Practise the standard verbs for running a useful, honest exit interview.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ an exit interview with every departing engineer, since candid feedback about why they're leaving is far more useful before they've gone than after.'
We 'conduct an interview' — the standard, simple collocation for carrying out a structured departure conversation. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping exit interviews for engineers who leave quietly can ___ the same underlying frustration driving departure after departure with nobody ever actually naming it.'
We say skipped exit interviews will 'leave' the real cause unnamed — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting blind spot. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the departing engineer's honest answers confidential from their former manager, since a wall of anonymity is often the only reason people speak freely at all.'
We 'keep answers confidential' — the standard, simple collocation for protecting the source of sensitive feedback. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ specific, recurring themes across exit interviews to HR leadership quarterly, rather than treating each conversation as an isolated, forgettable data point.'
We 'report a theme' — the standard, simple collocation for surfacing recurring patterns to decision-makers. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the interview around concrete questions, growth, management, workload, rather than a vague 'how was your time here?' that rarely surfaces anything useful.'
We 'structure an interview' — the standard, simple collocation for organising a conversation around specific, useful topics. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
