PERFORMANCE REVIEWS

Performance Review tied to real skills

Evaluate IT specialists using a competency matrix, not gut feelings. Automatic gap analysis, score comparison, development goals.

PROCESS

How Performance Review works

1

Create a review cycle

Choose a type: quarterly, annual, probation, or ad-hoc. Set deadlines and team.

2

Assign reviewers

For each employee — manager + self-assessment. On Pro: peer/360° review.

3

Rate by matrix skills

Each role skill is rated: none → awareness → working → advanced → expert. With comments.

4

Results and plan

Automatic gap analysis. Self vs manager comparison. Development goal generation.

ASSESSMENT FORM

Skills grouped by domains

The assessment form is generated from the competency matrix for a specific role. The reviewer sees skills grouped by domains.

  • 5 rating levels for each skill
  • Expected level highlighted with color
  • Comments for each skill
  • Auto-save progress
  • Gap highlighted in red/green
Domain: Backend Development
PostgreSQL Expected: Advanced
N Aw W A E
API Design Expected: Advanced
N Aw W A E
▼ Gap: -1 level
Docker Expected: Working

▼ Gap: -1 level

RESULTS

Automatic gap analysis

The system automatically calculates results after the assessment form is completed.

  • Match % — percentage of skills where rating ≥ expectations
  • Overall Score — weighted average score 0-5.0
  • Strengths — skills above expectations
  • Growth Areas — skills with the largest gaps
  • Recommended Level — level where match ≥ 80%

TEAM HEATMAP

Visual team skills map

Team Summary shows all team member skills as a heatmap. Quickly see who knows what and where the gaps are.

  • Employees (rows) × Skills (columns)
  • Color = level: green (meets), yellow (close), red (gap)
  • Identify team skill gaps
  • Plan hiring and training

COMPARISON

Self vs Manager — side by side

The employee sees how they rated themselves, how the manager rated them, and where the differences are. This is the foundation for a constructive dialog.

  • Two columns: self-assessment and manager assessment
  • Highlight discrepancies in ratings
  • Average value for the final result
  • Comments from both sides
