The panel's verdict

Appraisd is a performance management platform from Appraisd Ltd — the pages note it is by Talos360 and now branded Talos Perform — for organisations with 50 to 5,000+ employees. Its strongest showing is goals and feedback at 6-8: objectives connect across individual, team and company level with draft-and-confirm sign-off, customisable status markers and time-stamped updates, one-to-ones run from a template library, and objectives and progress updates are pulled into the year-end review. Performance reviews sit at 6 on configurable templates, calculated year-end scores weighting competencies and objectives, and drag-and-drop calibration on a nine-box grid. Learning and development spreads 4-6, split between evidenced succession tooling and undocumented learning delivery; judges differ on how far that gap should cost. Weakest are codetermination and privacy at 4-5 and sovereignty at 2-3, where a UK contracting entity, Microsoft Azure UK datacentres and no public confirmation of an EU hosting option leave the European question open. Persona-weighted totals span 4.5 to 6.0. Pricing transparency scores 0-2 outside those totals, with no public prices and a free trial and booked demo as entry points.

Speaks for it

  • Objectives connect across individual, team and company level with draft-and-confirm sign-off, customisable status markers and time-stamped updates, and are pulled into the year-end review
  • Year-end ratings are calculated by weighting competencies and objectives, with scores mapped automatically onto a customisable nine-box grid and adjustable by drag and drop
  • Talent profiling flags critical roles, flight risks, training needs and employees with no successor, supported by predefined talent-review questions
  • Integrations cover 25-plus HRIS providers with Workday, Oracle, BambooHR, Cascade, PeopleHR and Zenefits named, plus SSO via SAML 2.0, Azure and Google, a REST API, and PowerBI, Teams, Slack and Outlook connections
  • Retention is configurable, administrators can anonymise or permanently delete user data, and the AI Notetaker has pause, delete and manage controls with HR seeing only that meetings happened

Report an error

Held against it

  • Sovereignty sits at 2-3: Appraisd Ltd contracts under United Kingdom governing law, customer data is stored in Microsoft Azure datacentres in the UK with "other options available", and we found no public information confirming an EU hosting option or the contents of the sub-processors list
  • We found no public information on per-role visibility rules for review data, access logging, a minimum group size for anonymous results, or employee sign-off on reviews
  • We found no public information on learning content, a named LMS, a skills framework with gap analysis, or completion tracking
  • We found no public information on a bulk export of the complete review, goal and feedback history, SCIM provisioning, webhooks, or published API limits
  • We found no public information on where the Tali-powered AI Notetaker processes its transcripts, on the model provider, or on the vendor's EU AI Act position

Report an error

Best for

  • You run a mid-sized organisation of 50 to 5,000+ employees and want configurable review frequency, calculated year-end scores and drag-and-drop calibration on a nine-box grid
  • Your team sets OKRs, SMART objectives, V2MOMs or Rocks and wants check-ins and progress updates pulled into the year-end rating rather than rated from memory
  • You need succession and talent-review tooling — nine-box mapping, critical roles, flight risks, no-successor flags — more than learning delivery
  • You already run a named HRIS such as Workday, Oracle or BambooHR and rely on SSO, a REST API and PowerBI

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You require an EU contracting and hosting chain — the captured pages name a UK contracting entity under UK governing law and Microsoft Azure UK datacentres, with EU model clauses as the stated transfer mechanism
  • You must close a works agreement before rollout — the public material covers retention, deletion and the Notetaker's controls, and the GDPR policy page is dated 1 October 2019
  • You expect the platform to deliver learning content and skills development — the documented development features are goals, competencies and plans, with succession tooling carrying the talent side

The scores

Panel median The median of the judges’ scores per criterion. Each label opens its reasoning below.

Performance reviews & calibration

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The review cycle itself: configurable templates and rating scales, self, manager and 360° input, calibration across teams, and whether each rating can be traced back to criteria fixed before the cycle began.

0 — No structured reviews; at most a free-text form with no cycle, no scale and no record of who wrote what.

3 — Fixed review templates with self and manager input, but no configurable criteria, no calibration and no statement of what the employee sees.

5 — Configurable cycles, questions and rating scales, self, manager and peer input, employee sign-off or acknowledgement, and the review history kept per employee.

8 — 360° feedback with configurable reviewer selection, calibration views across teams with rating distributions, review criteria per role or level, reminders and deadlines per cycle, and a documented rule for what the employee, the manager and HR can each see.

