Stay Connected with Your Alumni and Welcome Back Top Talent

Your former employees are a valuable asset—they carry institutional knowledge, industry connections, and a proven track record with your organization. An effective employee alumni network keeps these relationships warm, while a smart boomerang rehire program makes it easy for great people to return when the timing is right.

This Employee Alumni Network & Boomerang Rehire Feedback Form helps you maintain meaningful relationships with past team members, understand their current career paths, gauge interest in future opportunities, and continuously improve your re-onboarding process for returning employees.

Why use Paperform for alumni and boomerang feedback?

Paperform makes it simple to create professional, on-brand feedback forms that feel personal and engaging—not like another corporate survey. With conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on whether someone is interested in returning, already came back, or just wants to stay in the loop. Responses flow directly into your HR tools via Stepper (stepper.io), so you can automatically tag alumni by interest level, trigger follow-up emails, or route rehire inquiries to your recruiting team without manual data entry.

Plus, with AI Insights built in, you can quickly summarize feedback themes from dozens or hundreds of alumni responses, helping you spot patterns in why people left, what would bring them back, and how to improve your re-onboarding experience.

What you can achieve with this template

• Strengthen alumni relationships: Keep former employees engaged with updates, events, and opportunities that show you value the time they spent with your organization.
• Build a boomerang pipeline: Identify high-performing alumni who are open to returning, and make it easy for them to express interest without a formal application.
• Improve re-onboarding: Collect candid feedback from employees who have returned, so you can refine the experience for future boomerangs.
• Understand exit drivers: Learn what prompted departures and what would need to change for alumni to consider coming back.
• Automate outreach: Use Stepper to sync responses with your ATS, CRM, or email platform, triggering personalized follow-ups and keeping alumni warm over time.

Whether you're an HR manager, talent acquisition leader, or people operations professional, this template gives you the insights and automation you need to turn your alumni network into a strategic talent advantage—without the manual spreadsheet wrangling.
