Acuspire Connect · for outplacement firms

Be the outplacement firm that answers.

Acuspire Connect puts a real person in front of every participant within minutes, then books them with the right coach.Someone just lost their job. The last thing they'll do today is fill in a form and wait for a reply.

The problem

Too many participants never reply to the welcome email. Fix that on day one.

An employer pays you for every person on the list.

Then this happens:

  • HR hands over a list of names and emails.
  • You send a welcome email. It lands next to the termination letter.
  • Many never reply.
  • The ones who do wait days for a first call.
  • Reschedules eat your coordinator's week.
  • At renewal, the employer asks, "What did we get?" You open a spreadsheet.

The first days after a layoff are when people decide whether to engage. Most firms spend them waiting for an email reply.

The fix

The fix: a front door with a human behind it

One link. No download. No account. No password.

  • The participant clicks the link.
  • They answer a few short pre-call questions.
  • They're talking to a real person on your team within minutes.
  • That person books them with the right coach before the call ends.

That's activation, done on day one, while the employer is still in the building.

How it works

How it works

01
Send one link

It goes in the employer's exit package. That's the whole rollout.

02
Activate live

Your intake consultant picks up the next person in the queue, with their answers already on screen.

03
Match and book

The participant sees coaches ranked by fit to their goal and picks a time from a 90-day calendar.

04
Meet in the browser

Video, audio-only, screen share for résumé and LinkedIn reviews, and chat with clickable links.

05
Document and measure

The coach writes up the session and the participant answers a short survey. Both attach to the session automatically.

06
Show the employer

Export delivered sessions, minutes, ratings, and confidence change. Hand it over at renewal.

The value, stacked

Count what this replaces:

  • A scheduling tool

  • A reporting spreadsheet
  • A coordinator's inbox
  • The "did that session actually happen?" conversation

Your next proposal

Stop telling employers your coaching works. Show them, to the minute.

Every outplacement proposal says "personalized coaching" and "high engagement."

Yours can say:

  • "Participants speak to a person within minutes of receiving the link."
  • "You'll receive a record of every session delivered, to the minute."
  • "We measure each participant's confidence before and after, and we show you the change."

Three sentences your competitors can't write.

FAQ

Questions we get

Zoom gives you a room. Everything around the room is still on your team: greeting the participant, matching the coach, moving the appointment, timing the session, collecting the survey, and building the report. Acuspire Connect does all of that, and the video too.

There's nothing to install and no account to create. If they can open an email, they can be on a call. Audio-only is one click.

They set their hours once, on a drag-and-drop week view. Bookings, breaks, reminders, and invites run themselves.

Then every participant matters more. One cohort that activates on day one is the case study that sells the next one.

No. Keep your résumé builders and job boards. This is the human delivery layer and the proof layer.

That's your call. The organization that procures Acuspire Connect decides how sessions are accounted for: it can accrue billing reports for the sessions provided, or have them provided free of charge.
