360 assessment is a method for collecting structured feedback about an employee from multiple raters, typically including self, peers, managers, and direct reports. It is most often used to support employee development, leadership development, and performance-related coaching conversations.
The results are usually summarized in a personalized feedback report that highlights strengths, development areas, and actionable next steps. This type of assessment is also commonly referred to as 360-degree feedback, 360 feedback, multi-rater feedback, 360 reviews and many other terms.
Run anonymous assessments, and control access with role-based permissions. GDPR-compliant data handling keeps 360 feedback confidential and honest.
Remove the manual follow-up and deliver value at scale. Automate and streamline invitations, reminders, and report generation via email or a Distribution Portal.
Give dynamic recommendations based on response data and show each person how their self-evaluation compares to the objective, overall consensus.
Combine responses into team, department, or organization-level reports to identify patterns, skill gaps, and development priorities.

360 assessments involve more moving parts than most assessments. That’s why our professional services team helps you get everything set up the right way from the start.
We assist with rater groups, scoring logic, filters, and report templates, so your 360 assessment is ready to use without trial and error.
You bring the framework and objectives. We help translate them into a solid setup.
After the initial setup, we guide you through a structured onboarding journey with dedicated 1-on-1 sessions.
This ensures a smooth handover, so your team can confidently run, adapt, and reuse the 360 assessment going forward.
And whenever questions arise later on, our global support team is ready to help - wherever you operate.
"You’ll probably roll your eyes now, but I feel like I’m part of the family. My comments have always been well-received by the support team. It feels like we’re brainstorming together. They’re just very accommodating.”
Founder of Attain Global
Design your questionnaire and include a question that identifies the rater group, such as self, manager, peer, or direct report.
Tagging rater groups upfront allows you to filter, aggregate, and compare responses later in the reporting phase.
Result:
Structured multi-rater input, ready for 360 analysis
Assign scores to your scales or competencies and define formulas to calculate averages and comparisons.
By toggling on the inclusion of multiple responses in formula calculation, Pointerpro allows your formulas to calculate group-level scores.
Result:
Consistent 360 scoring across individuals and rater groups
Design report templates that translate results into clear feedback.
Create a “Individual vs Group report type” to compare personal scores with peer or organizational benchmarks, and Group reports to aggregate results at team or company level.
Result:
Clear, actionable feedback for individuals and scalable insights for HR
"I think you guys have done a great job in making this as easy to use as possible and still be robust in functionality."
Account Director at Reed Talent Solutions
What it does:
Generate Individual vs Group reports that compare one person’s results with a selected benchmark, such as peers, managers, or the wider organization. Filters for the individual and the group can be applied separately.
Why it matters:
360 feedback only becomes meaningful when individuals can see their results in context. This comparison helps highlight blind spots, strengths, and development priorities without manual analysis.
What it does:
Combine multiple responses into group-level reports and segment results by rater group, team, department, location, or role using predefined filters and formulas.
Why it matters:
HR and L&D teams need more than individual feedback. Aggregated insights reveal patterns across teams and help prioritize development initiatives at scale.
What it's about:
View 360 assessment results in built-in dashboards or create custom dashboards with filters for rater groups, teams, and roles. Share dashboards via secure links, without exporting data to other tools.
Why it matters:
All 360 data stays in one place. No scattered spreadsheets or BI tools, just clear, shareable insights from a single source of truth.
"If you can dream it, you can build it. There’s no need to look anywhere else."
Founder and CEO at Attain Global

A 360 assessment tool is most commonly used in the context fo HR. It allows a group of co-workers to evaluate an individual’s performance. 360 reviews better highlight the skills and contributions of an employee and their ability to work within a team. When transcribed into a personal advice report, it is a powerful tool to improve self-awareness through constructive feedback.
More broadly, a 360 assessment tool allows you to advise any individual or even an organization based on input (questionnaire response data) from different angles. In other words, a 360 assessment tool gathers feedback from different questionnaires that are completed by different respondents: employees, managers, partners, customers, etc.
With Pointerpro you build 360 assessment questionnaires and personalized 360-degree feedback report templates. Based on your setup, and the responses of each questionnaire each report is automatically fed with specific, relevant feedback.
Organizations use many methods to seek 360 assessment feedback about employees. Some are more common than others and all depend on the culture and climate of the organization. In most organizations that ask for 360 feedback, the manager asks for and receives the feedback.
The manager then analyzes the feedback looking for patterns of behavior to note. The manager searches for both positive and constructive feedback. The goal is to provide the employee with the key and important points without overwhelming him or her with too much feedback data. Often the manager looks for feedback in response to specific questions so the feedback is easier to organize and share.
Some organizations use online instruments that give employees a score in each area assessed. Others still rely on open-ended questions. We recommend online processes because they make the feedback so easy to tally and share.
Organizations hire external consultants to administer the questionnaires, usually when managers are receiving a 360 assessment. The consultants then analyze and share the data with the manager. Most of the time, the manager and staff join together to plan improvements for both the manager and for the department. This process is recommended to improve the organization as well as the performance of the individual employee.
A 360-degree leadership assessment is designed to evaluate a leader’s performance, competencies, and impact from multiple perspectives. It follows the same logic as any other 360 assessment. Unlike traditional performance reviews, which rely solely on top-down evaluations, a 360-degree leadership assessment gathers insights from peers, direct reports, supervisors, and even external stakeholders.
This comprehensive feedback helps leaders identify strengths, areas for improvement, and blind spots in their leadership style. It’s also very valuable for HR departments to let leadership thrive more optimally in their organization. By using a 360-degree leadership assessment tool you enhance self-awareness, communication, decision-making, and team collaboration among leaders.
As mentioned, 360-degree assessments can be used in various HR and organizational development scenarios:
- Employee performance reviews: Providing multi-source feedback to help employees improve skills and collaboration.
- Leadership development: Evaluating managers, executives, and team leaders to foster growth and better decision-making.
- Succession planning: Identifying high-potential employees for leadership roles.
- Team effectiveness assessments: Understanding team dynamics and improving collective performance.
- Company culture & engagement surveys: Measuring organizational health through diverse stakeholder feedback.
- Customer feedback: Gathering external insights to improve service quality and relationships.
The list can go on and on. Pointerpro is a tool that allows you to build an unlimited number of 360 assessments. So with one tool, you serve 360-degree feedback scenarios.
The cost of building a 360-degree assessment depends on several factors:
- Custom-developed solutions vs. professional tools: Basic online survey tools can be free, but advanced tools with a fixed subscription price - like Pointerpro - offer automation, customized reports, and scalability all-in-one. Having the same level of automation and streamlining with a custom solution becomes very costly
- Customization & features: Fully branded reports and integrations with HR systems increase complexity and costs with custom-developed solutions, making it especially prone to unexpected maintenance costs to avoid disruption.
- Subscription-based platforms: Cloud-based platforms, like Pointerpro, offer flexible pricing based on usage and features, making it a cost-effective alternative.If you are a consultant yourself, the platform is perfect for scaling and monetizing your 360 assessments. That way, your investment in the 360 assessment tool pays off immediately.
