Outplacement Services
Outplacement Services for Hotel / Corporate Executives in the Global Hotel Industry
The International Association of Hotel General Managers (IAHGM) and the International Association of Hotel Executives (IAHE), recognises that constant change in the hotel industry is a fact of life. Change can, however, bring about situations where employment at key executive levels can be adversely affected either through involuntary redundancy or other extenuating circumstances.
Part of both Associations’ charters is to assist in the career endeavours of all our current and future members who have registered with the Career Management Centre (CMC). In addition, the Associations’ have implemented an outplacement service that is focussed purely on assisting Hotel Executives through their career transitioning periods. This service is designed to achieve the most appropriate outcome for both the organisation undertaking the change, and the Hotel Executive affected by the change, and is conducted with the necessary sensitivity and urgency required.
The Associations’ also recognise that maintaining brand reputation is important not only for the organisation making the change, but also for the Associations’ in the manner in which its outplacement services are conducted.
The Associations’ now have in place a process available to Clients worldwide who are in need of outplacement services specifically designed for the Hotel industry.
Not only can the CMC help our GM’s with their individual career development, but it can also assist in the placement of key Hotel Executives within their business. With discounted access to the IAHE talent pool, GM’s can request a search be conducted of this database which encompasses a wide range of key Hotel Executives, enabling them to select the best candidates suited to their specific job requirements.
Services currently in place include:
- Assistance with preparation of a candidate proposal pack - to maximise initial interest from prospective employers.
- Updating and formatting of CV - to ensure key strengths are highlighted including career achievements and challenges.
- Psychometric assessment - although optional, is highly recommended to ensure recognition of key strengths and capabilities, as well as identifying professional development needs.

- Interviewing skills - designed to focus the Hotel Executive on the importance of communicating their capability and suitability for specific opportunities.
- To assist in maintaining financial portability and protection - outplaced candidates can also have access to the Associations’ third party affiliates for provision of portable international plans such as medical plans and retirement/savings plans.
