Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about LadderHub.
A Career Growth Framework (CGF) defines the levels, skills, and expectations for every role in your organization. It replaces ad-hoc promotion criteria with a transparent, structured path that employees and managers can align on.
Instead of maintaining separate sheets for ladders, skills, and reviews, LadderHub brings everything into one platform. Choose from dozens of ready-to-use career ladder templates, customize them with levels and skills, and use brag documents to track achievements over time.
A Brag Document is a living record of your achievements, written in an "Impact + How" format. Each entry links to specific skills on your career ladder, building a rich evidence base for performance reviews and promotions. The concept was popularized by Julia Evans — read her original post here.

Built for modern teams
Career conversations shouldn't happen in a panic the week before performance reviews. Yet in most companies, that's exactly what happens. Managers scramble to recall six months of work. Employees feel unseen. Promotions hinge on recency bias instead of sustained growth.
We built LadderHub because we've lived this problem. As engineering managers and team leads, we watched talented people struggle to articulate their impact, saw great work get lost in the noise, and felt the frustration of promotion conversations that relied on gut feeling over evidence.
LadderHub replaces that chaos with clarity. By combining structured career ladders with continuous evidence tracking and regular check-ins, we make career growth visible, fair, and actionable — not something that only gets attention twice a year.
