One of the (many) reasons we joined forces with Talos360 was to direct more energy into our product development. This week, our growing technical team at Talos360 and Appraisd kicked off our AI strategy sessions, which will see exciting new AI HR tools being developed in Appraisd.
The goal of this initiative is to better support our customers through features that add value, save time and make performance management a meaningful part of people strategy.
Talos360 recently launched Tali, an autonomous hiring agent, that has already started to prove the value of AI in the recruitment process with data from early adopters showing up to 31% faster hiring, significant reduction in candidate drop-off and considerable improvements to recruiter satisfaction.
So, while we focus on the AI software developments in Appraisd, here’s a reminder of the existing features that are powered by automation to help our customers work smartly:
10 powerful ways Appraisd uses intelligent automation to make performance management easier
1. Auto-enrolment into workflows. No more manual enrolment! New employees are automatically enrolled into the right performance management workflows on day one. Whether it’s based on location, team, or cohort - Appraisd’s smart rules ensure they’re placed into the right sequence.
2. Allocation of review forms. Say goodbye to hunting down templates. Once you have groups set up, automation in Appraisd allocates the right forms and templates to employees, making reviews relevant, efficient, and error-free for managers and employees alike.
3. Auto-scoring and ratings – no calculator needed. Appraisd crunches the numbers for you. Once reviews are submitted, it automatically calculates average ratings across objectives or reviewers - eliminating manual errors and saving everyone time.
4. Make sure employees never miss a deadline. Appraisd keeps the whole company on track. Automated reminders are sent to HR, managers, and employees for reviews, objective deadlines, and annual conversations - so nothing slips through the cracks, and no one needs to chase anyone.
5. Effortless 360° feedback management. Forget spreadsheet chaos. Appraisd automates feedback invitations, reminders, and external feedback collection - making complex 360° reviews feel as easy as any other performance task.
6. Seamless cascading of objectives. A guaranteed way to make sure objectives are aligned to organisational goals is to cascade objectives from the business plan into departmental and individual objectives. Appraisd automatically displays the right departmental objectives in each employee’s goal-setting form, helping teams clearly connect their work to the company’s mission.
7. Matching job descriptions with roles. Managing multiple job grades or structures? Appraisd users can automatically match the right job description to each employee’s role and grade so they always have clear, relevant expectations when completing reviews.
8. Trigger HR involvement automatically. Need HR to step in at key moments? Appraisd can be configured to flag specific conversations (such as probation reviews) based on pre-determined keywords - so HR can stay hands-off until they’re truly needed.
9. Automated talent mapping on the 9-box grid. Get a bird’s eye view of your workforce. Appraisd maps employees on the 9-box grid automatically, based on real performance and potential data - ready for your next talent review or succession planning session.
10. Intelligent report suggestions. Go beyond basic dashboards. As you explore performance data, Appraisd’s automation suggests additional relevant reports to help you dive deeper - unlocking insights you didn’t even know you needed.
That’s just a taste of how Appraisd uses intelligent automation to help you work smarter, faster, and with less hassle. But we’re not stopping there. We're taking things further with the development of AI tools specifically for performance management.
What’s Next for AI in performance management?
Over at Talos360, their AI-powered co-pilot, Tali, is already transforming recruitment - from automated scoring and shortlisting, smart interview scheduling and real-time note taking, AI-generated job descriptions and real-time talent analytics.
Now, we're bringing that same AI magic to Appraisd.
We have big ideas for how AI can streamline and elevate performance management - from AI review summaries to note-taking during reviews and check-ins, to conversation sentiment analysis and coaching prompts that guide conversations and support objective-setting. But here’s the thing: the best ideas come from you.
Since day one, the most impactful features in Appraisd have been co-created with our customers - and we want your voice to shape the future of AI in performance management too.
Can you help us shape the future of AI in performance management?
We’re looking for a group of forward-thinking Appraisd users to test out new AI features and provide feedback, so that we shape AI solutions that work for our customers. Could this be you?
