Employee Self-Evaluation & Performance Review

Review season? Write a self-evaluation that actually reads well — with a proper Employee Self-Evaluation & Performance Review the employee fills in and signs. PaperKit drafts a polished one in seconds: pick the review type — SELF-EVALUATION, ANNUAL REVIEW, 90-DAY / PROBATIONARY REVIEW, QUARTERLY CHECK-IN, or PEER REVIEW — and the whole form reshapes (the title, the framing, the competency and reflection intros, who signs, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean COMPETENCY RATING TABLE: rate each competency on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Outstanding, Exceeds expectations, Meets expectations, Developing, Needs improvement — add a supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE across the rated competencies, with a scale legend right on the form. Then answer a set of REFLECTION PROMPTS — key accomplishments, goals for the next period, challenges & obstacles, development & growth, strengths, support needed, living the values, and feedback for your manager — and each one you answer becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom prompts too, an overall summary comment, and a short sign-off checklist (this is my honest assessment, it's complete and accurate, I discussed it with my manager, I agree to next period's goals, and e-signature consent). The employee is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted form online and submit it to their manager / HR — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't evaluate any employee, set compensation, or make employment decisions; your organization owns its review process, and how reviews are conducted, weighted, and used vary by employer.)

Interview Evaluation & Candidate Scorecard

Running interviews? Stop scoring candidates in a messy doc. PaperKit drafts a proper Interview Evaluation & Candidate Scorecard the interviewer fills in and signs. Pick the interview type — PHONE SCREEN, TECHNICAL, BEHAVIORAL, PANEL, or FINAL — and the whole scorecard reshapes (the title, the framing, the criteria intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean EVALUATION CRITERIA table: rate the candidate on each criterion on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Outstanding, Exceeds bar, Meets bar, Below bar, Well below bar — add a supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE candidate score, with a scale legend right on the form. Then record your overall HIRE RECOMMENDATION — STRONG HIRE, HIRE, LEAN HIRE / MAYBE, NO HIRE, or STRONG NO HIRE — shown as a bold, color-coded decision badge right at the top that also reshapes the closing. Answer a set of structured prompts too — candidate strengths, concerns & risks, technical / role skills, recommended next steps, values & team fit, communication, the candidate's questions, and any notes — and each becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom prompts, an overall summary, and a short interviewer sign-off (this is my own assessment, based on the interview, job-related & lawful, confidential, and e-signature consent). The interviewer is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted scorecard online and submit it to recruiting / the hiring manager — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't evaluate any candidate, make any hiring decision, or screen applicants; your organization owns its hiring process and must evaluate candidates lawfully on job-related criteria only.)

Reference Check Scorecard

Checking a candidate's references? Stop scribbling notes in a doc. PaperKit drafts a proper Reference Check Scorecard you fill in as you talk to the referee — and sign. Pick the reference type — PROFESSIONAL, MANAGER / SUPERVISOR, PEER / COLLEAGUE, ACADEMIC, or PERSONAL / CHARACTER — and the whole scorecard reshapes (the title, the framing, the criteria intro, and the emphasis). Unlike a blank template, it captures THREE distinct people: YOU (the reference checker who signs), the CANDIDATE being referenced, and the REFEREE who gave the reference — with the referee's name, title, company, relationship to the candidate, and the dates they worked together in their own info block. The centerpiece is a clean REFERENCE CRITERIA table: rate the candidate on each criterion on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Outstanding, Above average, Satisfactory, Below average, Poor — add the referee's supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE candidate score, with a scale legend right on the form. Then record your overall RECOMMENDATION — WOULD REHIRE, STRONGLY RECOMMEND, RECOMMEND, RECOMMEND WITH RESERVATIONS, or DO NOT RECOMMEND — shown as a bold, color-coded decision badge at the top that also reshapes the closing. Capture the referee's answers to a set of structured questions too — relationship & context, role & responsibilities, key strengths, areas to develop, reliability & work ethic, teamwork & feedback, would-you-rehire, and any concerns — and each becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom questions, an overall summary, and a short checker sign-off (this reflects the referee's own statements, accurately recorded, referee informed, confidential, and e-signature consent). You're the one recording it, so YOU e-sign the hosted scorecard online and submit it to recruiting / the hiring manager — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't contact any referee, verify any reference, or make any hiring decision; your organization owns its hiring process and must check references lawfully on job-related criteria only.)

Exit Interview Form

Someone leaving? Don't lose the one honest conversation you get on the way out. PaperKit drafts a proper Exit Interview Form the departing employee fills in and signs — the offboarding bookend to your interview scorecard and reference check. Pick the departure type — VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION, INVOLUNTARY SEPARATION, RETIREMENT, END OF CONTRACT, or LAYOFF / REDUCTION IN FORCE — and the whole form reshapes (the title, the framing, the ratings intro, the reflection intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean EXPERIENCE RATINGS table: rate each aspect of the job on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Below average, Poor — for role & responsibilities, manager support, pay & benefits, work-life balance, growth, culture, tools, and add your own — with a supporting comment; PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE experience score, with a scale legend right on the form. Then record the eNPS-style WOULD-RECOMMEND rating — WOULD ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND, WOULD RECOMMEND, NEUTRAL, or WOULD NOT RECOMMEND the company as a place to work — shown as a bold, color-coded badge at the top that also reshapes the closing. Answer the classic exit-interview questions too — reason for leaving, the role & work, what went well, what could improve, management & support, team & culture, pay & benefits, and would-you-recommend — and each becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom questions, an overall comment, an optional HR interviewer block (who conducted the interview, distinct from you), and a short sign-off checklist (this is my own honest feedback, given voluntarily, constructive & good faith, may be shared with HR, and e-signature consent). The departing employee (or HR on their behalf) is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted form online and submit it to HR / people ops — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't conduct any interview, make any employment decision, or store anything for the employer; your organization owns its offboarding process and must use this feedback lawfully and appropriately.)

