Don't wait for the exit interview to learn why people leave — ask while they're still here. PaperKit drafts a proper Stay Interview Form a current employee fills in and signs: the RETENTION-side mirror of your exit interview, held BEFORE anyone resigns. Pick the context — ANNUAL STAY INTERVIEW, NEW-HIRE 30/60/90-DAY, POST-PROMOTION CHECK-IN, MANAGER 1:1 STAY CHAT, or AT-RISK RETENTION — and the whole form reshapes (the title, the framing, the ratings intro, the reflection intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean SATISFACTION RATINGS table: rate each aspect of the job on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Very satisfied, Satisfied, Neutral, Dissatisfied, Very dissatisfied — for role & responsibilities, manager support, pay & benefits, work-life balance, growth, recognition, and add your own — with a supporting comment; PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE satisfaction score, with a scale legend right on the form. Then record your own LIKELIHOOD TO STAY — VERY LIKELY, LIKELY, UNSURE, AT RISK, or ACTIVELY LOOKING — shown as a bold, color-coded badge (green → red) at the top that also reshapes the closing. Answer the classic stay-interview questions too — what keeps you here, what might make you leave, what would make this the best job you've ever had, growth & development, manager support, recognition, and pay & benefits — and each becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom questions, an overall comment, an optional manager / interviewer block (who ran the conversation, distinct from you), and a short sign-off checklist (my own honest views, shared voluntarily, constructive & good faith, may be shared with my manager & HR, and e-signature consent). The employee (or a manager on their behalf) is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted form online and share it with the manager / people ops — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't conduct any interview, make any employment decision, or store anything for the employer; your organization owns its retention process and must use this feedback lawfully and appropriately.)
The big lever — it reshapes the whole form: the title, the framing, the ratings intro, the reflection intro, and the closing.

You are the one completing this form and signing it at the end.
If your manager or people ops ran the conversation and is recording your answers, name them here — a distinct role from you.

A stay interview form is a template for convenience, not legal, HR, or professional advice.
