Employee Exit Interview Analytics Platform for HR Teams

HR departments on IH describe exit interviews as wasted data. They conduct structured interviews but store responses in documents that nobody analyzes at scale. A platform that collects, categorizes, and surfaces trends from exit interview data would transform ad-hoc departures into actionable retention intelligence.

Overall

Problem Statement

An HR team at a 500-person company conducts 125 exit interviews annually. Responses go into Google Docs that nobody reads after the meeting. When the VP of Engineering asks why 8 developers quit in Q3, HR has no aggregated analysis — they skim individual documents for 2 hours to produce a vague summary. The pattern (engineering team lead's management style) was visible in exit data from Q1 but wasn't surfaced until Q4 after 12 departures.

The Idea

An exit interview analytics platform that collects structured departure feedback, identifies retention risk patterns across departments, and surfaces actionable insights for HR leadership.

Why Now

US voluntary turnover peaked at 25% in 2025, costing companies $15K-$50K per departure. Remote work made retention harder to predict from behavior alone. AI text analysis now reliably categorizes open-ended feedback themes. HR budgets shifted from recruitment to retention as hiring costs escalated.

Target User

HR directors and People Analytics teams at mid-size companies (200-2,000 employees) with measurable turnover

Target Market

US mid-market companies investing in employee retention and people analytics

A premium concierge service that owns database integrity (deduplication, lineage, restore), implementation success, and an export-error explainer addresses the highest-stakes risk that HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors face when adopting ServiceTitan.

Automated Permit Tracker for Small Construction Contractors

Small construction contractors on Indie Hackers forums describe spending 8-12 hours per week tracking permit statuses across multiple municipal portals.

Route-Density Optimizer and Sub-Vertical Templates for Housecall Pro Crews

Housecall Pro covers 45,000 home-service businesses but reviewers point at three recurring gaps: no map-aware scheduling that clusters nearby jobs, a glitchy mobile app, and shallow industry-specific templates for sub-verticals like pool service or appliance repair. A focused add-on that ingests Housecall Pro jobs, suggests route-dense scheduling, and ships sub-vertical job-card templates closes the daily dispatcher pain without replacing the dispatch tool.