Stay Interview Form

Don't wait for the exit interview to learn why people leave — ask while they're still here. PaperKit drafts a proper Stay Interview Form a current employee fills in and signs: the RETENTION-side mirror of your exit interview, held BEFORE anyone resigns. Pick the context — ANNUAL STAY INTERVIEW, NEW-HIRE 30/60/90-DAY, POST-PROMOTION CHECK-IN, MANAGER 1:1 STAY CHAT, or AT-RISK RETENTION — and the whole form reshapes (the title, the framing, the ratings intro, the reflection intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean SATISFACTION RATINGS table: rate each aspect of the job on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Very satisfied, Satisfied, Neutral, Dissatisfied, Very dissatisfied — for role & responsibilities, manager support, pay & benefits, work-life balance, growth, recognition, and add your own — with a supporting comment; PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE satisfaction score, with a scale legend right on the form. Then record your own LIKELIHOOD TO STAY — VERY LIKELY, LIKELY, UNSURE, AT RISK, or ACTIVELY LOOKING — shown as a bold, color-coded badge (green → red) at the top that also reshapes the closing. Answer the classic stay-interview questions too — what keeps you here, what might make you leave, what would make this the best job you've ever had, growth & development, manager support, recognition, and pay & benefits — and each becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom questions, an overall comment, an optional manager / interviewer block (who ran the conversation, distinct from you), and a short sign-off checklist (my own honest views, shared voluntarily, constructive & good faith, may be shared with my manager & HR, and e-signature consent). The employee (or a manager on their behalf) is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted form online and share it with the manager / people ops — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private. (This is a convenience template, not legal, HR, or professional advice — PaperKit doesn't conduct any interview, make any employment decision, or store anything for the employer; your organization owns its retention process and must use this feedback lawfully and appropriately.)

Probation / 90-Day Review Form

New hire coming to the end of their probation? Stop writing the review in a blank doc.

Pick the review period — 30-DAY, 60-DAY, 90-DAY, END-OF-PROBATION, or EXTENDED-PROBATION — and the whole review reshapes (the title, the framing, the criteria intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean PERFORMANCE CRITERIA table: rate the employee on each dimension on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Outstanding, Exceeds expectations, Meets expectations, Below expectations, Well below expectations — for quality of work, reliability & attendance, job skills, teamwork, communication, and initiative, add a supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE performance score, with a scale legend right on the form.

Annual Performance Review / Appraisal

Annual review season? Stop starting from a blank doc. PaperKit drafts a proper Annual Performance Review / Appraisal the manager fills in and signs — the recurring sibling of your probation review and interview scorecard, for the employees you already have. Pick the review cycle — ANNUAL, SEMI-ANNUAL, QUARTERLY, MID-YEAR, PROJECT / END-OF-CYCLE, or 90-DAY — and the whole review reshapes (the title, the framing, the criteria intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean PERFORMANCE DIMENSIONS table: rate the employee on each dimension on a 1–5 scale (or N/A) — Outstanding, Exceeds expectations, Meets expectations, Below expectations, Well below expectations — for job knowledge, quality of work, productivity, communication, teamwork, initiative, and reliability, add a supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE performance score, with a scale legend right on the form.

Employee Engagement Survey

Want to know how engaged your people really are? PaperKit drafts a proper Employee Engagement Survey a single respondent fills in and signs — the pulse / engagement companion to your self-eval, stay interview, exit interview, and appraisal. Pick the survey type — ANNUAL ENGAGEMENT, QUARTERLY PULSE, ONBOARDING 30/60/90-DAY, POST-EVENT PULSE, MANAGER EFFECTIVENESS, or eNPS / WOULD-RECOMMEND — and the whole survey reshapes (the title, the framing, the ratings intro, the reflection intro, and the closing). The centerpiece is a clean ENGAGEMENT DRIVERS table: rate each driver on a 1–5 agreement scale (or N/A) — Strongly agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly disagree — for role & purpose, manager support, recognition, growth & development, work-life balance, tools & resources, belonging & inclusion, and confidence in leadership, add a supporting comment, and PaperKit colors each rating and DERIVES an OVERALL AVERAGE engagement score, with a scale legend right on the form. Then record the OVERALL ENGAGEMENT LEVEL — HIGHLY ENGAGED, ENGAGED, NEUTRAL, DISENGAGED, or ACTIVELY DISENGAGED — shown as a bold, color-coded badge (green → red) at the top that also reshapes the closing. Answer the classic engagement questions too — what's working well, what would improve your experience, recognition & value, growth & development, manager support, belonging & inclusion, would-you-recommend, and anything else — and each becomes a tidy question & answer block. Add your own custom questions, an overall comment, an optional administrator info block (the manager / HR recording it), and a short sign-off checklist (my own honest views, shared voluntarily, constructive & good faith, may be shared with my manager & HR, and e-signature consent). The employee (or a manager on their behalf) is the one completing it, so THEY e-sign the hosted survey online and submit it to people ops — there's no second signature, and the page is set to noindex to keep it private.
