Overview

At JobHire AI, we are revolutionizing the recruitment landscape with AI-driven solutions. Having successfully implemented the OKR framework, we are now ready to take our high-performance culture to the next level. We are looking for a seasoned Freelance Performance Management Expert to design and launch a comprehensive, next-generation performance evaluation system.

The Mission

Your goal is to launch and build a scalable performance management framework that aligns individual growth with company goals, utilizes cutting-edge AI methodologies, and drives team efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• System Design: Develop a bespoke performance management framework tailored for a fast-paced AI startup (including performance reviews, 360-degree feedback, and competency mapping).
• AI Analytics Integration: Implement AI-driven tools to analyze sentiment in feedback and identify patterns of high performance or potential burnout.
• Continuous Feedback Loop: Move away from annual reviews to a "Continuous Performance Management" model with real-time feedback and regular check-ins.
• Data-Driven Competency Mapping: Use AI to map current team skills against industry benchmarks and predict future talent needs.
• Predictive Performance: Establish leading indicators of performance using data from Slack, Jira, or CRM rather than just lagging indicators.
• Integration: Ensure the new system seamlessly integrates with our existing OKR framework.
• Enablement: Conduct workshops and create guides for leads on how to give/receive feedback and conduct meaningful 1-on-1s.

Project Timeline:

Phase 1: Tool selection and template creation (AI-integration focus).

Phase 2: Pilot launch and training for Team Leads.

Phase 3: Full rollout and handover.
