How to assign career path positions to employees

Career path positions play a key role in shaping the content of Performance Reviews in Nailted. Each position is directly linked to a specific set of competencies and associated questions. When a Performance Review is launched, the system uses the person's assigned position to determine which questions should be presented to them.

This means that the position not only defines the expectations for an employee's role, but also guides the performance evaluation process by surfacing relevant competencies and tailored questions. As a result, reviews become more personalized, structured, and aligned with each individual's career development path.

By leveraging career path positions in this way, organizations ensure that feedback is meaningful, targeted, and supportive of long-term growth for both employees and teams.
