What is Annual Review?
A once-a-year formal performance evaluation that summarizes an employee's contributions, goal achievement, and development over the preceding 12 months, often tied to compensation and promotion decisions.
Why it matters in hiring
Annual Review comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
