Resumes show what someone has done. Interviews show how well they present.
Neither tells you how someone will perform once the work begins.
Performance depends on behavioral traits like decision-making, adaptability, and innovation. These traits are stable, measurable, and role-specific. If you do not measure them, you are guessing.
That guess is expensive.
When job fit is measured early, fewer failures emerge later.
People ramp faster and meet expectations sooner.
Managers spend less time compensating, coaching, and covering.
Interviews test real job requirements, not confidence or polish.
Plum measures the behavioral traits and cognitive demands that drive performance in each role. We call these durable skills.
We assess how people:
Each role has a different profile. What predicts success in one job can predict failure in another.
Plum maps these requirements before hiring begins, so interviews focus on fit, not first impressions.
Explore the science
Hiring on fit works because it shows how a person will actually perform.
That information does not disappear on day one. The same traits that predict success before hiring help managers onboard faster and avoid early mistakes.
Plum’s models are trained and validated on real hiring outcomes across thousands of roles, including revenue, technical, operational, and frontline jobs. In repeated analyses, Plum predicts performance 4x better than a resume.
Our models are continuously refined using real-world results, not simulated benchmarks or generic personality scores.

Use our role-specific pre-employment assessment to reduce early hiring failures, improve performance, and make better decisions before interviews begin.
Use the same role-specific insights to accelerate onboarding, support manager effectiveness, and guide internal growth after hiring.
