"Nailing hiring profile with Plum"
5/5
What do you like best about Plum?

This system helped us in 3 very strategic ways.

1) It created incredible alignment with all hiring managers and forced critical conversations about what we were looking for in candidates. As a result, we had much quicker highers and recruiters had a clearer picture of what hiring managers were looking for.

2) It reduced our time to fill roles. It helped our team bring in higher probability candidates, which meant less interviews, higher quality candidates, and a shorter interview process (less interviews required).

Our hiring team loved the ease of use and found the profiles very accurate in terms of matching to what they were looking for.

The Plum team also did an amazing job helping us create the right criteria and aligning our job descriptions to this criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

I really can't think of too much that I didn't like. The only thing I can think of is that I had a Plum rep join me in some meetings to help explain the different plum factors and help our team understand which factors were co-orelated to "big 5". Perhaps there is a way to integrate the co-relation of the "big 5" in the criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, simple and effective"
5/5
What do you like best about Plum?

The results. We have used Plum to evaluate candidates for positions ranging from managers to drivers. The candidates Plum profile has been a reliable predictor of success in each of the positions we've filled in the past year and a half using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

No dislikes. I'd like to upgrade from the Basic level in order to access more features, but I don't have the openings to justify the increased cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the ease of selecting candidates based on our companies values and needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

Not every candidate wants to take the time to complete- however this is a good indication of their work ethic, so we don't want to hire people that aren't willing to put the time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This is one of the best personality profile tests I've ever used"
5/5
What do you like best about Plum?

It seems like the results are strikingly accurate. One thing I really appreciate is that is not only a "good traits" only test. It tests all facets of personality (arguably good and bad) and allow you to see those results. It allows you to set what you need for the role and see the alignment of that person to the role in a very objective manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

I wish we could search a little better through the results. Alerting of new completed test via email would be nice too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super helpful at filtering candidates and preparing for interviews!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Plum?

I love that the Plum platform helps me to identify top candidates without filtering through hundreds of resumes. It's also really helpful at identifying areas to talk through with the candidates in an interview, and in identifying areas where we may need to coach the candidate after hire. I've made a number of hires through Plum with 100% success rate on great people! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

The manager profile can take a little time to create, but it's worth the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adding a little more certainty to hiring"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Plum?

What we like best is that you can't game the software. Our team has tried gaming it several times and been successful so it's nice to know that what we see for scoring is truly a reflection of the applicant. Other tools that I have tried in the past made it very obvious what the question was trying to assess. This made it very easy to submit answers which an applicant might think align with the kind of response our company was hoping to receive. By making the gaming function nearly impossible, we ensure that the personality scores and grades received align with the true personality of the candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

I wish Plum had additional functionality to handle the complete cycle of hiring. Functionality I would like to see would include job posting and custom questionnaires and scoring, applicant tracking and automated responses, and performance reviews. Essentially one tool to take care of our hiring and ongoing personnel needs. I think as a pure personality assessment tool Plum is great. I just wish they would add additional functionality so I could avoid having to use so many products and disparate systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's been a great prescreening tool to get hiring managers involved in the first round of selection "
4/5
What do you like best about Plum?

It sorts all the resumes and applications by title and houses them in one easy to use platform. I like that you can add other team members and managers to collaborate on the process as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

I wish there was a way to you drag and drop the resume files more easily into another location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Informative and Accurate"
4/5
What do you like best about Plum?

I like how you can compare your existing staff with applicants - We have some serious rockstar employees that we'd like to compare with our future hires. We also have had some not so rockstar employees that we compare with future hires (helps us weed out potential bad hires). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plum?

I wish the results stayed "New" until you clicked on the name to review the score and assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
