Intent

I need it when

Increase completion rates and quality of performance reviews

Textio simplifies the feedback workflow with easy-to-use tools for informal feedback, performance reviews, self-assessments, and peer/upward feedback. Customers report higher completion rates on performance reviews, higher quality feedback in all directions, and more motivated teams.

Scale feedback best practices across the organization without expensive training

Textio replaces ineffective manager training with in-the-moment help that managers actually use and remember. The platform meets managers where they work with shortcut prompts, tone adjustment, and AI-assisted writing, enabling every leader to become a great coach without classroom sessions.

Improve manager feedback quality and reduce bias in performance reviews

Textio provides real-time guidance to managers as they write feedback, flagging biased language (ageism, sexism, racism) and suggesting growth-oriented alternatives. AI-powered risk detection removes inappropriate comments about appearance or parental status, helping managers write fair assessments that cut review writing time by 50%.

Make faster, fairer hiring decisions with structured interview feedback

Textio's interview feedback feature aligns interview questions to job requirements and documents feedback for every candidate, helping teams avoid bias and focus on skills rather than subjective impressions, enabling quicker hiring decisions.

Integrate feedback guidance into existing HR and performance management systems

Textio extensions plug into performance management systems and HRIS platforms, bringing real-time feedback guidance directly into tools managers already use, eliminating the need to switch between applications.
