Ask HN: Why are annual reviews so broken?

I'm working on a problem in this space and my current line of thinking is...

1) there isn't very good definition of what most jobs are.

2) the definition isn't pulled through all your human capital management systems (recruiting, onboarding, career management, performance management, and off boarding).

So, I'm working on building a product that pulls 1 + 2 together.

Isn't having ill-defined job titles an advantage to a company? If someone has clearly defined duties, that makes it difficult to extract more forms of work from them for the same pay.

In a zero-sum scenario, yes.

But the positive-sum scenario would be: employees will be more productive if expectations are clear.
