Confirm Launches AI-Powered One-Click Performance Reviews, Bringing Speed, Fairness and Simplicity to Performance Management
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Confirm, the all-in-one people platform that creates a true reflection of each employee's impact and influence using Organizational Network Analysis (ONA), today announced the launch of One-Click Performance Reviews, a revolutionary AI-powered solution that writes performance reviews for managers and employees — cutting through the time, frustration and unfairness that plague traditional review processes. Everyone hates performance reviews — employees, managers and HR alike. They take too long, deliver too little value and often feel unfair. They also take away managers' and employees' day-to-day work. And above all else, they're ineffective: Gallup research found that just 21% of employees strongly agree that they have performance metrics within their control, and even less (14%) strongly agree that the performance reviews they receive inspire them to improve. One-Click Performance Reviews changes that. By pulling real work data directly from tools like Jira, Asana, CRMs and other tools that employees use each day to complete their work, Confirm's AI-powered platform automatically drafts self-reflections and manager reviews that are grounded in an employee's actual contributions. The result: self-assessments that reflect an employee's real work, and first drafts of data-driven reviews that managers can refine before submitting — instead of spending hours drafting from scratch. 'The number one pain point across the entire performance management ecosystem is that people hate the process — they hate the time it takes, the lack of value they get out of it, and how unfair it feels,' said David Murray, CEO and cofounder of Confirm. 'One-Click Performance Reviews put an end to all of that. We're eliminating the busywork and bringing fairness back to performance management — giving employees and managers time back to focus on what actually matters.' One-Click Performance Reviews delivers the following key benefits for organizations of all sizes: Save time at every level, freeing employees, managers and HR from administrative overload. Ground reviews in real work, pulling objective data from work platforms like Jira, Asana, CRMs and other tools that employees are actually using — instead of relying on memory or office politics. Effortlessly scale across teams, roles and industries with consistent and painless reviews. Drive fairness and impact, making reviews faster, fairer, more valuable and rooted in contributions that matter. One-Click Performance Reviews are now available in private beta, and Confirm will be showcasing the platform next week at UNLEASH America in Las Vegas at Caesars Forum. Organizations ready to revolutionize their performance management process can learn more about and sign up to join the private beta here. For more information on Confirm, please visit: About Confirm Confirm is the first platform to inject science into performance reviews, ensuring advancement is based on data, rather than company politics or the loudest voice in the room. Designed for the new world of collaborative and remote work, Confirm is the first to leverage Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) in performance reviews, quantifying employee influence and impact, and giving leaders clear visibility into who they can't afford to lose and the hidden quiet contributors — as well as the problematic employees who excel at managing up. Leading businesses such as Niantic Labs, Canada Goose, Bolt, and Substack rely on Confirm to make data-driven decisions on employee development, promotion and retention. Learn more at