10 — Reviews are an auditable process: criteria and competency models versioned and fixed before the cycle, every rating change during calibration attributed and reasoned, bias checks or distribution analysis described, and the full review history exportable per employee.

Report an error

The Head of HR

Customisable forms and per-team review frequency, calculated year-end scores that weight competencies and objectives, and drag-and-drop calibration views with automatic grid mapping give me ratings I can actually defend, and diversity filtering of aggregated data helps with bias. But I found no public information on reminders and deadlines per cycle, configurable 360-degree reviewer selection, employee sign-off, or a documented rule for what the employee, the manager and HR can each see. 3 4 7

Report an error

The Managing Director

Reviews are genuinely configurable — custom forms, review frequency team-by-team, and year-end ratings calculated by weighting competencies and objectives — and the calibration side is real: scores map automatically onto a nine-box grid, managers drag and drop to adjust, and HR can filter aggregated ratings by diversity data. But we found no public information on employee sign-off, configurable reviewer selection for 360 input, cycle reminders and deadlines, or the rule for who may see what. 3 4 7

Report an error

The People Analyst

Templates, questions and review frequency are configurable per team, year-end calculated scores weight competencies and objectives into a final rating, external reviews can be incorporated, and calibration is supported with automatic score mapping onto the talent grid plus drag-and-drop adjustment of calibrated scores. We found no public information on employee sign-off, configurable 360° reviewer selection, rating distributions across teams, or a documented rule for what the employee, the manager and HR can each see. 3 4 6 7

The Works Council Member

Review templates are customisable per team or cohort, frequency can be set team-by-team, and year-end ratings are calculated by weighting competencies and objectives, with calibration shown as drag-and-drop score changes on a grid mapped from manager ratings. What I could not find: any statement of employee sign-off or acknowledgement, of what the employee, manager and HR may each see, or that a calibration change is attributed to a named person. Without those, I cannot take this into a works agreement. 3 4 6 7

The HR IT Integrator

Review frequency, forms and templates are configurable per team or cohort, year-end ratings are calculated by weighting competencies and objectives, and calibrated scores can be viewed and dragged on the talent grid ready for calibration conversations. What I do not find is the paper trail a system of record needs: no public statement of who may see a review, no per-cycle reminders or deadlines, and peer or external reviewer selection is only hinted at by the phrase incorporating external reviews. 3 4 5 7

The Skeptic

Customisable review frequency per team, editable forms and calculated year-end scores that weight competencies against objectives are evidenced, and calibration is real — drag-and-drop calibrated scores with automatic mapping onto a nine-box grid ready for calibration conversations.

Goals, OKRs & continuous feedback

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The work between review cycles: individual and team goals or OKRs with alignment, progress check-ins, 1:1 meetings with shared agendas, and feedback and recognition — judged on whether the year-end review can draw on it rather than starting from memory.

0 — No goals or feedback features; objectives live in documents outside the product.

3 — Individual goals with a progress percentage, and praise or feedback as an unstructured feed, with no link to the review cycle.

5 — Goals or OKRs at company, team and individual level with alignment, regular check-ins, 1:1 agendas shared between manager and employee, and requested feedback that can be pulled into the next review.

8 — OKR or goal cascading with dependencies and confidence tracking, goal changes logged with history, 1:1 notes with private and shared parts stated, feedback requests to named colleagues, and integrations into Microsoft Teams or Slack for check-ins.

10 — Continuous performance management that feeds the record: goal history, check-ins, 1:1 outcomes and feedback visible in the review with their dates, configurable whether goal attainment affects ratings, and reporting on goal progress across the organisation.

Report an error

The Head of HR

Objectives connect across company, team and individual with on/off-track status markers, timestamped mini-updates, a check-in template library, mutual 1:1 requests, and objectives that pull into the year-end review so I am not rating from memory — with Slack and Teams integrations for the in-between work. We found no public information on goal change history, 1:1 notes with stated private and shared parts, or feedback requests to named colleagues. 5 6 11

Report an error

The Managing Director

This is the core of what I'm buying: objectives connect across individuals, teams and company with on-track and off-track markers and timestamped updates, one-to-ones can be requested by either side with a template library and automatic creation, and all of it is pulled into the year-end review rather than rebuilt from memory. Check-ins even carry engagement questions, and Outlook, Teams and Slack keep the nudges where people already work. On the edges we found no public information on private versus shared parts of one-to-one notes, feedback requests to named colleagues, or dependencies and confidence tracking between goals. 1 5 6

