Are you a Business?

I work with organisations and can liaise with individuals direct if preferred to provide a bespoke Outplacement support service for those who may be facing organisational change or redundancy.  Group Workshops – half or full day can also be provided.

Individual follow-up sessions can be arranged as a bespoke package for staff to discuss any aspect of their job search campaign and address personal issues.  It is often the case that if the individual has not been able to find a new job after searching for a number of weeks, they can often get despondent and need the most help.  This could include regular telephone contact to monitor progress, discuss issues arising from the job search and provide support throughout the agreed period.

Please contact me so we can agree a quotation based on your needs.

Case Study

I would not hesitate to recommend Stella and Bill for similar activities.

During 2020, Stannah undertook a significant re-structure across its various operating companies. This resulted in 75 roles being made redundant. Being a family run business with deeply held values, we wanted to ensure that every employee affected was well cared for through enhanced redundancy packages and highly supportive outplacement services.

Stella and Bill Marshall were recommended to ourselves via a colleague at Paris Smith Solicitors. On meeting with them we knew that they would be an excellent fit for our organisation’s needs. Focused, but empathic; technically skilled, but open to suggestions to address the brief we presented. It is fair to say that, paraphrasing the words of the Grail Knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade….. ‘We chose wisely’.

A fantastic approach to our affected employees meant that 85% of those undertaking the outplacement workshops found alternative employment within a couple of months of attending. This being against a backdrop of Covid-19.

I would not hesitate to recommend Stella and Bill for similar activities.

I engaged Stella to help make my CV and Linked In page more attractive to potential employers and to provide support with job search and interview techniques. Her excellent work has paid dividends and I’ve been offered an exciting new opportunity within 2 weeks of going live. I can highly recommend her for all things HR.

I went to Stella for advice and help with my CV and Interview preparation as I was looking for new employment. After taking on board all of Stella’s tips and completely reconstructing my CV I was in disbelief of the response I received from employers.

Stella was approachable, easy to understand and full of great helpful tips that I packed in to preparation for an interview. Within 3 days of putting my new CV format out to employers I was asked for interview and started the new role the day after.

Stella filled me with confidence that enabled me to project this at interview. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you wanted fast results with great advice

I am most grateful to Stella for completely revamping my 7 page CV (!). I now have a highly professional and impressive looking 2 page CV, in which Stella has highlighted my key skills and attributes. Having recently changed jobs, I sent out my new CV with job applications and I know that the CV, as well as my completed applications helped secure interviews for all of the jobs that I applied for.

Should I change jobs again, I am thankful to have such an excellent CV template to update and adapt myself, thanks to Stella’s hard work, knowledge and experience! Thank You!

Anon , HR Manager April 2019

Stella and I first met through a networking group and I quickly found her to be a credible and authentic HR professional with a wealth of experience and knowledge.

When I found myself looking to move on to my next role, having been with a company for 12 years, I was daunted by how to present myself to my future employer in my CV. Stella came to the rescue! She helped me reshape my CV to attract the type of employer I wanted to work for, highlighted skills that I had played down and gave me a CV that I was proud to send out but importantly was still me.

Every job I applied for using that CV I was invited to interview for and I had a new job within 8 weeks of beginning my search. I could not recommend Stella enough and am very grateful to her.
