Made redundant

You’ve just been made redundant.
Here’s what to do first.

Practical, no sympathy-voice, and one thing most people don’t know to ask for. Written by someone who was made redundant in October 2025 and built this afterwards.

Every application, the CV we sent, and why we matched it. One honest update a day.
First things first

The one thing most people don’t know to ask for

You’ve probably just been handed a lot of information at once, most of it about process, almost none of it about what happens next for you.

1

Ask whether outplacement is on the table

Many employers will fund job-search support for people leaving, and it is very often written into a settlement agreement as a non-cash term. It costs nothing to ask, and the answer is yes more often than people expect — particularly if you ask before the paperwork is signed.

If your employer is willing, send them our employers page. We deal with them directly and you never see an invoice.

Ask before you sign
2

Don’t start firing off applications tonight

The instinct is to send fifty the same evening, with the CV you already had. It is the worst possible use of the only advantage you have right now, which is that you are early. A role gets most of its serious reads in the first 24 to 72 hours — and an untailored CV is invisible in that window however fast it arrives.

Early beats loud
3

Your notice period is the runway

If you are still being paid, that is the cheapest time to run a proper search — and the time almost nobody does, because the admin is exhausting and the last thing you want after a redundancy meeting is a form. That is precisely the part we take.

Use it while it lasts
What we do

You hand it over, and it keeps running

  • Every working day, we find live roles and score each against your real experience
  • Your CV rebuilt for every single one — never sent unchanged
  • A person checks each application before it goes out in your name
  • Typically 120–200 applications a month
  • Boards and company portals, including the slow ones bots skip
  • A dashboard refreshed every working day
  • An interview playbook the moment one lands
  • Cancel the day you’re hired. No notice period, no fuss
If your employer will fund it

We run six-month programmes for employers, 450 applications per person pooled across everyone leaving. If there is a group of you that is almost always the better route — and it is free to you. Point your HR contact at our employers page, or tell us and we will make the approach ourselves.

Honestly

What we can’t do

We can’t promise you a job

Nobody honest can. Hiring decisions belong entirely to employers. What we commit to is the work: your search run every working day, typically 120–200 properly-matched applications a month, and no padding when the market is quiet.

We can’t sit in the room

The interview stays yours — and it is the part almost everyone is actually good at. What breaks people is the four months of forms in between. We take that.

If today isn’t a reading day

We made a record about this

Four tracks, eight minutes, in the order it actually happens. Track one is the meeting you have just had.

You rest. We apply. You interview.

Start with around 50 applications for £99 and see what comes back, or hand the whole search over from £199 a month. If your employer will fund it, send them to us instead.
