Who this template is for

Exit Interview Form is built for HR, people ops and hiring managers who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record.

  • HR, people ops and hiring managers working in human resources.
  • Teams who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are candidates and employees — the form asks them 33 questions across 4 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 16 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It scores satisfaction on a consistent scale.
  • It measures sentiment on a numeric scale.
  • It allows multiple selections without free text.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

  5. 5Watch responses land in Submissions, where you can filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Primary reason for leaving” is New role elsewhere, the form dynamically exposes “What did the new role offer that we did not?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Did you raise these issues before deciding to leave?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Who did you raise it with, and what happened?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Is there anything that needs to be escalated?” is Yes, “Describe the concern” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Would you consider working here again?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “What would have to change?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Who should run an exit interview?

Someone outside the leaver's reporting line — HR, People Ops or a peer manager. Answers change substantially when the person being described is sitting in the room.

Should it be a form or a conversation?

Both. Have the conversation and fill this in as the record, or send the link ahead so the leaver arrives having already thought about the harder questions.

How do we use the data?

Aggregate the primary reason and the rated blocks by department and quarter. One exit interview is an anecdote; twenty with the same reason is a retention problem you can cost.

What about redundancies and dismissals?

Choose the matching departure type. The reason list and open questions still apply, but treat anything raised as a concern under your grievance procedure rather than as survey data.

How do I get a free exit interview form?

Yes. You can preview and test Exit Interview Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What questions should a exit interview form include?

It asks 33 questions across 4 pages, 16 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

How do I customise this exit interview form?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

How do I use conditional questions in a human resources form?
