What Happens During Candidate Transition Support?

Candidate transition support reduces the risk of losing a candidate after offer acceptance. This stage keeps communication open while the candidate resigns, serves notice and prepares to commence with the new employer.

What We Support

We help manage the period between acceptance and commencement so both candidate and client remain informed.

  • Candidate resignation preparation and communication
  • Notice period expectations and timing
  • Counter-offer risk and candidate confidence
  • Start date alignment and practical next steps

Why This Stage Matters

Offer acceptance does not always guarantee commencement. Candidates may face counter-offers, second thoughts or uncertainty during their notice period.

  • Reduces resignation and counter-offer risk
  • Maintains candidate engagement before commencement
  • Improves communication between candidate and client
  • Protects the placement before start date

What We Need From You

Clear communication from the client helps the candidate feel confident and prepared before they start.

  • Confirmed start date and onboarding expectations
  • Employment paperwork or pre-start requirements
  • Any equipment, uniform or system access details
  • Contact person for first-day arrangements

What The Client Receives

The outcome is stronger visibility and confidence during the period between offer acceptance and commencement.

  • Candidate transition updates
  • Counter-offer and resignation risk monitoring
  • Start date confirmation
  • Smoother movement into onboarding
