It seems that they DON'T REALLY have true outplacement; they DO HAVE resume help. They told our HR that they could build anything we wanted but, when we asked about their staff of trained and experienced career counselors, THEY HAD NONE!

Careerbuilder and Jobing.com are also offering the same thing. CBTransitions and Outplacing.com (http://www.cbtransitions.com/ and http://outplacing.com/.) It seems to me to be a good way for them to try to limit the amount of contracts being cancelled becuase their clients are laying people off. Now they can offer to convert the dollars to this new service to keep their client's money. Of course, if you read the comments regarding these companies' own layoffs then it would seem they have a lot to learn about outplacement and may not have the expertise to offer any real value. I wonder if any of those who commented (212 comments)on CB giving them the Ax would respond and tell the Cheezhead community if their former employer helped them with their career transition?
