    They start from their situation and state, and see what needs attention first.

  • Verified benefit deadlines

    Deadlines and dollar figures checked by people, with official links. Claiming benefits is always free.

  • Help with every application

    Application Packets, tailored resumes, interview prep, and a real job feed.

  • Lumo, their guide

    Ask Lumo about the search, with no daily limit on Pro.

How sponsorship works

Setup takes minutes, not weeks.

No sales call, no SOW, no procurement cycle.

  1. 01

    Upload a roster

    Two people or two hundred. No minimum, no signed contract.

  2. 02

    Invites go out the same day

    Each person gets a private invitation to claim 90 days of full Offboard Pro.

  3. 03

    You see aggregate engagement only

    How many people claimed access and how many are active. Never what any one person does.

Clear sponsor terms

You see the program. Never the person.

Before anyone enrolls, Offboard explains exactly what a sponsor can and cannot see.

Private by default. This never appears to employers or recruiters.

Not the CEO, not HR, nobody. Our Terms of Service make that a commitment, not a preference.

Pricing

Real outplacement at $199 a head, not $5,000.

Legacy outplacement runs $3,000 to $7,000 per head, and most firms will not take a layoff under 50 people. The size of your layoff should not determine whether your people get help.

Why People teams do this

The cheapest line item in the layoff, and the one people remember.

Sponsorship is the part of a layoff people actually tell other people about.

  • People remember how they were let go.

    Glassdoor reviews, boomerang hires, and references are written in the last week of employment.

  • It gets used.

    It is a product laid-off workers actually use, not a PDF library.

  • You can see that it landed.

    No placement guarantees, no inflated promises. You see real aggregate usage and claims activity.

  • California now asks the question.

    Beginning January 1, 2026, California employers covered by Cal-WARN must say whether they will coordinate services through the local workforce board, another provider, or not at all. If they choose to coordinate, those services must be arranged within 30 days. Sponsorship makes that answer an easy yes.

Good questions

What People teams ask.

Is there a minimum number of seats?

No minimum. Buy for two people or two hundred, with no signed contract. Pricing is $199 per employee, one-time, and drops to $169 per seat at 50 or more.

How fast can this be live?

Invitations go out the same day you upload a roster. Setup takes minutes, not weeks.

What exactly can we see?

Aggregate engagement only. For example, a sponsor can see that 19 of 24 people claimed access and 14 are active, but never anyone's resume, applications, or conversations. Not the CEO, not HR, nobody. Our Terms of Service make that a commitment, not a preference.

How do we pay?

$199 per employee, one-time. Setup is free, and you pay when you launch, for each person on your roster. Card or NET-30 invoice. No renewal, no SOW, no procurement cycle.

What does each person get?

90 days of full Offboard Pro: a personal plan, verified benefit deadlines, resume and application help, interview prep, and a real job feed.

What if someone never claims their seat?

Each person has 60 days from their first invitation to claim, and their 90 days of Offboard Pro start on the day they claim. Offboard purchases are fully refundable until your employee invites are sent. After invites are sent, any seat that remains unclaimed is refundable for 14 days from the invite send date. Once an employee claims access, that seat is considered active and is no longer refundable. If you need to correct an employee email before claim, we can transfer that seat at no extra charge.

Can we talk to someone first?

Yes. Email info@offboard.co and a person on our team will get back to you. You never need a call to get started.

Sponsored access

Give your people a real next step.

Set up sponsored seats yourself, with no signed contract. Setup is free, and you pay when you launch. Or email info@offboard.co to talk it through with a person first.
