15Five

🎯 Should you use 15Five?

Buy if: You run a 50+ person company and need performance data to guide workforce planning and backfill hiring decisions.

Skip if: You recruit externally without hiring managers who run structured 1:1s or track employee performance metrics.

⚡ In practice

• ●Setup: 2-3 weeks for rollout across managers and employees
• ●Performance cycles: Useful for spotting high performers to promote internally
• ●Backfill triggers: Links turnover risk scores to open req creation

⚠️ Where it breaks

• ●This is not an ATS and won't help you source or screen external candidates.
• ●Pricing stays hidden until you book a sales call, which wastes everyone's time.

💸 Is it worth the money?

No public pricing means you negotiate blind, and most companies pay $8-15 per employee per month based on competitor ranges. Worth it only if your recruiting team partners tightly with talent development and uses retention data to forecast headcount.

🆚 If not this

• ●Lattice -> Cleaner UI, better for companies under 200 people
• ●Culture Amp -> Stronger engagement surveys if you care more about culture metrics than OKRs

🎯 Final verdict

Buy if internal mobility and retention drive your hiring strategy; skip if you just need to fill reqs from outside talent.
