Departure Insights Analyst
Q4 Attrition Analysis • Engineering
Manager Quality Issue Detected High Priority
67%

6 "Manager relationship"

People leave. You never learn the real reason.

Exit interviews happen. Insights don't.

  • Departing employees give polished, diplomatic answers. "It's a great opportunity." Real issues stay hidden.
  • HR conducts exit interviews when time allows—40% never happen. Data is incomplete.
  • Feedback sits in individual notes. No aggregation. Same problems cause departures for years.
  • Managers hear about issues after the resignation. By then, it's too late.
  • High performers leave citing "opportunity elsewhere." The fixable reasons never surface.
  • No early warning system. Flight risks become departures become pattern you notice too late.

"We lost six engineers in one quarter to the same manager. The exit interviews said 'better opportunity.' We didn't connect the dots until engineer seven told us the truth."

— VP of People, Series C Startup

An analyst that hears what people actually mean.

Deploy an AI analyst that conducts every exit conversation with consistency, surfaces patterns across departures, and turns attrition data into retention action.

01

Deeper Conversations

People are more candid with AI than with HR colleagues. No fear of burning bridges. No awkward silences. The agent asks follow-up questions humans hesitate to ask and gets answers humans don't get.

02

Pattern Recognition

Aggregates themes across all departures. Spots correlations humans miss: specific managers, teams, tenure bands, or role types with elevated attrition. Turns anecdotes into data.

03

Actionable Alerts

Doesn't just collect data—interprets it. Flags emerging issues before they become crises. Recommends specific interventions. Routes insights to the people who can act on them.

From resignation to retention insight.

1

Trigger

Resignation entered in HRIS. Agent automatically schedules exit conversation within 48 hours.

2

Converse

Structured conversation via chat or voice. Adaptive follow-ups based on responses. Comfortable, confidential environment.

3

Analyze

Extracts themes, sentiment, and root causes. Cross-references with historical patterns and organizational data.

4

Alert

Routes insights to relevant stakeholders. Flags urgent patterns. Feeds retention dashboards automatically.

Every departure teaches something. If you listen.

Manager Effectiveness

Toxic Manager Detection

Your engineering attrition is 2x company average. HR suspects a manager problem but departing employees won't name names.

Agent Insight

"Analysis of 14 engineering departures over 18 months shows 9 reported 'lack of psychological safety' and 'micromanagement.' 7 of 9 reported to the same skip-level. Tenure-to-departure correlation: employees under this manager leave 40% faster than department average."

→ Manager coaching initiated, team attrition dropped 60%
Compensation Intelligence

Market Rate Gaps

Senior engineers keep leaving for "better opportunities." You suspect compensation but need data to justify budget increases.

Agent Insight

"78% of senior engineer departures (L5+) in past 12 months cited compensation as top-3 factor. Average reported salary increase at new role: 23%. Most common destination companies: [Company A], [Company B], [Company C]. Concentrated in Platform and Infrastructure teams."

→ Targeted retention adjustments, saved 4 planned departures
Career Development

Promotion Pathway Issues

High performers at the 2-3 year mark are leaving at elevated rates. They cite "growth opportunities" but you have a promotion process.

Agent Insight

"Employees with 2-3 year tenure cite 'unclear promotion criteria' (67%) and 'no visibility into timeline' (54%). Sentiment analysis shows frustration peaks around annual review cycle. Common phrase: 'I don't know what I need to do to get promoted.'"

→ Transparent leveling guide published, 2-3 year attrition down 35%
Culture & Values

Post-Acquisition Integration

You acquired a company 6 months ago. Attrition from the acquired team is spiking. Leadership says "integration is going well."

Agent Insight

"Acquired team departures show consistent themes: 'culture mismatch' (82%), 'lost autonomy' (71%), 'don't recognize the company anymore' (65%). Sentiment toward acquiring company leadership: predominantly negative. Key trigger: mandatory process changes in month 4."

→ Integration approach adjusted, retained 80% of remaining acquired team
