Nominate your peer reviewers

What this achieves

Where a feedback cycle allows it, you pick the peers who will be asked for feedback about you rather than having them assigned. You choose within a minimum and maximum the cycle sets.

Required role: Any signed-in user.

Before you start

Peer nomination is only available where the cycle was set up to allow it. If it was not, the screen tells you peer nomination is disabled for this cycle and there is nothing to do — your reviewers are assigned.

Steps

Go to Feedback & 1:1s → My Feedback and open the nomination prompt for the cycle.
Read how many reviewers you need — the screen states the minimum and maximum.
Check the Already assigned list. Those reviewers were assigned automatically when the cycle launched and count towards your total.
Under Add peer reviewers, search by name or email and pick colleagues.
Check the running summary, which shows how many you have selected and what your projected total is.
Select Save Nominations.

Who is already there

Option	Description
Already assigned	Reviewers the cycle assigned automatically when it launched — typically your manager, and your direct reports where the cycle includes them.
Peers you nominate	The colleagues you add yourself, within the cycle’s minimum and maximum.

Reviewers are shown with their relationship to you: Self, Manager, Peer, Direct Report, Skip-Level, or External.

Choose people who saw the work

The temptation is to nominate people who like you. The cycle produces something useful only if the people you pick were actually placed to observe what you do.

Example: James Whitfield nominating two engineers he pairs with, the product manager whose feature he shipped, and a colleague in Operations who consumed his work gives four genuinely different vantage points. Four friendly engineers from the same standup gives one vantage point, four times.

The minimum exists for a reason

The cycle sets a minimum, and the screen will not let you save below it. Where the cycle is anonymous, the minimum is also what makes anonymity mean anything — a comment from a pool of two is attributable by anyone who can count.

If you cannot reach the minimum with people who genuinely know your work, say so to whoever runs the cycle rather than padding the list.

What you cannot do

You cannot remove a reviewer who was assigned automatically. If an assigned reviewer is genuinely wrong for you — a manager you started under last week, say — that is a conversation with whoever administers the cycle, not something this screen resolves.

What happens next

Your nominated peers are asked for feedback and appear on the cycle’s reviewer list. They see the request on their own feedback page with a due date. Once responses are in and the cycle closes, a result is generated for you from all of them together.
