Recruiting and Outplacement

Meet great talent right when they're looking

Cushion members are experienced professionals. When one is laid off, they can choose to talk with a recruiter from our Placement Network to land their next role faster.

Member details are only shared with a member's explicit consent. Placement Network participation does not affect a member's claim or benefits. Cushion coverage is currently available to W-2 employees in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Illinois and Virginia, with more states to follow. Coverage options, limits, waiting periods and policy availability vary by jurisdiction and are subject to underwriting approval and individual policy declarations. Partner compensation is structured to comply with state insurance laws; only appropriately licensed partners may receive commissions on policies sold.
