Automated Job Analysis for the Modern Workforce

Plum Role Model™ is the first automated job analysis tool designed for today’s hiring challenges. In seconds, it turns any job description into a behavioral blueprint for success. When you define the role right, every hiring decision becomes faster, fairer, and more accurate.

Every job deserves a Role Model.

Plum Role Model™ revolutionizes the job analysis by decoding descriptions into behavioral benchmarks. It reveals the durable skills your roles truly require, such as adaptability, communication, and execution. By starting with the right role definition, you set the foundation for better hiring and stronger performance across your organization.

What’s broken with a traditional job analysis

When the role is poorly defined, even the best candidate can fail. Role Model fixes that by getting the job right first.

Subjective inputs

Most job analysis processes rely on feedback from subject matter experts. These inputs are often inconsistent or biased, which means critical competencies can be missed and bias risks can increase.

Outdated process

Traditional job analysis takes more than 140 hours per role, requiring lengthy reviews and approvals. This outdated approach cannot keep pace with evolving business needs or modern hiring timelines.

Mismatch risk

Many hiring tools focus on analyzing people but ignore the role itself. Without an objective job analysis, organizations risk placing even strong candidates in poorly defined roles, leading to misalignment and costly turnover.
