Insurance Outplacement

Protecting reputation while supporting professional transitions

Fractional Recruiting specializes exclusively in the Canadian Property & Casualty insurance market, supporting insurers, brokerages, and MGAs with senior-level hiring decisions.

Most organizations do not provide formal outplacement support for professionals below the manager level. When workforce changes occur, this often leaves employees unsupported — and employers exposed.

In a small, interconnected insurance market, how departures are handled matters. Poorly managed exits create unnecessary legal risk, damage employer reputation, and affect future hiring far beyond the individuals involved.  Insurance outplacement exists to reduce those risks.

Unmanaged exits increase legal exposure
Without structured support, displaced employees are more likely to pursue legal remedies, even when terminations are justified.

Reputation damage in a small talent market
Insurance professionals talk. How people leave an organization influences how future candidates perceive it.

HR absorbs avoidable emotional and administrative burden
Without external support, HR teams manage both logistics and employee distress during already sensitive situations.

Cost avoidance creates greater downstream cost
What feels like savings upfront often results in higher legal fees, longer vacancies, and reputational repair later.

These are not HR failures. They are predictable outcomes of unsupported transitions.

Insurance outplacement provides displaced professionals with structured, practical support to secure their next role — while giving employers a defensible, professional process for managing exits.

Support is delivered by an insurance recruiter with deep sector knowledge, not a generic career coach. Guidance is grounded in how hiring actually works in the Canadian P&C market.

Each participant receives one-on-one, hands-on support tailored to their experience level, including:

• Résumé and cover letter optimization aligned to insurance hiring standards 
• LinkedIn profile refinement and job-search positioning 
• Interview preparation focused on insurance-specific evaluation 
• Job-search strategy grounded in real market behavior 
• Ongoing guidance to navigate the transition professionally and confidently
   

The focus is practical: shorten time to next role and reduce uncertainty.

For senior leaders, extended support is available over six months, including:

• Six 45-minute one-on-one coaching sessions 
• Full résumé and LinkedIn redevelopment 
• Targeted outreach to 8–12 relevant industry contacts 
• Up to four mock interviews
   

This program is designed for leaders who require active, personalized support while maintaining momentum and discretion.

Outplacement support costs less than one week of salary for most professionals and is straightforward to justify relative to legal, reputational, and rehiring risk.

By investing modestly at the point of exit, organizations:

• Reduce legal exposure 
• Protect employer brand 
• Demonstrate professionalism and fairness 
• Preserve standing in a small industry market
   

This is not a benefit. It is risk management.

• P&C insurers, brokerages, and MGAs 
• HR teams managing workforce changes 
• Organizations seeking to reduce legal and reputational risk 
• Employers who want departures handled professionally
   

If you are managing workforce changes in the Canadian P&C insurance sector and want to reduce risk while supporting affected employees, we can help.
