You rarely hear the real reason people leave
People who are leaving could tell you the truth. Most exit forms only get short, polite answers.
Most people skip the exit form
Leavers have no reason to fill in a form honestly. Few reply, and the answers are too short to act on.
People hold back with HR
Nobody wants to burn a bridge on the way out. So they give a polite reason instead of the real one.
The exit sheet says “better offer”
The reason HR writes down is often a guess. Nobody checks it against what the person would say.

- Each reason with the person’s own words

Write your own questions and choose how closely the agent sticks to them

- Word for word or adaptive, set per question
- 1 to 5 follow-ups per question
- A different script for each group, like stores or head office
- Each call saves the script it used

Each call opens with a confidentiality notice and asks if they agree
The agent says the conversation is confidential and goes only to HR leadership. It asks if the person is happy to continue. If they say no, the call ends and Goodfit does not call again. Then it asks your questions in the language the person picks.
- It stays neutral and never argues or defends the company
- It follows up when an answer is short
- Every call is recorded and transcribed

If two calls go unanswered, Goodfit sends a WhatsApp message
Calls are two hours apart and inside your calling hours. The message lets the person book a call, answer in the chat or just leave a score. People can also call the number back. Goodfit makes up to three calls in all.
- Up to 3 calls per person
- Callbacks at the time the person asks for
- A status for each person, like Interview done or Asked not to be called

Each leaver’s top three reasons, in their own words
Goodfit ranks up to three reasons as first, second and third. Each reason gets two labels, so you can add them up across every exit. If someone only says “personal reasons”, Goodfit records that they chose not to share.
- Push: something at work pushed them out, like a manager or the workload
- Pull: something new pulled them away, like a bigger role
- Controllable: a reason you could have changed, like pay, a manager or growth
- Not controllable: a family move or going back to study
