Mark Staniland, managing director of career transition services at the company, said that former public sector workers may find the transition into the private jobs market difficult.
He warned that applicants were at risk of 'talking a completely different language' to private sector recruiters.
'There are more similarities between the two sectors than people think, but jobseekers need to be able to work hard to show how this is the case and if they are to find work in a more commercial environment, they are going to need support from their current employer,' Mr Staniland explained.
New research from the New Economics Foundation (NEF) found that job losses in the public sector are unlikely to be fully compensated for by increased demand in the private sector so jobseekers could find themselves in an increasingly competitive market.
Mr Staniland said that employers had a responsibility to offer support to workers moving between the two sectors.
