Plum Reviews & Product Details

It is an easy-to-use software that offers an in-depth analysis of the current workforce. It objectively looks various parameters to determine accurate qualities of the employees, thus helping in mapping the crew's skill level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is comprehensive but fails to consider regional data filters, often necessary when dealing with a small office or a localised branch requiring employees from the same city/community/region. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plum helps organizations in making better talent decisions. It also offers great scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far. It has worked perfectly well so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's useful to weed out people too lazy to complete an application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The results are not reliable. We found people that scored high 90s that turned out to be terrible employees and visa versa Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that the hiring team sets individual match criteria. Also that it gives candidates a detailed overview of their results so that they get something out of the assessment as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not easy to pull a report of the candidates results. While the SSO is convenient, some hiring managers at certain levels cannot/reuse to take the time to sign in and search per candidates name. I like for managers to be able to have a PDF of the candidates resume and any assessment the candidate has completed during their interview so that the hiring manager can reference these items with ease. I attach these PDF's in the email invitation for their convenience and would like to be able to have a downloadable PDF of the candidates Plum results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plum uses an easy to complete survey when you are determining what is needed in a specific new role you are creating. The results are then compared to what the candidates complete. The resulting scores are very insightful and have identified issues to probe with candidates before a final decision is made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm still not quite sure what the "science" is behind all of this - a deeper explanation of the "why it works" would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Match Criteria we use (Innovation, Persuasion, Adaptation, Decision making, Conflict Resolution) and the detailed analysis of each competency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that comes to mind. It's really a good tool for assessments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked the part when you had a bunch of words displayed and had to choose 3 that desbriced you best and 3 that described you the least. This was challenging for me, cause I felt like sometimes, no words were fitting my personnality.

There was another one, practically the same, but with sentences. I really liked that one too.

In the final step, where we see which type of person we are, I liked that it was pretty accurate. Great job for this! If I were an employer, I would use it to work on my way of treating everyone differently.

I also really liked the fact that the interface is quite nice, pretty and fun to use. It's a good idea to have separated Top Talents, Work Style and Work Preferences. It helps us.

I also like the fact that once you have done the test, you can go back to your profile and still see your results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first types of questions, with the puzzles and the logical sequences were really hard for me to do. I think I stayed on these question for almost half of the time I spent on the test. I felt like I was wrong each time I sent my answer. I hope there was no good or right answer!

Even though I didn't like that part, I would not take it out of the test.

You just have to be careful on how you use the results of the test. You can't use the results blindly, you have to make sure that they are accurate with everyone.

I don't know if I can say this is a dislike, but I don't see a place were we can to the test again, like after a year. I would like that option to see if my personnality as changed over a year for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plum does offer a great accurate insight in terms of the candidate's real motivation and attitudes for a specific role. It allows me as a hiring manager to set quantitative benchmarks for comparing several applicants as opposed to the typical gut feeling from choosing one or another Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would prefer to have more visibility about how the success criteria are built after inviting other collaborators to a specific role. I found that people within the organization with different roles have a completely different criteria for a role than the hiring manager and this could potentially skew the results that I'm looking for as the main responsible for the new hire Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love The experience and insights; I enjoyed reading my “profile”: I find some points be 100% about me. Overall the test was engaging and rewarding. I find the IQ part as my favorite. My issue was with finding a way to implement the insight part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not sure how to use it for the career development. The insights were too broad to be actionable. While reading I was thinking about horoscope: like wow it is like me but it also looks like mumbo-jumbo. I would love to see guidance or case studies how to use insights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't take too long to complete, so it doesn't discourage people from doing it. Some other companies I have worked at use an assessment tool that takes almost an hour and I find people give up before completing assessments that long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't find it to be the best indicator of someone's suitability. I have seen people score around 65, but their resume shows that they have many years of valuable experience in our industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
