About Plum

Plum is a cloud-based talent management solution that assists businesses with workforce planning, talent acquisition, succession planning, employee skill development, and talent-building processes. It allows recruiters to conduct analysis surveys for roles to establish match scores between the applicant and role applied via assessment responses.

It offers a social intelligence test, which allows hiring managers to evaluate candidates' responses and understanding of social cues. Managers can conduct Match Criteria Survey to manage behavioral requirements for roles and create personalized development plans to target employees' skills.

We use PLUM for a stepping stone in our hiring process and it is a very helpful tool!

The biggest benefit is to filter out 10s - 100s of candidates to fit a particular style of work that you are hiring for. It is a huge time saver for that feature alone.

Functionality

Pros:

- Behavioral Analysis is great to filter candidates - Building an ideal candidate profile - Easy to sort through and determine which candidates are a good fit - Simple to use for the potential candidate

Cons:

- Monthly pricing doesn't seem right for this type of software. A per-job pricing would be ideal for the way that we use it. - Account management is simple, but seems lacking on a few features - It would be nice to have another section or custom sections for different stages of the interview process rather than just "shortlisted" and "hired"... Many candidates go through several stages of the interview and sometimes want to keep track of that.

Vendor Response

Hi Devon - thanks for this feedback, and for making Plum part of your hiring success! We've listened and added 3 new stages to our next release - Applied, Shortlisted, Interview, In Progress, Disregard, and Hired are all around the corner. For many of our customers who use an ATS we conform to - and integrate with the stages used here, to ensure a streamlined process across platforms and team members. To see the best value with Plum we encourage you to have any and all applicants take the assessment - whether or not you have an open requisite or job criteria. This will highlight rockstars in your talent pool, and give you a sourcing headstart when a new job is posted.

Fastest, the most accurate psychometric tool to date. Our organization did extensive research.

Ability to pinpoint the exact types of personality for our team' desires. Timeline to shorten our screening process with 1000s of resumes.

Pros:

The ability to save exponential amounts of time on screening candidates for our roles. The ability to understand humans more and more after reviewing their profiles.

Cons:

The length of time can be challenging for some people but as long as it's presented properly, it shouldn't be an issue. A lot of the competition have 2-3 hour tests while this is 30-40 minutes.

Nice insights, not so nice service

The tool provides interesting insights into the type of person you are hiring, which is important for understanding the most effective ways to manage and communicate with them. Unfortunately, we were having trouble determining whether the investment was really worth it and they were very rude and unhelpful.

Functionality

Pros:

As personality profiles go, plum is really nice. Interesting text descriptions of the person and the match rating system is easy to understand.

Cons:

Be careful! If you change an applicant to hired plum counts them against your hiring limit regardless of the reason. While they let you change the status from hired back to something else, they will count that applicant as hired and they refuse to accept any reason for changing it back. So don't make a mistake! They will be very rude if you do! The location of functions in the menu system is not very intuitive. Functionality is there but you have to hunt a bit and once you understand it you can find ways to make management easier.

Reasons for choosing Plum

Liked the shared matching criteria.

Functionality

Pros:

Results are genuinely helpful in assessing strengths and weaknesses of potential hires. Based on the Big Five personality traits, I have a high degree of confidence in the validity of the results. The additional hurdle of completing the survey effectively filters out unqualified applicants. Customer support is excellent -- they are very open to sharing additional information and spending time with you to ensure you understand what you need to know.

Cons:

I would like to see how employees rate on all 10 talents as opposed to just the top 5 that are used for scoring. The methodology used for scoring should be a bit more transparent so that swings in results can be explained more easily. How is each of the top 5 criteria weighted? Do the bottom 5 influence the score at all? How do you aggregate each team member's match criteria to arrive at a single score? Is it done at the talent or sub-talent, or sub-sub-talent level? It would be amazing if Plum implemented more ATS system functionality. As it stands, we still have to use a spreadsheet to manage and review candidates alongside their system.

would like more functionality on the development side of people - for example if they have a growth area in managing others, what TED talks or books + chapters + reflection activities would they find useful?

Pros:

It works. It is simple to use and it helps guide you towards what your criteria (soft skills) are for each role you are recruiting for.

Cons:

The only thing that I can think of is the reporting is a little light as in numbers of people completed the assessment for the role, and how they scored. Printing role profile information is cumbersome

Pros:

Plum really helps surface the top candidates - including ones you might not otherwise consider. It makes it really easy to review great candidates without going through hundreds of resumes. It also makes interview prep easy by identifying areas where you might want to dig deeper with the candidate. It even helps with onboarding by identifying coaching opportunities for the candidates!

Cons:

The manager profile can take a little time to complete, but it's worth the work to get it done well!

Functionality

Pros:

Multiple users able to create assessment criteria. Easy for the candidate to use. Gives the candidate a small report for completing.

Cons:

Could improve the navigating/search functionality on the admin end. Detailed reporting available for each position would also add value. Wording on assessments can seem a little harsh when a candidate scores low. Interview questions are generic and guides are not auto generated, requiring extra admin work.

There is nothing out there like Plum when you are looking to hire candidates that are the right fit!

This software helps me screen candidates and saves a huge amount of time when trying to decide the right fit culturally and professionally. It's the first stage of our hiring process and the results on candidates is quite uncanny!
