Performance management software
Review cycles on your org structure
Reviews, goals and OKRs, employee surveys, and recognition run on your Core HR records. Reviewers come from reporting lines, so nobody builds lists by hand.
HR rebuilds the org chart for every cycle
HR exports the org chart and matches people to managers by hand. Goals sit in another file, surveys in a third tool, and results come back by email.
Run 360 reviews from your reporting lines
Pick who is reviewed with participant rules. Self, manager, and upward reviewers come from the org structure, and HR, managers, or the employee add peers. Managers see results for their whole reporting tree.
Link company, team, and personal goals up the chain
Goals sit at four levels: strategic, department, team, and personal. Each links to a parent goal, and progress rolls up from key results and sub-goals to the strategic goal. Check-ins keep the history.
Survey employees anonymously so answers stay honest
Build an engagement pulse, an onboarding check-in, or an eNPS survey from a template or from scratch. Participant rules pick who is invited. Results, exports, and SK.AI highlights wait for the anonymity threshold.
Award badges on the profile so good work stays on record
Recognition is a catalog of badges that colleagues and managers award to each other. Each award lands on the profile with the giver, the date, and a comment. HR sets who can award from each category by rules.
Start cycles from employee events, not reminders
Flows create a review, add someone to a running cycle, or start a survey on an employee event or a schedule. SK.AI answers questions about goals, surveys, and reviews with the user's own access.
One record behind every review, goal, and badge
Reviews assess the work, goals set the direction, surveys measure how people feel, and recognition marks good work as it happens. All four read Core HR.
What is Skailer's performance management system?
Performance & Development is the performance management software inside the Skailer HR platform. It runs performance reviews, goals and OKRs, employee surveys, and recognition on the same employee records and reporting lines as Core HR. Reviewers come from reporting lines, goal progress rolls up through weighted key results, and surveys add eNPS, anonymity thresholds, and SK.AI summaries. Calibration, 9-box, and 1:1 meetings are outside its scope.

ALL FOUR PROCESSES
PERFORMANCE REVIEWS
PULSE SURVEYS
Compare performance management tools by data source
Teams usually weigh three options: spreadsheets and form tools, a standalone talent suite synced from an HRIS, or modules inside the HR platform itself.
| Capability | Spreadsheets & form tools | Standalone talent suites | Skailer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where people data comes from | Copied in for each cycle | Synced from an HRIS | The same employee records as Core HR |
| Who reviews whom | Lists built by hand | Reporting lines from synced data | Manager and upward reviewers from reporting lines |
| Goals in reviews | A separate file | Usually linked | Goal evaluation questions in the review form |
| Anonymity | Depends on the form tool | Confidentiality thresholds | A threshold per group; at least 3 for surveys |
| Cycles after employee events | Calendar reminders | Varies by vendor | Flows create reviews and start surveys |
| Access to results | Whoever has the file | Set up in the suite | Roles and reporting lines from Core HR |
