Executive Outplacement India

Outplacement is a career transition service that an employer provides to people leaving the organisation, usually in a redundancy or restructure. It includes career coaching, CV and LinkedIn rewriting, interview preparation and active job search support, helping departing employees land their next role faster while protecting the employer's reputation.

Atlass Partners has three outplacement packages. Select costs ₹35,000 retainer plus ₹15,000 per placement, for employees up to ₹30 LPA. Specialist costs ₹75,000 plus ₹25,000 per placement, for ₹30–75 LPA. Signature costs ₹1,50,000 plus 2% of the offered CTC, for employees above ₹75 LPA. The calculator on this page gives a total.

The employer pays, not the departing employee. Companies typically offer outplacement alongside a redundancy, restructure, merger or leadership exit, often as part of the severance package. Offering it early, at the point the decision is communicated, gives employees more time to search and reduces friction in the process.

The packages are matched to seniority. Select suits employees up to ₹30 LPA and typically runs 1–3 months. Specialist suits senior professionals and functional leaders at ₹30–75 LPA and runs 3–6 months. Signature is for CXO and board-level executives above ₹75 LPA and can run up to 12 months, with a focus on discretion and placement quality.

Career transition coaching covers defining career goals, executive CV and cover letter writing, a LinkedIn profile overhaul, personal brand development, mock interviews and interview coaching, job search strategy, salary negotiation guidance and ongoing advisory support. Participants get one-to-one coaching, and the programme continues until a placement is secured within the package term.

It depends on the package and the individual. Select engagements typically run 1–3 months, Specialist 3–6 months and Signature up to 12 months, with support continuing until a placement is secured within that term. Senior executives usually need longer because fewer roles are available at their level.

No. Outplacement is not legally mandatory in India. Notice, retrenchment compensation and settlement obligations come from labour law and the employment contract, and are separate from outplacement. Many employers add it as good practice because it supports departing employees, protects employer brand and tends to reduce disputes. Take legal advice on your specific restructure.

We can mobilise a programme within 24–48 hours of engagement. On day one participants receive programme materials and access to the coaching portal. A one-to-one coaching session is scheduled in the first week, and the CV rewrite is delivered within three business days. Speed matters in workforce transitions, so the programme is set up to move quickly.

It typically does. Employees who receive structured career support are less likely to raise disputes or complaints, and offering it shows good faith in the redundancy process. It also protects your employer brand in the talent markets you will keep hiring from, and helps retain morale and productivity among the staff who stay.

The success fee is charged only when a supported employee receives and accepts a confirmed job offer. It is combined with a fixed retainer per employee, so costs are predictable while a portion of the fee is tied directly to results. For Select and Specialist it is a fixed amount per placement; for Signature it is 2% of the offered CTC.

Atlass Partners reports that 85% of programme participants secure a new role within the programme duration, rising to 92% for director-level and above on 6-month programmes. We track placement outcomes and provide a placement report to the programme sponsor at the close of the programme.

Career coaching is usually self-funded by an individual who wants personal development and can run over a long period. Outplacement is employer-funded for employees leaving the company, so it is more targeted and time-sensitive, focused on securing the next role quickly and on managing the transition for both the employee and the employer.
