What Peoplebox does
Peoplebox is a people-management platform that handles performance reviews, goal-setting (OKRs), employee development plans, compensation planning, and engagement surveys in a single place. Its AI layer, called Nova, generates draft goals, produces personalised 360-degree feedback reports, and summarises reviews — reducing the manual writing that typically slows HR cycles down.
On the hiring side, Nova operates as a separate AI recruiter that can screen resumes, conduct phone and video interviews, and run structured candidate conversations at scale. The platform connects with solutions many teams already use — Slack, Microsoft Teams, BambooHR, Jira, and Salesforce — so employees can complete reviews and submit feedback without logging into a separate system.
Implementation is estimated at two to four weeks, and rollout is usually straightforward. Pricing is modular: you pay only for the modules you switch on, billed per employee per month on an annual basis, with the AI recruiter (Nova) priced separately on a custom basis.
Key capabilities
AI-Generated Goals and OKRs
Nova drafts OKRs and goals that cascade from company level down to individual employees. Progress can be tracked in real time so managers can spot misalignment early.
Configurable Performance Reviews
Reviews can be built around competencies, goals, values, or any combination, with custom rating scales and review types including self, peer, and 360. There are no fixed templates.
AI-Summarised 360 Feedback
Nova compiles multi-rater feedback into personalised reports, cutting the time HR and managers spend writing and collating feedback narratives.
Engagement Surveys and Check-ins
Pulse surveys and quarterly AI-led check-in conversations surface disengagement trends across teams before they result in turnover.
AI Resume Screening and Interviews
The Nova AI Recruiter module scores resumes against role requirements and conducts phone or video interviews, including follow-up questions — available at volumes of 100-plus calls per day according to the vendor.
Slack and Teams Integration
Employees can complete reviews, give feedback, and respond to surveys directly inside Slack or Microsoft Teams without switching to another application.
Best for
- HR teams spending significant time manually writing review summaries, chasing feedback, or managing OKRs across spreadsheets
- Organisations that want to pay only for the HR modules they actually use rather than one bundled suite
- Companies already using Slack or Microsoft Teams who want HR workflows to live inside those solutions
- Teams with high-volume hiring needs — for example, seasonal roles or recurring phone-screening rounds — where recruiter capacity is a bottleneck
- Businesses using BambooHR, Jira, or Salesforce that want performance and hiring data to connect with existing systems
Worth knowing
- Pricing stacks by module: running performance reviews, 360 feedback, IDPs, compensation, and engagement simultaneously reaches $26 per employee per month before Nova AI Recruiter, which carries a separate custom price — model the full cost against your headcount before committing
- Annual billing is required, so the platform is less suited to organisations needing short-term or month-to-month flexibility
- Nova AI Recruiter is priced on a custom basis, meaning you will need a sales conversation before you can compare its cost against standalone ATS or recruiting solutions
- The platform is designed to complement your existing HRIS (such as BambooHR or Workday) rather than replace it — if you are looking for a single system covering payroll, leave, and headcount records, this is not that
- If your organisation only needs one narrow capability — say, engagement surveys alone — point solutions built for that single use case may offer more depth at lower cost than adding a modular platform
