strategies for excelling in competency-based interviews, video interviews, and salary negotiations.
Each workshop incorporated real-world case studies and interactive exercises, ensuring that participants gained actionable strategies that aligned with today’s fast-moving job market.
Impact: High Reemployment Success Rates
The results of our outplacement programme were exceptional. Most participants secured new roles within weeks of leaving the organisation, demonstrating the effectiveness of our structured support.
Key outcomes included:
Rapid reemployment: A significant percentage of participants found new opportunities faster than expected.
Enhanced confidence: Employees left the programme feeling more equipped to navigate their next career move.
Positive employer perception: The company reinforced its reputation as a responsible employer committed to its people’s success.
Conclusion: A Best-Practice Approach to Career Transition
Our work with this global FTSE100 company exemplifies how modern, cutting-edge career transition support can significantly ease the impact of redundancy for employees while safeguarding an organisation’s reputation. By combining bespoke coaching, industry-leading content, and digital tools, The CV & Interview Advisors continue to set the standard for high-impact outplacement services.

Supporting a National Veterinary Business Through Organisational Change
A national veterinary business underwent an operational restructure that resulted in 20 employees being displaced across a range of clinical, administrative, and customer-facing roles. The organisation recognised the importance of providing compassionate, structured outplacement support to ensure staff were equipped for a smooth transition into new opportunities.
Our engagement began with a detailed needs analysis for each participant. This helped us understand their career goals, confidence levels, transferable skills, and any sector transitions they wished to explore. The insights gathered shaped each individual’s personalised career support plan.
What the Programme Included
All 20 employees received a consistent outplacement package designed to give them clarity, confidence, and practical tools for their next step.
CV and LinkedIn Appraisal: Each participant received a professional appraisal of their CV and LinkedIn profile to ensure their achievements, strengths, and experience were clearly communicated and aligned with current market expectations.
90-Minute Tailored Career Coaching: Every individual had access to a 90-minute 1-2-1 coaching session, tailored to whatever area would benefit them most. This could include career direction, job search planning, confidence building, interview guidance, or exploring alternative pathways — all informed by the initial needs analysis.
Three Months of Digital Career Resources: Participants were given three months’ access to the Career Enhancement Network, our exclusive online portal offering over 250 career support and development resources, including video tutorials, articles, and guides. This provided ongoing structure and support beyond coaching.
Optional Additional Services: For individuals wanting further personalised help, discounted self-pay services were made available. (Mentioned as an optional extension — not sold heavily, simply presented as further support where needed.)
Conclusion: A Supported, Positive Transition
Throughout the support package, participants reported feeling more prepared and confident in navigating their next career step. The structured support helped them:
Strengthen their professional profiles (CV & LinkedIn)
Gain clarity about suitable opportunities
Approach the job market with greater confidence
Feel genuinely supported by their employer during a difficult period
The veterinary business reinforced its reputation as a responsible and employee-focused organisation by investing in a high-quality, people-first outplacement solution.

This assessment formed the basis of a personalised career roadmap for every individual.
What the Programme Included

The services included:
Tailored 1-2-1 career coaching
CV writing

Interview coaching
Job search guidance
Support for individuals seeking contract or self-employed roles
One year of follow-up support to ensure beneficiaries received continued guidance throughout their career transition

Increasing clarity around suitable career paths
Providing structured support during a difficult period
Helping individuals secure employment, contract work, or take meaningful steps towards self-employment