Report an error

The People Analyst

Objectives connect across individuals, teams and the company — OKR, SMART, V2MOM or Rocks — with draft and confirmed sign-off, customisable on-track/off-track markers, timestamped mini-updates and shared objectives, while one-to-ones run from a template library, can be mutually requested, store feedback in the check-in and work through Slack, Outlook and Teams. The part I weigh most is that objectives and progress updates pull into the review and are weighted in the final score, so the year-end rating draws on the record rather than memory; we found no public information on dependencies, confidence tracking, or stated private versus shared parts of one-to-one notes. 4 5 6 11

Report an error

The Works Council Member

The loop between cycles is real: objectives connect across individual, team and company level with time-stamped updates and configurable status markers, one-to-one check-ins can be requested by either side with templates per team, and objectives and progress updates are pulled into the review so the rating does not start from memory. Slack, Teams and Outlook integrations for check-ins are named. I found no public information on whether one-to-one notes split private from shared parts, on feedback requests to named colleagues, or on goal dependencies and confidence tracking. 1 5 6

Report an error

The Skeptic

Objectives connect across individuals, teams and company with customisable status markers and timestamped updates, check-ins run between reviews with templates per team, and — the test I always apply — objectives and progress updates are pulled into the review itself rather than leaving the year-end rating to memory, with Teams and Slack integrations for check-ins and feedback. Dependencies, confidence tracking and a stated private-versus-shared split for 1:1 notes went unevidenced. 5 6 1 11

Learning, skills & succession

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Growing people rather than only rating them: learning paths or course delivery, a skills or competency framework, career paths and development plans, and talent reviews and succession planning for key roles.

0 — No development features; the product rates people but says nothing about developing them.

3 — A development-plan text field or a link to an external course catalogue, with no skills model and no succession view.

5 — Development plans linked to review outcomes, a configurable competency or skills framework, assigned learning content or integration with a named LMS, and career paths per role.

8 — Skills profiles per employee with gaps against role requirements, learning paths with completion tracking and mandatory training, talent reviews (such as a nine-box) with succession plans per key role, and internal mobility shown against open positions.

10 — Development is planned and measured: skills data maintained and versioned, learning outcomes linked to skills and reviews, succession coverage and risk reported per role, SCORM or xAPI content supported or a named LMS integrated both ways, and certificates and training records exportable.

Report an error

The Head of HR

The succession side is genuinely evidenced: a customisable nine-box with automated score mapping from manager ratings, talent profiling that flags critical roles, flight risks, training needs and no-successor cases, plus development plans and personal development goals sitting alongside objectives and competencies that feed review scoring. The learning side is thinner — we found no public information on a skills framework with gap analysis, learning content or a named LMS, career paths per role, or completion tracking. 4 7

Report an error

The Managing Director

The succession half is genuinely there: a customisable nine-box with automated score mapping, talent profiling for critical roles, flight risks and people with no successor, and predefined talent review questions. Development itself exists as development goals within the objectives flow and competencies in the review, but we found no public information on learning paths or course delivery, a skills framework with gap analysis, career paths per role, or any LMS integration. It rates and slots people well; growing them appears to be left to us. 4 5 7

Report an error

The People Analyst

The succession bench is genuinely there: a customisable nine-box with automatic mapping of manager ratings ready for calibration conversations, predefined talent-review questions, and talent profiling that flags critical roles, flight risks, training needs and no-successor cases, alongside development plans and weighted competencies in the review. We found no public information on a skills framework with gap analysis against role requirements, learning content or a named LMS, completion tracking, or internal mobility against open positions — so development is planned through reviews rather than measured through a skills model. 7 8 4

Report an error

The Works Council Member

The succession side is genuinely there: a customisable nine-box grid with manager ratings mapped onto it automatically, profiling for critical roles, flight risks and employees with no successor, predefined talent review questions, and development plans alongside competencies weighted in the year-end rating. I found no public information on learning paths or course delivery, skills profiles with gaps against role requirements, a named LMS integration, career paths per role, or internal mobility against open positions. For a tool that scores people, growing them is documented as plans, not as content. 4 5 7

The HR IT Integrator

Succession planning is well evidenced: a customisable nine-box with scores automatically mapped from manager ratings, talent profiling for critical roles, flight risks and missing successors, and predefined talent-review questions.

Works council, visibility & AI disclosure

Show reasoning
How this is scored

What the employer can put in a works agreement: visibility and access rules per role, anonymity thresholds for surveys and upward feedback, retention and deletion of review data, access logging, and disclosure and control of every AI feature that summarises, scores or suggests ratings.

