Oyster Recruitment launches service to help redundant workers

Dorset-based Oyster Recruitment has launched an outplacement service to help businesses support employees being made redundant because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to a press statement, the company is offering support for companies “which have reluctantly had to let people go due to the economic impact of the lockdown”. The bespoke new service provides personal and practical assistance for employees to help them face redundancy and find new jobs.

The service includes video calls and webinars with one-to-one and group sessions along with advice on CV writing, personal branding, mental and physical health, job searches, applications and video interviews.

Located in Poole, Oyster – no relation to Oyster Partnership – is owned and run by (below, left to right) Karen Brodie and Helen Purbrick.
