CEO Construction ### "Nice insights, not so nice service" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 January 16, 2020 The tool provides interesting insights into the type of person you are hiring, which is important for understanding the most effective ways to manage and communicate with them. Unfortunately, we were having trouble determining whether the investment was really worth it and they were very rude and unhelpful. Pros As personality profiles go, plum is really nice. Interesting text descriptions of the person and the match rating system is easy to understand. Cons Be careful! If you change an applicant to hired plum counts them against your hiring limit regardless of the reason. While they let you change the status from hired back to something else, they will count that applicant as hired and they refuse to accept any reason for changing it back. So don't make a mistake! They will be very rude if you do! The location of functions in the menu system is not very intuitive. Functionality is there but you have to hunt a bit and once you understand it you can find ways to make management easier. Reasons for choosing Plum Liked the shared matching criteria.

RACHEL E. Logistics Lead Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Plum Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 October 24, 2018 Pros The software is easy to use, effective and very helpful in the hiring process! Cons I honestly don't have much negative to say about this. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Maciej B. Senior Analyst / Project Manager / Engagement Manager Management Consulting ### "Excellent screening tool for candidates" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 23, 2018 Pros 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. Cons 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? 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.

Deputy Director of Global Corporate Operations Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Great service for easy-to-understand skills/personality matches" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 October 21, 2018 Pros Easy to use - so simple to set up a new job/role profile in Plum and have multiple members of your team fill out key criteria for the role. Plum then takes all of the priorities and combines them to help you understand what you're looking for overall. We tend to do it in teams (of hiring managers for a role) because it can also help highlight discrepancies between what managers are looking for or expecting. Cons Navigation -- not as intuitive as I would have liked.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. ES Ellen S.

Pros Match criteria, ease of assessment tool, details results Cons There is nothing to report at this time.

AU Anonymous User VP Culture & Development Management Consulting ### "Get this!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 16, 2018 Pros \-helps you see in depth what potential candidates bring to the table -easy to use - contacting customer service is quick and easy as well Cons would like more functionality on the development side of people - for example if they have a growth area in managing others, what TED talks or books + chapters + reflection activities would they find useful?

AU Anonymous User VP Start-Up Programs ### "Super helpful in identifying top candidates and prepping for interviews!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 18, 2018 Easier and higher quality hiring. Pros Plum really helps surface the top candidates - including ones you might not otherwise consider. It makes it really easy to review great candidates without going through hundreds of resumes. It also makes interview prep easy by identifying areas where you might want to dig deeper with the candidate. It even helps with onboarding by identifying coaching opportunities for the candidates! Cons The manager profile can take a little time to complete, but it's worth the work to get it done well!

Our organization did extensive research." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 17, 2018 Ability to pinpoint the exact types of personality for our team' desires. Timeline to shorten our screening process with 1000s of resumes. Pros The ability to save exponential amounts of time on screening candidates for our roles. The ability to understand humans more and more after reviewing their profiles. Cons The length of time can be challenging for some people but as long as it's presented properly, it shouldn't be an issue. A lot of the competition have 2-3 hour tests while this is 30-40 minutes.

Employee Happiness Manager Accounting ### "Love being able to review future hires personalities and compare to our current rockstar employees." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 16, 2018 Hiring not only the most qualified candidates, but also being able to choose those most similar to our current rockstar team. Pros Love the current format. I know there is a new platform in the works, and think based on the videos that this will be amazing!! Love the idea of being able to compare multiple future hires next to each other. Think this will work well with trying to figure out who to hire when you have multiple candidates to choose from. Cons The "New" status goes away once you have entered that positions layout. Would love it to remain until the actual candidate has been reviewed. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor July 18, 2018 Hi Meagan! We appreciate the glowing review and your excitement for the newest version of the Plum platform, Ultraviolet! In Ultraviolet, candidates are labelled "new" for 72 hours, regardless if you have entered the applicant's profile. We hope that this helps you better track new applicants in your Plum Dashboard. You can actually apply to be an Ultraviolet beta tester here: https://use.plum.io/beta-tester. We love hearing from talent experts such as yourself, so thank you again for the feedback!
