Comprehensive software for all talent related solutions **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2022 **What do you like best about Plum?** 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. **What do you dislike about Plum?** 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. **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being a user, Plum helps in identifying and understanding the areas where I lack the necessary skills. It helps highlight the spikes in the resume so that I can further strengthen my case. Through its plethora of tests, one can learn and improve in personal areas, which is also very satisfying. ### 2. A revolutionary platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Smriti S. | Employee Resource Center, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Plum?** Plum helps organizations in making better talent decisions. It also offers great scalability. **What do you dislike about Plum?** Nothing so far. It has worked perfectly well so far. **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** It definitelty has helped me in taking better talent decisions and improved the candidate experience. ### 3. Helpful tool but don’t make it your only one **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Plum?** It's useful to weed out people too lazy to complete an application **What do you dislike about Plum?** The results are not reliable. We found people that scored high 90s that turned out to be terrible employees and visa versa **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** Screening candidates is a bit easier with plum ### 4. Fantastic pre-qualifier in the interview process. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Plum?** 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. **What do you dislike about Plum?** 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. **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** Eliminating candidates that do not have the core required talents up-front. Also being able to ask more focused questions during the interview to fully assess their skills. Time is being saved and interviews are more effective. ### 5. Plum - great assesment tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aernout v. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Plum?** The Match Criteria we use (Innovation, Persuasion, Adaptation, Decision making, Conflict Resolution) and the detailed analysis of each competency **What do you dislike about Plum?** Nothing that comes to mind. It's really a good tool for assessments **Recommendations to others considering Plum:** I have worked with various assessment tools over the years, and I must say that Plum is really among the best. Easy to use, and great analytics. **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use the tool for our clients to assess their employees on their Intrapreneurship skills, helping to identify Intrapreneurs in their organizations ### 6. The plum test was challenging at first (with the puzzles) but then it got interesting. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Valérie B. | Assistante stratège en publicité numérique, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2020 **What do you like best about Plum?** 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. **What do you dislike about Plum?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Plum:** It's really interesting to take a look at the results after doing the test. Some things are right, some things are wrong. I think it's a good tool to have a bigger picture of employees. Advice : I would use it for that, to picture what type of employees I have and to make sure I treat them accordingly. As I said earlier, I don't know if this is available, but it would be great if there was a way to do the test in a year or so, to see if our personalities have changed. I think it would be a great way to see our evolution. **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** We (employees) only used plum to do the test, this test was then sent to our employers. Our employers will use it to track our strength and weaknesses. They will use it to see were in the business we should be. We are currently in the process of dividing jobs between employees, so the plum test is quite helpful to them. We used plum to see differences between people in our workplace. Which person is best suited for different kinds of jobs. For now, we didn't get any news on how our employers really used the results. They are suppose to come back to us soon with it. ### 7. Great aid for hiring managers **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2020 **What do you like best about Plum?** 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 **What do you dislike about Plum?** 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 **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fair comparison in terms of candidates skills and attitudes - This fills in the gap from the information I receive in a CV Centralized dashboard for all applicants - I save time not having to check other platforms when looking for this information Quick filter through those applicants that are not entirely sure whether the role motivates them or not ### 8. It was entertaining but not actionable **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Plum?** 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. **What do you dislike about Plum?** 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 **Recommendations to others considering Plum:** The process is very straightforward; users clearly understand what and why they need to perform **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not sure I got something back from it. My hr team didn’t follow up. But that is understandable... there is the COVID 19 with more important and immediate issues. However I shared with the direct manager. She liked it. I will try to leverage findings for the goal setting next year (personal development) **Official Response from Sydney Rohr:** > Thank you for your review, it is great to see that your Plum Profile stands out and resonates with you.

Functional Assessment tool **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2020 **What do you like best about Plum?** 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. **What do you dislike about Plum?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Plum:** Use Plum as a help in hiring, but also review resumes. Sometimes qualified candidates score low. **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're weeding out the severely unqualified or those too lazy to do 20min worth of work. I’ve had a few applicants that claimed these assessments are rigged against the older generation and refused to invest time into completing it. ### 10. Aspiring wealth advisors **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Danish S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2020 **What do you like best about Plum?** It is a very focused and methodical platform. By targeting specific qualities, it is able to realize the exact firm requirements. **What do you dislike about Plum?** Some of the questions can be confusing and as a person providing feedback, I felt I was contradictory at times. **Recommendations to others considering Plum:** The software is different from the regular market questionnaires. It creates a very focused platform to hire new talent. **What problems is Plum solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are trying to find the next generation of wealth advisors that have the skills to be successful as me. ## Plum Discussions - [How many candidates can I assess for a role?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/candidate-volume) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What science is your assessment based on?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/science-validity) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Does Plum provide “off-the-shelf” job profiles?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/job-profiles) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What will I be able to do with the free trial?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/free-trial-3710b152-694e-4184-8374-3b24a6f87b35) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [How do I integrate Plum with my other HR and Talent applications?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/integrations-130ea63f-68a2-4a79-87ee-be8e4000b665) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Plum pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/plum/reviews/plum-review-2163821?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-18+02%3A05%3A43+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=3c3295ff-0baf-471c-83ca-5eba839a1655&secure%5Btoken%5D=b9e93855c9fd2853af697a65376b9776cd6cf08aa2caae0b0c84ddab0eacaf5e&format=llm_user) ## Plum Features **Visitor Behavior** - Monitoring - Targeting - Guided Selling **Platform Basics** - Interoperability - Performance - Reporting **Basics** - Reporting - Interoperability - Performance **Basics** - Reporting - Interoperability - Performance **Platform Functionality** - Sourcing and Candidate Identification - Job Posting - Applicant Tracking **Platform Basics** - Reporting - Interoperability - Performance **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - SAP Store** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Templates** - Library - Customization - Optimization **Platform Data** - Platform Search - Visualization **Additional Functionality** - Mobility - Dashboard **Additional Functionality** - Dashboard - Cloud - Mobility **Platform Content - Talent Assessment** - Candidate Screening - Content Library - Assessment - Portal - Emotional Intelligence - Logical Reasoning - Big Five - Psychometric **Platform Content ** - Employee Development - Career Development **Agentic AI - Recruiting Automation** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Personalization** - Recommendation - Content - Cart Abandonment - Search - Personalization Engine - Product Recommendations - A/B Testing - Personalized Messaging **Platform Content** - Automation - Content Library **Content** - Automation - File Sharing **Content** - Automation - File Sharing **Platform Performance - Talent Assessment** - Uptime - Analytics **Platform Additional Functionality ** - Dashboard - Mobility - Portal - Integrations **Multichannel** - Web - Email - Mobile **Platform Additional Functionality** - Sourcing and Candidate Identification - Job Posting - Applicant Tracking **Recruiting and Onboarding** - Sourcing and Candidate Identification - Applicant Tracking **Platform Additional Functionality - Talent Assessment** - Mobility - Integrations **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Dashboards **Administration ** - Marketing Campaigns - Reports & Analytics - User Data - Integrations **Platform Basics - Talent Assessment** - Analytics - Interoperability - Automation **Agentic AI - E-Commerce Personalization** - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **AI Capabilities - Talent Assessment** - AI Personalization - AI Predictive Insights - AI Scoring - Assessment Generation - AI Bias Detection ## Top Plum Alternatives - [The Predictive Index](https://www.g2.com/products/the-predictive-index/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (712 reviews) - [eSkill](https://www.g2.com/products/eskill-corporation-eskill/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (357 reviews) - [TestGorilla](https://www.g2.com/products/testgorilla/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,354 reviews)
