Migrating from PerformYard to Confirm
PerformYard builds clean, configurable review forms. What it can't do: see how people actually work, alert managers proactively, or surface flight risk before it becomes a resignation. This is one of our fastest migration paths.
Why teams upgrade from PerformYard
Rigid form templates
PerformYard's form-builder is clean but rigid. Customizing review templates beyond standard configurations often requires workarounds. Teams with unique review needs find themselves constrained.
No behavioral visibility
PerformYard captures what managers and employees type. It has no way to show how people actually collaborate, who influences decisions informally, or whether someone's engagement patterns are deteriorating.
Analytics stop at the form
PerformYard's reporting covers review completion, ratings distribution, and goal tracking. The analysis ceiling is what people wrote. Confirm surfaces the behavioral layer below the form.
What transfers from PerformYard
All completed performance reviews, ratings, and written feedback export and import cleanly.
Goal history and active objectives migrate with full continuity.
All employee records and org data transfer and sync with your HRIS going forward.
We recreate your existing review templates in Confirm — same questions, same structure, plus ONA context overlaid at calibration.
The PerformYard migration process
Export & planning
We export reviews, goals, and employee data from PerformYard. PerformYard exports are clean. We audit your existing form templates and map them to Confirm's configuration. One call with your HR admin is usually enough.
Confirm setup & import
Configure review cycles matching your PerformYard setup. Connect HRIS. Import historical data. Enable ONA. Validate with your team.
Training & launch
Train HR admin and managers. Confirm's review workflow is familiar to PerformYard users. ONA and AI coaching are additive — managers learn them without losing familiar patterns. Full company launch.
PerformYard migration questions
How does Confirm's review workflow compare to PerformYard's?
Similar structure — configurable review forms, self-evaluations, manager reviews, 360 feedback. Confirm adds ONA data overlaid on calibration, proactive AI coaching in Slack/Teams, and continuous behavioral signals between cycles. Same skeleton, more intelligence.
We've heavily customized our PerformYard forms. Does that transfer?
We map your existing form structure to Confirm during setup. Custom questions, rating scales, and section layouts recreate cleanly. If anything is too specialized, we work with your team to find the right configuration in Confirm.
What does ONA add to our current performance process?
ONA reveals how people actually work — collaboration patterns, who's relied on for decisions, who connects teams. At calibration, managers see behavioral evidence alongside ratings. Between cycles, Confirm flags when someone's patterns suggest disengagement. You go from point-in-time reviews to continuous intelligence.
Can we run a pilot before full migration?
Yes. Start with one department or team in Confirm. Compare the quality of insights to what you were getting in PerformYard. Most pilot teams don't want to go back.
