FOR COMPANIES GOING THROUGH LAYOFFSA hard decision, done with care.

You made the call the business required. What happens next is what people will remember.

HintCraft gives every departing employee a real system to land their next role, so your severance package becomes something more than a goodbye.

THE WEIGHT

The part of the job nobody prepared you for.

Announcing layoffs is one of the hardest things a leader does. You read the numbers, you ran the scenarios, you did the math that said this was necessary. And then you sat in a room and told people that their jobs were ending.

The decision was for the business. The weight of it is yours.

Most companies hand departing employees a severance check, a letter, and a link to a job board. That is the path of least resistance, and everyone in the room knows it. There is a better version of this moment. One where the people leaving walk out with something that actually helps.

THE TRANSITION YOU CAN OFFER

From "we had to let you go" to "here is what comes next."

Severance pays bills for a few months. Real preparation rebuilds a career. The difference between those two is the difference between a transaction and a transition.

01

A working system, not a gesture.

Every departing employee gets the full HintCraft platform. Six structured modules covering interview preparation, self-knowledge, job search strategy, and offer negotiation. AI interview answers built on their actual career, not generic templates. A curated database of over 1,000 remote companies. Application tracking. Goal setting. The same system professionals use when their own careers are on the line.

02

What they leave with.

They leave with self-knowledge about what they bring. Stories from their real work that prove what they are capable of. Strategies for running a search that actually works. A system for the daily grind, so momentum does not depend on willpower. And above all, the confidence that comes from having a plan. While most candidates send AI-written applications that sound identical, the people you support walk in with specific stories, real targets, and a plan.

HOW THIS REFLECTS ON YOU

The story your organization tells after the announcement.

A layoff is a single day. The reputation it creates runs for years.

The people you let go talk to their networks. Your future hires hear how the last ones were treated before they decide to join. Your remaining team watches, and remembers.

None of this shows up on a spreadsheet. All of it compounds.

You will remember this week too. What you did for the people leaving is the part you get to keep.

HintCraft is one way to make sure there is something worth keeping. A real system, given at the moment it matters, so the help you offered was not a gesture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Layoff-specific questions, straight answers.

Yes. We regularly work with companies during the planning phase, under NDA if needed. Licenses can be provisioned and held until the day of the announcement, so departing employees receive access at the same moment they receive the news.

From first conversation to licenses ready: typically 3 to 5 business days. Self-service means there is no integration phase.

Honest answer: engagement varies by cohort. What is consistent is that the people who do engage arrive at their next role faster and with better terms. One practical lever: a short note from leadership, sent with the license, explaining why it was included. That single line typically moves engagement more than any feature we could add.

The language that lands best is direct and unhedged. Something close to: "We included a transition platform in your package. It is yours to use for the next 3 to 6 months. The people who use it tend to land their next role faster." No apology, no overselling. You acknowledge the hard thing by giving them something real to hold.

No. HintCraft handles the systematic groundwork, so human time is spent on conversations that actually need a human. Companies that pair HintCraft with targeted coaching report that coaching sessions become more productive because employees arrive already prepared.

For larger engagements, yes. A welcome message and your organization's name can appear in the onboarding experience. The product itself stays neutral so employees feel they are using a professional tool, not a branded corporate portal.

HintCraft is EU-hosted and GDPR-compliant by design. Departing-employee data is never sold or used for AI training. Users can export their data or request full deletion at any time.
