The problem

Traditional outplacement was not built for today's job market

Laid-off employees are entering a market shaped by AI, changing job descriptions, tighter hiring, and higher expectations. Many outplacement programs still rely on static portals, manual worksheets, generic webinars, and advice that does not feel current.

1

The advice feels outdated

Career guidance needs to reflect today's market — including AI, LinkedIn, recruiter search, and modern hiring expectations.

2

The tools are too manual

Employees should not have to connect worksheets, templates, job boards, resume files, and generic AI prompts on their own.

3

The support does not adapt

A long-tenured employee, a recent hire, a manager, and a career changer need very different help.

of HR leaders say they offer outplacement, but only 14% of employees say they know it exists.

Contextual

Cruit adapts to their role, experience level, target jobs, and confidence level.

How it works

How employees use Cruit

1

Ask for help

Employees start with a real question, not a blank template.

Example

"I was laid off. What should I do first?"

2

Share context

Cruit asks about their role, experience, goals, and the materials they need help with.

3

Create career assets

Employees build resumes, LinkedIn copy, interview answers, job search plans, and outreach messages.

4

Return when things change

They come back before interviews, after rejections, or when targeting new roles.

Optional

For pilots, Cruit can include a short optional onboarding session that shows employees how to use the conversational workspace, what to ask first, and how privacy works.

Reporting & privacy

Measure usage without reading private employee work

Cruit gives HR high-level reporting on usage and engagement while keeping employee career work private.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Cruit replacing human outplacement coaches?
No. Cruit can work as a digital layer before, between, or instead of coaching sessions. It helps employees take action immediately and gives HR more visibility into usage.
Cruit looks different from other career tools. Will employees know how to use it?
Cruit uses a conversational interface instead of menus and forms. Employees type what they need and Cruit guides them. Pilots can include a short optional onboarding session that walks employees through the experience and shows them what to ask first.
Can employees use Cruit privately?
Yes. Employees use Cruit for personal career work. HR only sees high-level usage reporting — never private career conversations, resume drafts, target companies, or interview answers.
Who is Cruit best for?
Companies that want to support more employees through layoffs, restructuring, hiring freezes, M&A, role eliminations, or redeployment — including employees who don't receive high-touch coaching today.
Can Cruit support different employee levels?
Yes. Cruit adapts to individual contributors, managers, senior professionals, and executives. A 25-year veteran and a recent hire need different help, and Cruit responds in context.
