The company’s flagship product is WebExit, an online exit interview management system [5] The technology's initial release was in January 2001[6] and was the first of its kind in the automated exit interview field.[7] It is provided via a SaaS based model.[8] A related product, FirstDays, allows companies to survey new hire employees at various intervals in order to help acclimate them with the company and reduce early turnover of employees.[9] The company’s third product, Mentor Scout, is software for managing corporate mentoring programs and association mentoring programs.[10]

Daly in 2000.[12] The company was self funded without any outside investment.[13] Initial clients included First Hawaiian Bank, Campbell Soup Company and Conair Corporation.[14] The Mentor Scout division [15] was created in 2003 to focus on mentoring software for corporations and associations.[16][17] Nobscot's FirstDays product was released in mid-2008, which was designed to help companies reduce new employee departures.[18][19] In 2014, Mentor Scout underwent a brand redesign working with BigFan a design agency out of Bristol UK.[20][21]
