Features
Everything a review cycle needs
Performance, feedback, development and succession planning, connected in one place your people can trust.
KPIs at five levels
Group, company, department, team and individual KPIs, each set with weights that total 100%.
Behaviour and growth
Competencies for everyone, by position or for one person, rated by the employee and the manager.
Every rating in one view
Individual KPIs and behaviour combine into one final rating per person, worded on your own rating scale.
Reports and the nine-box
Performance and potential across the company, exported to Excel or to a PDF anyone can verify.
Development and succession
Development plans, training and successors for key roles, right next to each person's results.
How it works
Your review cycle, streamlined
Five steps from setting KPIs to paying the bonus, each one recorded.
Step 1
Set KPIs at every level
Start with the company and departments, then each person. A set of KPIs can only be saved once its weights add up to 100%, and the same KPIs can go to several people at once.
- Group, company, department, team and individual
- Individual KPIs linked to the levels above
Step 2
Agree them before they count
The employee and the manager both accept each KPI. After that, a change needs the other side to agree, so nobody is measured on something they never saw.
- Suggest a change instead of accepting
- Every change kept on record
Step 3
Score each period
Results go in period by period, quarterly or however your cycle runs. A closed period locks, so last quarter stays exactly as it was.
- Results compared with each target
- Reminders before each deadline
Step 4
Review side by side
Self and manager scores sit side by side and can be averaged into the final score. Behaviour and growth are reviewed the same way, then combined into each person's overall rating.
- Comments on every KPI and competency
- Approvers sign off at the end
Step 5
Rate and reward fairly
Your performance curve turns results against target into scores, and your bonus split shares out the target bonus. The same rules apply to everyone, and anyone can see how a figure was reached.
- Bonus splits per person, position or role
- Exports to Excel and verifiable PDFs
Who it's for

Highly customisable
Shaped around how your organisation works
No two organisations run performance the same way. nQX Talent adapts to your structure, your rules and your language, so the system fits you instead of the other way round.
- Choose the KPI levels you use, how they are weighted and how often you review
- Your own rating scales, competencies, performance curve and bonus splits
- One assessor or several for each person, counted the way you decide
- Roles that decide who sees and does what, modules you switch on, your logo and colours
What is nQX Talent?
nQX Talent is an integrated talent management system that connects performance, feedback, development and succession planning to help organisations develop their people and strengthen organisational capability.
Who is it for?
Organisations of every size and in any industry: HR and people teams who run the cycle, managers who score and develop their people, employees who agree their KPIs and rate themselves, and leaders who want ratings and bonuses worked out the same way for everyone.
Can we set it up to match how we work?
Yes. nQX Talent is highly customisable. You choose which KPI levels you use and how they are weighted, your rating scales, competencies, review periods, performance curve and bonus splits, how self-assessment counts, the modules you switch on, who sees and does what through roles, and your own logo and colours.
Can more than one person assess an employee?
Yes. An employee can have several assessors, for example their manager and a project lead. You decide how many are allowed, whether the direct manager is always one of them, and whether every assessor's score counts in the final average or only the primary assessor's.
Can we bring in our existing appraisal spreadsheet?
Yes. People, teams and competencies import from Excel or CSV templates, and every row is checked before anything is saved.
How are the final rating and the bonus worked out?
Each person's final rating is the average of their individual KPIs and their behaviour scores. The bonus is shared across group, company, department, team and individual KPIs and behaviour by a bonus split you set per person, position or role, and the performance curve turns results against target into scores.
Who can see which KPIs and ratings?
People see their own. Managers and assessors see the people they review, department and team KPIs reach only the people they concern, and administrators decide everything else through roles. Every change is recorded.
Does nQX Talent cover job evaluation?
No. Job evaluation is done in nQX Value, part of the same nQX people intelligence platform, at value.nqxplatform.com.
