What this is

Most SME employee departures are not a surprise. They are the obvious next step in a story the owner could have read months earlier, if anyone had been reading.

These five offers give you the reading. Each one is productised, fixed-fee, and answers a specific question.

Outsourced exit interviews

£150 + VAT per interview

Honest answers your leaver will never give you directly. We are not their manager, their friend, or the person who hired them. They will tell us things they will not tell you, and we will tell you what they said.

You get:

  • 60-minute confidential exit conversation (phone or video)
  • Written summary report within 5 working days
  • Themes report if multiple leavers

Most useful when a high-performer leaves unexpectedly, or 3 leavers in 12 weeks where you need to know if the cause is the same.

Why fix this now

The replacement cost of a mid-level hire runs from three to nine months of salary. One avoided departure pays for years of any of the offers on this page.

Common questions

FAQs

Wrong. Smaller teams, departures cost more proportionally. At fewer than 10 employees we use 1:1 anonymised conversations.
Yes. Partner-tier retainer clients get one salary benchmark per quarter included.
We tell you immediately and walk you through the steps. The written exit interview is also a defence if the leaver later claims they raised concerns.
Annual is the floor; six-monthly is the gold standard. Do not go more frequent. Survey fatigue ruins response rates.