0 — Nothing stated about who sees which review data, how long it is kept, or what the AI features process; "anonymous" feedback with no threshold.

3 — Role-based access mentioned in general terms and an assurance of confidentiality, but no anonymity threshold, no retention setting and AI features described only as benefits.

5 — Visibility rules per role documented, a configurable minimum group size for anonymous results, retention or deletion of review data configurable, and each AI feature named with its inputs and an option to disable it.

8 — Field-level permissions and private versus shared notes stated, access to review data logged, retention per data type, AI features off by default or switchable per module with the model provider named, and documentation or templates aimed at works councils or a works agreement.

10 — The vendor publishes what a works agreement needs: a complete list of the data each module processes and who sees it, audit logs exportable, deletion runs reportable, AI features never rating or ranking employees without a human action, the EU AI Act position stated, and EU processing for the AI features.

Report an error

The Head of HR

Some of this could go into a works agreement: configurable retention, administrator tools to anonymise or permanently delete data, clear controller and processor roles in the DPA, and an AI feature actually named — Notetaker, powered by Tali — with pause and delete controls and a statement that HR sees when meetings happen, not the content. But I found no public information on role-based visibility rules for review data, a minimum group size for anonymous results, access logging, or any EU AI Act position. 9 10

Report an error

The Managing Director

Some of what a works council would ask about is documented: retention is configurable, administrators can permanently delete or anonymise user data, and the AI Notetaker is named, with control to pause, delete or manage recordings and HR seeing when meetings happened rather than what was said. Beyond that we found no public information on visibility rules per role for review data, a minimum group size for anonymous results, access logging, or material aimed at a works agreement — and nothing describing the inputs and controls of the score mapping and calibration features. 9 10 11

The Skeptic

The GDPR policy names controller and processor roles and offers anonymisation or permanent deletion, and the Notetaker page goes beyond benefit-babble — recording pause and delete controls, configurable retention, and HR seeing when meetings happen rather than their content.

HRIS sync, integrations & data portability

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the tool fits next to the system of record and what leaves with the customer: employee and org-chart sync from the HR system, SSO and SCIM, collaboration-tool integrations, an API, and export of the full review, goal and feedback history.

0 — No HR-system integration and no export; employees and managers are maintained by hand and the history stays in the product.

3 — A CSV import of employees and a PDF export of single reviews, with no named HR-system integration and no API.

5 — Maintained sync with at least one HR system common in DACH (e.g. Personio, SAP SuccessFactors, HRworks), SSO, a documented API, and an export of review and goal data in a structured format.

8 — Several named HRIS integrations including org-chart and manager relations, SCIM provisioning, Microsoft Teams or Slack integration, webhooks, an API with published limits, and a bulk export of the complete review, goal and feedback history.

10 — Portability is designed in: a versioned API with a deprecation policy, a documented full export (structured data plus attachments) available at contract end, deletion that propagates to synced systems, and the vendor maintaining the German HRIS integrations itself.

Report an error

The Head of HR

Sync with 25+ HRIS providers including Workday, Oracle, BambooHR and Cascade, SSO via SAML 2.0, Azure and Google, a REST API, and Teams, Slack, Outlook and PowerBI connections make the tool sit well next to the system of record.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Where performance, feedback and survey data lives, who the contracting entity is, and who the subprocessors are — including the AI providers that summarise reviews and feedback. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. Weighted with the employment relationship in mind: these are judgements about people who did not choose the vendor.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and AI processing of unclear location.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent, or AI features run outside the EU without saying so.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — AI summaries, email, analytics or support — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published including AI providers, and a DPA that covers employee performance data as the customer's processing.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor European, certification published, and the AI features run within the EU on providers the customer can see.

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: the pricing basis (per employee, per active user, per module), which of reviews, goals, engagement surveys and learning sit in which tier, add-ons for AI or analytics, and the minimum term.

0 — No public prices at all; every module is a sales conversation.

3 — A starting price exists, but the pricing basis or which modules it covers is unstated — the invoice is unknowable.

5 — Module or tier prices public with the pricing basis given, but at least one commonly needed piece (engagement surveys, learning, AI features, HRIS integration) is unpriced.

The Skeptic

A pricing page exists in the navigation and a free trial is offered, but the captured pages contain no price, no pricing basis, no module-to-tier mapping and no minimum term — there is nothing here a buyer could multiply by headcount. Every module price is a conversation. 3 5
