What Is the People Picker Question Type?
The People Picker question type allows reviewers and/or reviewees to select specific individuals as part of a review. This makes reviews more dynamic and targeted by tailoring who provides feedback on each participant.
How to Set Up a People Picker Question
1. Accessing the Admin Center:
Log in at admin.teamflect.com.
From the left-hand menu, go to Modules → Reviews.
Click Review Question Sets.
Create a new question set or edit an existing one.
2. Choosing the People Picker Question Type:
Within the question set, click on the dropdown menu to select the question type.
Choose "People Picker" from the options.
3. Configuring the Question:
Write your question in the provided text field.
Select the minimum and maximum number of people to be picked for this question.
Choose whether both the reviewer and the reviewee can answer the question.
Select if only the reviewer or the reviewee can answer.
Select if the selected people receive recognition when the review is finalized.
Sending Out the Review:
Once the review is ready, send it out to the participants.
Viewing the People Picker Question in the Review:
When participants receive the review, the question set with the People Picker option will be displayed as per the selected configuration.
What Happens in the Review
Participants will see the People Picker field in their review form.
They can select individuals according to the limits you’ve configured (e.g., 2–5 people).
Feedback flows from the selected individuals into the review cycle automatically.
Depending on your settings, selected individuals receive a recognition badge once the review has been finalized.
Recognition & Nominations Integration
The People Picker question type can also be connected with the Recognitions module to boost employee appreciation and support nominations:
When configuring the People Picker, you can enable the option Send recognition(s) to the selected people when the review is completed.
Once the review is finalized, nominees can receive a recognition badge that the admins have selected and automatically send it to the individuals chosen via the People Picker.
Use Case: Instead of just gathering feedback, you can use People Picker to run peer nominations (e.g., “Nominate 2 team members for collaboration excellence this quarter”). This turns review cycles into a recognition opportunity, directly supporting engagement and culture.
Best Practice Recommendation
We recommend:
Use People Picker with Recognitions during quarterly or project-based reviews to highlight achievements in real time.
Be clear in your question text (e.g., “Nominate 2 peers who best demonstrated collaboration this quarter”).
Balance recognition and feedback — not every People Picker should trigger recognition; use it selectively for nominations or culture-driven initiatives.
Use Cases
The People Picker question type can be applied in many scenarios, such as:
360-Degree Feedback: Select peers, subordinates, or supervisors for broader feedback.
Performance Evaluations: Tailor evaluations to reflect the most relevant working relationships.
Project Reviews: Collect input from contributors or impacted stakeholders.
Team Development: Encourage peer-to-peer feedback for skills and collaboration growth.
Training Evaluations: Gather targeted feedback on facilitators, trainers, or participants.
Succession Planning: Involve key stakeholders in evaluating leadership potential.
Recognitions & Nominations: Link reviews to recognitions by allowing participants to send badges to nominated peers.
