What is Performance Appraisal?

A structured evaluation where a manager assesses an employee's job performance, achievements, and growth areas over a set period.

Why it matters in hiring

Performance Appraisal 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.
