How it works
Honest feedback, without the awkwardness.
KudosLift replaces long review forms with one simple question per skill: where would you place each colleague on the board? Here is the whole flow.
-
Open a campaign
A campaign is one feedback round with a start and an end date. Invite people by email; they join your company space with their own account.
- Pick the dates that fit your review cycle
- Group people with tags, for example by team
- Decide who reviews whom with access rules
-
Everyone places colleagues on the board
For each skill, people drag colleagues along a scale from 1 to 6. Because everyone sits on the same board, every answer is a comparison, not a polite 4 out of 5.
- One board per skill, seven skills in total
- Optional comments with a kindness check from AI
- Answers can be changed until the campaign ends
-
Read the results together
Each person sees where colleagues placed them, relative to the team average, together with the comments they received. You see the picture of the whole team.
- Anonymous: no names next to answers
- Team statistics refresh once an hour
- Results stay available after the campaign

Communication
The seven skills
Every campaign covers the same seven skills, so you can compare results from one round to the next.
-
Hard programming skills
Quality of technical work and code.
-
Hard operations skills
Running, maintaining and supporting systems and processes.
-
Communication
Sharing information clearly and at the right time.
-
Understanding
Grasping the problem, the context and what others need.
-
Self-sufficiency
Moving work forward without constant guidance.
-
Focus and motivation
Energy and attention for the work that matters.
-
Work management
Planning, prioritising and delivering on commitments.
-
Scored from 1 to 6
Every skill gets its own board: 1 means room to grow, 6 means role model.
Questions HR teams ask
Is it really anonymous?
Yes. Results show positions and comments without names. Team statistics refresh once an hour, so nobody can match a score to the moment it was given.
How much time does it take?
Placing colleagues on a board takes a few minutes per skill. Most people finish a whole campaign in one sitting.
What does the AI do?
It reads comments before they are shared and suggests a more constructive wording when needed. It does not score, rank or judge people.
Can we use the results for promotions or layoffs?
KudosLift is a development tool. Use results to start conversations, not to make automated decisions about people.
What about new joiners?
You can let new joiners give feedback before they see results about themselves, so they ease in at their own pace.
