Market Opportunity
Companies lose 30–50% of employees in 2 years but rarely understand why. Exit interviews are awkward and produce sanitized feedback. AI-powered exit surveys and sentiment analysis of departing employee feedback reveal the real reasons people leave — and what would make them stay.
The Idea
Offer exit interview and retention analysis. Design AI-powered exit surveys that employees complete digitally (more honest than face-to-face). Use AI to analyze patterns across departing employees: common themes, department-specific issues, manager correlations, and compensation gaps. Deliver quarterly 'Retention Risk Reports' with actionable fixes.
Key to Success
- Anonymize and aggregate — individual exit interviews feed into pattern detection, not individual reports
- Correlate exit reasons with tenure — people who leave in year 1 have different reasons than those leaving in year 5
- Offer stay interviews as a complementary service — catch retention issues BEFORE employees resign
