What is an async exit interview?
An async exit interview is a short set of questions a departing employee answers on their own time, by video, voice or text, instead of in a meeting with HR. Without someone across the table, people tend to be more direct. Each spoken answer is transcribed and summarized, and AI Analysis can sort the reasons into categories you define.
Departing employees give polished, politically correct answers in live exit interviews.
- A summary and sentiment label on every spoken answer
- AI Analysis: categorize management and culture concerns
- Tags and AI Analysis categories you can filter and export
- Voice or text questions for people who prefer not to be on camera
How it works, step by step
Async video exit interviews let people speak freely on their own time. AI summaries and sentiment labels help you look past diplomatic wording to the real reasons.

Build
Step 1: Design a confidential exit form
Create a form with 5 to 7 open-ended video questions. The async, private format encourages honesty that live interviews never get.
- Start with a sincere intro video from a senior leader (not the departing employee's direct manager) emphasizing that feedback is confidential
- Use video-record elements for emotional questions: "What would you change about your team?", since facial expressions reveal more than typed answers
AI Analysis
Step 2: Configure exit-specific AI analysis
Set up AI Analysis to look for specific departure signals: not just general sentiment, but the real reasons people leave.
- Configure analysis criteria: "Evaluate mentions of management quality, compensation concerns, growth opportunities, work-life balance, and team dynamics"
- Every video and voice answer gets a summary and a sentiment label, so you can quickly see which exits were negative and why
Automate
Step 3: Auto-trigger on resignation
When an employee's status changes to "leaving" in your HRIS, the exit form goes out automatically, during their notice period, on their own time.
- Zapier: HRIS status change → send exit form link via email with personalized message
- Webhook pushes results to your HR dashboard: sentiment, AI summary and transcript

Answer it the way your respondents will, on your phone or computer. Nothing you record is saved.
What you get back
Every video and voice answer arrives transcribed, with a one-line summary, 3 to 5 keywords and a sentiment label. The template above is new and has no answers yet, so this is a sample response from a different demo form, "Why are you leaving?", as your team sees it.
