An exit walk is the escort from the interview room off the property. Treat the candidate as a client: the departure is part of their experience and an opportunity to gather informal impressions. section 5.1.4
Make the walk useful without turning it into another formal interview:
- If possible, choose an escort who did not take part in the interview. section 5.1.4
- Have the escort ask how the interview went as part of ordinary small talk. section 5.1.4
A handoff signal
One interviewer used a left or right handoff to signal their assessment to the escort. The escort could then tailor questions—and, for a promising candidate, say more about the environment. section 5.1.4
