Performance reviews and performance plans finished in minutes
Most small business owners know exactly how each person on their team is doing. Writing it down is the part that never gets done. A review template hands you a blank form for every person: rating boxes, empty lines and an evening of writing.
performerborn works the other way around. Talk or type a few words about each person and we write a finished review. About 3 minutes per person, checking included. You check it says what you meant, change anything you like, approve it, and download a PDF ready to print and sign.
Running a sales team? Just say the numbers. Results against plan are laid out for you.
Every review is designed around decades of workplace research on feedback people accept and act on: real examples, clear goals and room for your employee to respond. No rating scales and no scores. Reviews are drafted with the help of AI from your own notes, and nothing is final until you approve it.
We also write improvement plans: dated examples, clear goals, the support you will give and check-ins, with a one page meeting guide for you. They are plans, not write-ups, and not legal advice.

Your privacy
We only use what you tell us to write your reviews. Names, notes, recordings, reviews and logos are deleted 30 days after your order is delivered, or 60 days after a start you never finish. We never use them for marketing.
