Product Description

Plum provides organizations with the data they need to make predictive talent decisions with the power of AI and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. By measuring talents such as adaptability, innovation, and communication, Plum enables enterprise organizations to generate and analyze predictive talent data. Plum quantifies human potential at every stage of the employee journey — predicting successful hires, and informing professional development, strategic workforce planning, and emerging leader capability.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

The Plum difference can be summarized as:

Accuracy:

Plum’s Discovery Survey is designed to remove bias and reveal innate talents. The 10 Plum Talents are 4X more accurate at predicting how successful a person will be than hard skills, knowledge, and previous roles alone.
Potential:

Plum Profiles quantify human potential giving leaders a metric that stays relevant in the face of changing business climates. Instead of looking backwards at resumes and past experience, we help talent leaders future proof their talent acquisition and talent management decision criteria.

Collaboration:

Plum Match Criteria enables leaders to prioritize the talents that drive success in a role. Plum talent mapping allows organizations to align the potential of the workforce to available opportunities while simultaneously showing individuals where their unique talents will thrive.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
