EXIT INTERVIEW SURVEYS
Exit interviews people answer honestly
Departing employees have the least reason to sugarcoat and the most reason to stay silent. FeedbackPulse ships an exit interview template out of the box — run it as a standard interview, or anonymously for candid trends across leavers.

Exit interviews happen informally, if at all — a manager's parting chat, a line in an offboarding checklist, nothing anyone can act on later. What gets said depends on who's asking: with a reference check still ahead, departing employees soften the real reasons they're leaving. The pattern behind the departures — the thing leadership actually needs — never gets recorded, because nobody built a way to ask that made honesty safe.
How FeedbackPulse handles exit interviews
Choose a response count. At 1 and 2, the admin sees nothing. At 3, aggregate results unlock.
Exit interview template built in
every workspace comes with a ready-to-send exit interview question set — no blank-page problem. Use it as-is or edit the questions, and send your first one the same day you sign up.
Two honest modes
run it as a standard, identified interview when you need a record tied to that person, or send it as an anonymous survey when what you want is the unvarnished pattern across everyone who's left. Same template, two ways to ask.
Anonymous mode protects real anonymity
results stay hidden until at least 3 people respond — the same rule that protects every anonymous survey on the platform. Exits usually happen one at a time, so in practice that means one leaver's anonymous answers sit in a pool until two more people have also left and responded. It's built to surface a pattern across departures, not to expose what one person said on their way out.
Trends leaders act on
every exit interview, identified or anonymous, feeds the same trend reports as pulse surveys, so leadership sees how reasons for leaving shift over time instead of reading one exit at a time.

The controls above demonstrate the report state. Admins can't change the real threshold.
No separate plan for exit interviews
Exit interviews are one more template inside the same FeedbackPulse workspace — free for up to 10 people, then $4 per person per month billed annually, or $5 monthly. Most exit-program buyers are already running pulse surveys or eNPS here, so there's nothing extra to buy.
“We wanted a simple, modern tool to run our first structured reviews, not an enterprise system we’d never fully use. FeedbackPulse was exactly that.”

“FeedbackPulse surveys are a great tool to sense the company mood, identify trends in employee feedback, and act on them.”

The questions people actually ask
The useful answer isn't “trust us.” It's knowing which protection the product enforces when nobody is watching.
Are exit interviews anonymous?
Only if you choose the anonymous mode. Run the standard mode and it's an identified interview like any other conversation. Choose anonymous and individual responses are never shown on their own — results only render once at least 3 people have responded. Exits happen one at a time, so a single leaver's anonymous answers sit in a pool until two more people have also left and answered. It's built to show a pattern across departures, not to expose what one person said on the way out.
What questions are included?
A ready-to-send exit interview question set comes built into every workspace, covering reasons for leaving, manager and team feedback, and what would have changed their decision. Edit any question, add your own, or remove what doesn't fit — it's a starting point, not a fixed form.
Do I need the whole platform?
No separate product to buy. Exit interviews are one template type inside the same survey tool you'd use for pulse surveys or eNPS. Companies of 10 or fewer get the whole platform, exit interviews included, for free.
