GENERAL EMPLOYMENT

Employee Exit Interviews:
Many companies either feel uncomfortable or are not staffed appropriately to conduct exit interviews.
As an independent third party, we:

• Conduct exit interviews.
• Gather information that may not be disclosed otherwise, which could prove vital to retaining existing employees.
• Develop a written report documenting our findings for our client.

Postmortem Debriefing:
If your top candidate has just turned down your offer, we perform a third party debriefing to discover the reasons for the offer not being accepted and identify any strategic hiring efforts made by the company. In some instances, we may even be able to resurrect the hire.
