What is Ultraviolet?

Working with awesome data-driven talent experts (like yourself) is the heartbeat of what we do here at Plum. That’s why we strive to consistently update our platform to keep up with business and talent expert needs. Our newest version of the Plum platform, Ultraviolet, is everything you love about Plum, packaged in a sleek design that offers seamless collaboration, Talent Rediscovery, and at-a-glance people insights.

Why Upgrade to Ultraviolet?

Ultraviolet is a complete rebuild of the Plum platform, informed by the feedback and functionality requests of our customers. It is an agile and dynamic platform, capable of changing and adding features in a way our previous platform did not have the capability to do. The user interface and user experience is highly improved; data and results are presented more visually, providing you at-a-glance insight and side-by-side comparisons of your applicants. And upgrading to Ultraviolet has no additional cost to your Plum subscription plan!

Talent Rediscovery

Talent Language

We’ve heard your feedback, and we’ve moved away from psychological language to instead use easy-to-understand talents, such as innovation, adaptability, and execution. We know that these talents are critical as the nature of work changes - so we’re making it easier for you to identify key talent that will align with your company’s needs.
collaboration

Collaboration

It’s easier than ever to invite job experts like hiring managers, recruiters, and top performers to contribute to your Match Criteria, leveraging the collective wisdom of the entire hiring team. You can now average Match Criteria to secure alignment around role requirements.
security and scale

Security & Scale

There is now more visibility provided for lower permission levels, making it easier than ever for top performers to contribute to the Match Criteria. We’ve also completely rebuilt our system so that it’s easier to add new languages.
candidate experience

Candidate Experience

Job seekers asked, and we listened. We expanded the Plum Profile to include strengths and development opportunities. We also included more coaching for applicants as they complete the Plum Discovery Survey.

What is Being Migrated?

Company-wide applicant data. This includes all applicant Discovery Survey results and job applications.

Existing Plum user accounts for all applicants. All candidates with Plum accounts will be required to reset their password when logging in to Ultraviolet for the first time after the migration, as we will not be migrating passwords over from the previous platform.

Client account administrator access and permissions. All current account administrators will be granted access to the recruitment function on Ultraviolet. They will also be required to reset their password when logging in to Ultraviolet for the first time after the migration.

 

What is Not Being Migrated?

Jobs data.

Match Criteria. This is due to the fact that we are transitioning from psychological traits-based language to more universal, user-friendly talents-based language.

Candidate dispositioning.

Match Scores.

Traits-based interview guides (if applicable for subscription plan). These are being retired to make way for our new talent-based interview guides, which align with Ultraviolet language.

 

So What's Next?

Once you have confirmed with your Customer Success Manager that you are prepared to transition to Ultraviolet, you will be invited to a 1-hour Ultraviolet webinar. After that, we will schedule your data migration.
