Outplacement has had its day.
Traditional outplacement — a portal login, a CV template, a few group calls — was never built for an AI-shaped market. Hireovate is the modern alternative for employers in Ireland and the UK: recruiter-grade market intelligence, practical AI-era tools and experienced human guidance that help the people you’re letting go leave ready to compete, and keep your employer brand intact.

The ROI of Defensible Support
Example: a 15-person impacted cohort can receive a full AI Career Readiness Sprint plus 45-day guided Career Offensive support for €41,250. That equips each person with AI tools, market intelligence, target-company mapping, outreach strategy, and execution checkpoints — at a lower cost than many traditional senior outplacement programmes, while delivering a more practical, active job-search system.
Launch pricing is available for a limited number of early company partners while we refine the model. Standard enterprise pricing applies thereafter. Please get in touch to discuss your cohort.
* Pricing depends on cohort size and seniority; Senior Director-level and above transition to the bespoke Executive Command tier.
Your people are leaving.
Make sure they leave ready.
A practical one-day programme that equips transitioning employees with AI tools, career intelligence, and a structured job search plan — so they land faster and your employer brand stays intact.
Outplacement hasn't kept up.
Most transition support still looks the way it did in 2015. Generic CV workshops. Group sessions on “networking.” A portal login that nobody uses after week two.
Meanwhile, the job market has fundamentally changed. AI is embedded in how companies screen, assess, and hire. Candidates who can’t use modern tools are falling behind — not because they lack experience, but because they lack fluency.
Your departing employees don’t need motivation talks. They need practical skills, working tools, and a system they can execute from day one.
One day. Three AI agents.
A complete job search system.
The Hireovate AI Career Readiness Sprint is a facilitated, hands-on workshop for groups of professionals navigating career transition. Delivered in person or remotely, it compresses weeks of fragmented preparation into a single, structured day.
Participants don’t just learn about AI — they build with it using enterprise-grade LLMs including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. By 4:30 pm, every person in the room has three working AI career agents, an improved CV, a stronger LinkedIn profile, a company research dossier, interview preparation, and a personal action plan with deadlines.
This is not a lecture. It is not a webinar. It is five hours of guided, practical work with a facilitator who has spent 25 years hiring at the companies your people want to work for.
What every participant leaves with.
Personal Career Coach Agent
An AI assistant pre-loaded with their CV, target roles, and career context — persistent across every conversation. Like having a recruiter on call 24/7.
Company Research Agent
A reusable prompt that produces a structured company dossier in 90 seconds. Run it five times a week — 25 dossiers in a month.
Mock Interview Agent
An AI interviewer that asks realistic questions, waits for answers, gives honest feedback, and scores each response out of 10.
Improved CV & LinkedIn
A rewritten CV summary aligned to their target role and three LinkedIn headline options — built during the workshop using their own materials.
Interview & Outreach Prep
A company brief, predicted questions, a STAR answer, and a personalised outreach message — for a real target company.
Personal AI Career Action Plan
Target roles, workflows, tools, agents, and 10 specific actions with deadlines. The system that turns today’s energy into next week’s results.
The day at a glance.
In Person
Your office or offsite venue. Facilitator travels to you. Best for cohorts who benefit from shared energy and real-time coaching.
Remote
Delivered live via Zoom or Google Meetings. Same content, same exercises, same facilitator attention. Best for distributed teams or multi-site restructures.
Built for employers who take transition seriously.
Companies managing a restructure
You’re reducing headcount and you want to do it well. The AI Sprint gives departing employees practical tools and genuine career momentum. Your people leave equipped. Your employer brand leaves intact.
HR and People teams
You need transition support that’s modern, practical, and credible. The AI Sprint slots into your existing redundancy programme as a standalone day or a complement to coaching and outplacement.
Outplacement and career transition firms
You have the coaching and emotional support. What you don’t have is a structured AI readiness module. The AI Sprint plugs that gap — white-label it, co-deliver it, or refer your clients to us.
VC and PE portfolio talent teams
When a portfolio company restructures, your reputation travels with the departing employees. The AI Sprint protects that reputation by giving impacted people something genuinely useful.
Led by a recruiter, not a trainer.
The AI Sprint is facilitated by Declan Fitzgerald — founder of Hireovate and a 25-year executive recruitment leader. Declan has hired thousands of professionals across Microsoft, HubSpot, Meta, LinkedIn, and multiple startups.
He has been made redundant three times and led teams through reductions three times. This programme is delivered by someone who has been on both sides of the table — who knows what hiring managers actually look for, how AI is changing the process, and what separates candidates who land from those who drift.
Everything in one engagement.
- Full-day facilitated workshop (10:00 am – 4:30 pm)
- Digital workbook with all prompts, agent guides, and templates
- Anonymised post-programme feedback summary
- Certificate of completion for each participant (on request)
- Responsible AI guidance aligned to EU AI Act principles
Common questions.
Is there a minimum number of participants required?
Yes, there is a minimum of 10 people required to attend to run an AI Sprint class.
Do participants need any technical background?
No. The programme is designed for non-technical professionals. Everything is taught from scratch, and every tool used is free.
What do participants need to bring?
A laptop or tablet, a copy of their CV (digital), and one job description for a role they’re interested in. Everything else is provided.
Can we run this for multiple cohorts?
Yes. Many employers run the AI Sprint for each wave of a restructure. We offer discounted pricing for repeat bookings — get in touch to discuss.
Can you deliver alongside our existing outplacement provider?
Absolutely. The AI Sprint complements coaching and outplacement by adding a practical AI skills layer that most providers don’t offer. We’re happy to coordinate.
Can you customise for our industry or team?
Yes. For cohorts of 15 or more, we tailor examples, target companies, and exercises to your sector and the seniority level of participants. Customisation is included in the cohort price.
What happens after the AI Sprint?
Participants who want deeper, individualised market intelligence can upgrade to Hireovate’s Market Scan or Transition Advisory services at a preferred rate.

Outplacement in Ireland & the UK — common questions.
What is outplacement?
Outplacement is the support an employer provides to departing employees to help them find their next role. Traditionally that means a career portal, CV templates and a few group coaching sessions — a model built for a slower job market that, for most senior people, no longer does enough.
What is the modern alternative to outplacement?
Hireovate. Instead of a passive portal, departing employees get a personalised Market Scan of where they fit and who is hiring, practical AI career tools built in a one-day Sprint, and guidance from a recruiter with 25 years’ experience — so they leave with real momentum, not just a login.
Do you provide outplacement support in Ireland and the UK?
Yes. Hireovate works with employers across Ireland, the UK and the US. The AI Career Readiness Sprint is delivered in person or live online, so distributed and multi-site teams are fully covered.
How is Hireovate different from traditional outplacement?
Traditional outplacement helps people process the exit. Hireovate helps them compete — with recruiter-grade market intelligence, warm routes into roles before they are advertised, and AI tools they actually use. The result is a working job-search system, not a resource library.
How much does outplacement cost with Hireovate?
It depends on cohort size and format. As an example, a 15-person impacted cohort can receive a full AI Career Readiness Sprint plus 45 days of guided support for €41,250 — often below traditional senior outplacement, while delivering a more practical, active job search. Get in touch for a quote for your team.
Can you work alongside our existing outplacement provider?
Yes. The AI Sprint complements coaching and outplacement by adding a practical AI-readiness layer most providers don’t offer. We are happy to co-deliver or slot in as a standalone module.
