What our Clients Say

In 2023, a US-headquartered pharmaceutical company made the difficult decision to relocate all of its operations from its manufacturing facility in Cork, resulting in around 100 employee redundancies.

The announcement was a shock to the Cork based employees and the organisation wanted to ensure the full team was supported throughout the transition process. Fastnet designed an outplacement programme to meet the unique needs of the Cork team, ensuring comprehensive support for all affected employees.

The programme was seamlessly delivered over an agreed time period with many team members successfully navigating the next step in their career.

Client Testimonial:

"Following the announcement of our Sites Closure in late 2023 we immediately turned our attention to looking after all our Colleagues impacted by the devastating news. When it came to supporting the team with Outplacement services we turned to Fastnet Talent.  The decision to engage their services made perfect sense for us as they are a leading supplier of support and services in this area and also had the advantage of being local and very knowledgeable on the marketplace and career opportunities.

The decision to work with the Fastnet Outplacement team was the right one and the assigned professional was most helpful and supportive to all who availed of the service. The most gratifying aspect for us was the fact that all of our Colleagues landed new and meaningful opportunities and many team members shared their positive experience on how they felt cared for and supported. I would recommend any employers facing this scenario to factor Outplacement Support into the process and in particular I would recommend the Fastnet Talent Outplacement Team."
