The main reason for leaving, how the person rates their experience and their manager, what would have kept them, and whether they would recommend you or come back.

### When should I send an exit survey?

Send it in the last week of employment, before the exit interview, so people have time to answer honestly.

The reasons are multiple choice, so you can filter responses and export them to see which reasons come up most often.
