Talent reviews that find who's actually ready, not just who's loudest.
Most talent reviews recycle the same names. Confirm's talent review software pulls ONA data from how your people actually work, collaboration patterns, cross-team influence, mentorship signals. The hidden high-potentials surface. The politics don't.
Your talent reviews are missing most of your talent.
The typical talent review process starts with manager nominations. Managers nominate people they know well, people they see in the office, people who presented in the last all-hands. That's not a talent review. That's a visibility contest.
The engineers who quietly unblock three teams a quarter don't get nominated. The operations manager who built the cross-functional relationship that saved a product launch doesn't surface. They're high-potential. They're just not high-visibility. And your talent review never finds them.
The result: you promote the wrong people, develop the wrong people, and lose the right people to competitors who figured out how to actually see them.
The fix is data that sees through the noise. Confirm's ONA measures who's actually driving impact, so your talent reviews reflect reality, not politics.
"[Confirm finds] which workers are vital to the flow of information."
"An effective way of reducing bias and creating an even playing field."
"[Confirm] creates a fairer playing field by expanding leaders' visibility."
ONA profiles reveal the talent your reviews are missing
Confirm's active ONA surveys map who's actually driving work across your company by asking employees directly. Before your talent review session, every employee has an auto-generated profile showing collaboration reach, cross-team influence, mentorship behavior, and contribution signals as recognized by peers. Your reviewers see the full picture, not just who they remember.
Active ONA, ~90 seconds per employee
Confirm's active ONA survey asks brief, research-tested questions at review time. Employees participate willingly, the data reflects honest peer recognition, and there's no passive monitoring or surveillance concern.
Cross-functional visibility
See the employees driving impact outside their immediate team. The PM who aligned three departments. The engineer who mentored six others. These people are invisible in traditional reviews.
Stop the same names cycling through every review
When talent reviews depend on manager nominations, the same people surface every year. Confirm breaks that pattern. ONA surfaces employees based on actual organizational contribution, not relationship proximity to reviewers. Companies using Confirm identify 2.5x more high-potential employees than with traditional methods.
Hidden high-potential discovery
ONA finds employees whose impact crosses team and department boundaries, the people your talent reviews consistently miss until they quit to join a competitor.
Bias detection built in
Confirm flags when reviewers consistently over- or under-rate specific groups, with objective ONA data to redirect the conversation toward actual contribution.
From talent review to development plan in the same session
Most talent reviews produce a list of names. Confirm produces development plans. Once your reviewers align on who's high-potential, Confirm generates development recommendations tied to each employee's ONA profile, their collaboration gaps, influence growth areas, and readiness signals for the next level.
AI-generated development recommendations
Each talent review outcome triggers a development plan suggestion based on the employee's ONA profile and career trajectory data.
Readiness scoring
See which employees are ready now, ready in 6 months, and ready in 12+ months for larger roles. Plan your pipeline with real data, not guesses.
