Real Stories from Peoplebox.ai Users

See why Peoplebox.ai is the go-to for smarter people management. Join the ranks of forward-thinking HR teams who power business impact through performance reviews.

We've been working with Peoplebox in adopting the OKR and performance review tool. The Performance Review module that Peoplebox has developed by far has to be one of the most easy-to-use tools. Driving the entire interface through slack is simply brilliant esp for a tech product company! This is perhaps one of the other reasons I've loved working with Peoplebox.ai.
