She came to me for advice and we discussed many alternatives . . . and then she remembered one.
At her exit interview from a previous job, the Chairman of the bank she worked for wrote next to the eligible for rehire check box on the form he used the words, "ABSOLUTELY!" twice, something HR said they had never seen before.
He also planted a seed with her at that time that should she ever be in a situation where she was looking for work, to consider coming back--and that is what she is doing.
Using exit interviews to plant the seed of opportunity to return with desirable former employees can supplement your recruiting efforts and allow you to hire people who understand your firm's culture and be able to get up and running faster than the average hire might.
The accounting firms have known this for a long time.
Now you do too.
