Plum prioritizes data privacy and security. Candidate data is stored in secure, compliant systems (AWS ISO 27001, SOC-2, PCI DSS). Identifiers are separated from assessment content to protect anonymity, and data access is role-based.

No. The Plum assessment is designed to be fair and resistant to manipulation. Since Match Criteria are unique to each role, it’s difficult for candidates to know what specific Talents an employer is looking for. Additionally, the assessment includes a mix of forced-choice questions, dynamic puzzles, and work scenarios, making it extremely challenging to target a specific outcome. To maintain the integrity of results, candidates can only retake the assessment once every 12 months.
