Bottom line
Peoplebox combines a Slack and Teams based performance platform (reviews, OKRs, 360s, engagement, compensation) with Nova, an AI recruiter that runs phone screens and interviews. Performance Management starts at $8 per employee a month billed annually, so it suits growing companies that want reviews and goals in one place, with AI hiring available if volume roles are a pain.
Stands out for: Most of the work happens inside Slack or Microsoft Teams, which drives adoption without training, and OKRs can update automatically from tools such as Jira. It is also one of few performance platforms with its own AI recruiter: Nova runs natural phone screens, async video and proctored coding rounds.
Watch out for: The $8 starting price covers Performance Management only. 360 feedback is another $8 per employee and compensation $5, so a full stack can pass $20 a person, billed annually. Nova is quoted separately, interviews are English only for now, and reviewers say some AI meeting prompts feel generic.
Overview
Peoplebox.ai, founded in 2018, is a talent platform that sits next to your HRIS and replaces its performance and recruiting modules. It syncs employee data from HRIS tools such as BambooHR, Workday and Darwinbox, which remain the system of record for payroll and leave.
The talent management side covers performance reviews built on competencies, goals or values, probation cycles, 9-box and calibration, cascading OKRs with project tracking, 1:1 agendas, continuous feedback, engagement and pulse surveys, career frameworks, development plans and compensation planning.
Reviews, feedback, surveys and recognition can be completed inside Slack or Microsoft Teams, and OKRs can pull progress from tools such as Jira. Peoplebox says customers usually go live in two to four weeks.
Nova is the AI recruiter. It screens resumes against your requirements with reasons for each pass or fail, runs natural phone screens at 100+ calls a day, conducts async video interviews and live coding rounds with proctoring, and also holds onboarding, engagement and exit conversations with employees.
Peoplebox is SOC 2 compliant, supports SSO through Okta, OneLogin and Azure AD, and names Razorpay, KPMG, Ripple and Veriff among 600+ customers.
