Exit Interview
In recruiter context
These are not for you. They're for the company's HR data. Be polite, be professional, give two or three constructive points. Don't unload — anything you say can and sometimes does make it back to your manager, and bridges burn quickly. The honest feedback you want to give is better delivered to a trusted ex-colleague over coffee three months later.
