Probation Review Questions

You should use probation reviews as an opportunity to provide feedback to the employee, and assess their performance during the early stages of their employment.

We recommend having onboarding and probation meetings with a new employee in the first week, then subsequent meetings in months one, two, and three.

  Check out the StaffCircle University for guidance on completing reviews with StaffCircle.

Alternatively, you can refer to this section of our knowledge base for guidance on creating reviews within the platform.

You may wish to consider the following questions for your probation reviews:

1. How do you feel you've adapted to the team and company culture during your probationary period?
2. Can you share examples of specific accomplishments or projects you've contributed to since joining the company?
