It is easy to use and understand. It helps in the recruitment process. Multiple users able to create assessment criteria. Easy for the candidate to use. Gives the candidate a small report for completing. Another tool to assess culture fit within our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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?

I would like a deeper problem-solving/IQ section, and for that section to be timed.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how clearly the characteristics are framed. It's easy to understand the difference between options and they really round out the possible set of traits you're looking for as a hiring manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes found it difficult to name traits that are truly low priority, though it did make me think critically about what mattered most in the role! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how simple it is to use the plum interface to screen applicants. We're getting so many requests a day, it's easy to quickly screen them for fit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The old user interface was clunky, but they've released a new one that is much easier to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plum's survey helped my company identify candidates that best fit the need for the position i am looking to fill. It has allowed me to quickly rank candidates then easily review their resume and cover letter without taking up too much of mine time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The questionnaire that candidates fill out seem to be too complex and might make top candidates not apply to the job. I agree with the ranking of task/characteristics for that position but not identifying the next item in the pattern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was able to send the survey out to my top performers from over the years and identify their personality traits that made them successful at their jobs. This also helped the mgmt team eliminate biases and really defined who our ideal candidate is. I have personally hired 7 staff members over the past year using Plum and their success in integrating into the team and ability to flatten the learning curve has been noteworthy. As a result of which, we have now upgraded to Plum Ultraviolet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The results were static and inconvenient to breakdown, compare and play with. Eg. John scored x on industriousness - how does his industriousness compare to others? Sure one can go in and our of each profile to compare this from one candidate to another but an ability to filter and compare strengths would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Plum asses a variety of candidate qualities and provides a single metric for recruiters to use to make decisions. I also like that Plum assists with reducing bias in the hiring process by reducing the importance of a CV/resume review. It also saves us time for recruiters by providing an initial screening phase so we are having to review less CVs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that Plum provide more guidance for how individual sub-scores can be used to drive hiring decisions. I also wish there were more support on how scores can be analyzed for applicants outside of North America/Europe (to have a better understanding of how things like English fluency and cultural context play in to scores).

Plum provides intelligent insights to candidates prior to the interview phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the questions can be quite polarizing and we've heard from candidates it made them overthink the process of completing the assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plum is so easy to use that you can't get lost or confused, and the results are immediate and actionable - it's been so helpful to us as we aim to slim down from hundreds of applications per job to a manageable and high-quality quantity .

You can also plug Plum into multiple other hiring softwares (eg. Greenhouse) and use it to improve your insights on hires as well as test for critical role criteria right at the start of your hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't experienced any real downsides to the Plum software yet - it's intuitive and works well as a standalone or a plug-in tool. No hesitations in recommending it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I LOVE the new platform. Ultraviolet makes complete sense. I really like how the candidates remain "New" for up to 72 hours. I also really like being able to look at a candidate and how they match up for different positions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the candidates would remain new until they have been reviewed by one of the admin users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
