Kaonavi

Japan's #1 talent management SaaS. Centralizes employee databases with photos, performance reviews, 1-on-1s, skill management and org charts in one place.

Editor

While SmartHR handles labor administration, Kaonavi specializes in talent visibility. Managing reviews and 1-on-1 history in Excel hits a wall at 20+ employees, making system migration essential. We adopted it at 30 people and saw significant reduction in manager evaluation burden.
