Peer recognition, inside Slack
Nobody tells you the good stuff.
They think it. They just never say it.
So kudoSnap asks for them. Everyone on your team gets one question a day — “Who's the first to help when someone's stuck?” — and four names to tap. Whoever they pick hears about it. They just never hear who said it.
It explains itself
Getting noticed is what makes you notice someone else.
A coworker said you keep your cool under pressure.
2 people voted for you. Want to see who?
You'll want a name. Getting one means answering one question yourself. Three seconds, and somebody else hears something good about themselves because you were curious.
No rollout. No training. No all-hands.
Written by everyone but you
You're the only person who can't watch you work.
Personality tests, strengths finders, the annual self-review — they all hand you the questionnaire, then hand your own answers back. kudoSnap is the only one where the inputs come from outside: the people who've been watching you for years.
The questions
- Who do you trust most to hit a deadline?
- Who's best at making tough calls?
- Who do you trust to make sense of ambiguity?
- Who notices the detail nobody else caught?
- Who asks the question that changes the whole conversation?
- Who's the best brainstorm partner?
- Who explains complex things the clearest?
- Who's the first to help when someone's stuck?
- Who would you want leading a new project?
- Who gives the most useful feedback?
- Who makes new people feel welcome?
- Who keeps their cool under pressure?
- Who do you trust to own something end-to-end?
- Who would you trust to make the call when nobody agrees?
- Who do you go to when something's broken and nobody knows why?
- Who's the person you want reviewing it before it goes out?
- Who sees problems before anyone else?
- Who's the first to try something new?
- Who writes the clearest docs?
- Who connects ideas across different teams?
- Who keeps meetings on track?
- Who gave you feedback that actually changed how you work?
- Who makes everyone feel part of the team?
- Who would you want on your team for a fire drill?
Four names and a tap. No typing, no ratings, nothing to write — three seconds, once a day at most, and ignoring one costs nothing.
Nobody's keeping score
No points. No badges. No leaderboards. No taco currency.
Nobody can say anything bad about anyone — there's no text box, and every question asks who's good at something. And your votes go one place: to the person you picked, and only if they answer a question of their own.
The part you can't do yourself
You've been told good things before. You probably couldn't repeat three of them.
Nothing was ever counted. kudoSnap counts — and after enough of them, a person comes into focus.
“Otto notices what everyone else walked past, tries it before anyone asks him to, and turns up first when someone's stuck.”
Twenty-four coworkers, eleven weeks, one three-second question at a time — and none of them knew what the others had said.
Thirty seconds
Somebody on your team hasn't heard the good stuff yet.
It's a Slack app. Two clicks to add it, no admin approval needed — and the first question lands in your own DMs today.
