Invite raters to your assessment

A self-assessment tells you how you see yourself. Raters tell you how others see you. After you finish an assessment, you can invite colleagues to rate you on the same instrument. The full 360 report unlocks once 3 raters have responded.

Before you start

You need a completed self-assessment. The Manage Multi-Rater panel appears on the finish screen after you submit, and on each of your reports afterward. See Take an assessment.

Invite raters

There are two ways to invite, and you can use both:

1. Copy Link: copies your personal rater link. Send it yourself over email or chat. Anyone who opens it enters their name and their relationship to you, then rates you.
2. Invite via Email: enter a rater’s email address and select Send Invitation. The platform sends the invitation for you. The rater fills in their own name and relationship when they open it.

Either way, raters register with their name and their relationship to you, take 5-10 minutes to answer, and their individual responses stay confidential.

Who to invite

Pick people who actually see you work: peers, direct reports, and your manager. Aim for more than the minimum. Five to 8 raters give a steadier signal than exactly 3, and they protect against a couple of non-responses stalling your report.

Why 3 responses

Confidentiality. Individual answers are never shown; rater scores only appear once at least 3 people have completed, so no single response can be traced back to a person. Until then, your report shows self scores only.

When your raters are already listed

Your organization may work with LeaderFactor to list your raters ahead of time, for example when your leadership team takes a 360 together. If it has, those raters are invited automatically when you submit, and they’re already in the rater table on the finish screen. If you had already finished the assessment before the list was set up, your raters are invited when it is.

A list applies to one assessment only. Taking a different assessment doesn’t invite anyone from it. Nobody is emailed twice: raters already invited for this assessment aren’t invited again when you retake it, and a rater who works with two leaders on the list gets one invitation for each. You can still add more raters yourself.

Track your invitations

The rater table lists each person with their name, email address, relationship, and status: Invited, In Progress, or Completed. To send a reminder, fix a typo, or remove a rater, see Manage your raters.
