Most popular features of all HR & Employee Management apps
7 reviewers had the following to say about Plum's features:
It is a huge time saver for that feature alone.
Pros
- Behavioral Analysis is great to filter candidates - Building an ideal candidate profile - Easy to sort through and determine which candidates are a good fit - Simple to use for the potential candidate
Cons
- Account management is simple, but seems lacking on a few features - It would be nice to have another section or custom sections for different stages of the interview process rather than just "shortlisted" and "hired"...

Hi Devon - thanks for this feedback, and for making Plum part of your hiring success!
We've listened and added 3 new stages to our next release - Applied, Shortlisted, Interview, In Progress, Disregard, and Hired are all around the corner. For many of our customers who use an ATS we conform to - and integrate with the stages used here, to ensure a streamlined process across platforms and team members.
To see the best value with Plum we encourage you to have any and all applicants take the assessment - whether or not you have an open requisite or job criteria. This will highlight rockstars in your talent pool, and give you a sourcing headstart when a new job is posted.
Pros
It is simple to use and it helps guide you towards what your criteria (soft skills) are for each role you are recruiting for.
Cons
Printing role profile information is cumbersome

Another tool to assess culture fit within our organization.
Pros
It's like an applicant tracking system and way easier to sort through all the applicants than email.
Cons
Having the resumes in a format where you could more easily drag them into a folder or calendar invite for interviews.

Rapid, cost-effective, successful hires
Pros
- Rapid reduction of applicant volume based on intelligent data points curated with contextual awareness to our organization's culture and roles - Speed to hire has decreased dramatically, alongside the investment of resources required per hire
Cons
- Certain advanced features are on the product road map but currently require manual assistance from Plum's (stellar) customer support team

This software helps me screen candidates and saves a huge amount of time when trying to decide the right fit culturally and professionally.
Pros
The next level of info it gives me on potential hires & the accuracy of the results. Plum results are integral to our hiring process. The customer support and training is awesome and I love that it's a Canadian company.
Cons
This is not a con, but a "want": Looking forward to results that suggest what a good occupation would be for the candidate
