FAQs
Questions about Calibration
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Performance calibration is a process where a calibration group reviews and adjusts manager ratings after reviews are submitted. In Profit.co, calibration uses a bell curve to compare scores across teams and make sure ratings are fair and consistent before any review is finalized.
Calibration is designed for HR Super Users and designated calibration group members. Individual contributors and managers see their own review data but not the calibration curve or other employees’ scores, keeping the process confidential and fair.
Yes. Calibrated scores appear in the Review Summary alongside the manager rating and self-assessment. You can filter the bell curve by specific review cycles and compare scores based on real OKR performance data from the same period.
Calibration group members can adjust scores right up until the review is finalized. If performance data changes before the review closes, the bell curve updates to show the new distribution so targeted and actual scores always stay current.
Yes. Profit.co offers a free trial with no credit card required. You can set up a performance review, add calibration group members, and run your first calibration session in minutes.
Most HR teams run their first calibration session on the same day they set up their review cycle. The bell curve configures automatically based on your target distribution settings, with no manual data entry needed.
Yes. Calibration data is visible only to Super Users and designated calibration group members. Individual scores and the calibration curve are not shown to employees or managers outside the process until the review is formally closed.
Yes. Profit.co connects with Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Azure DevOps, and Salesforce. Your performance and calibration data stays in one place, linked to the tools your teams already work in every day.
