What it is: Probably one of the most well-known personality tests around, the Myers-Briggs type indicator looks at where you fall in four different dichotomies — sensing or intuition, introversion or extroversion, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving — to come up with 16 different personality types labeled by combos of initials.
Case in point: You may have heard someone describe themselves as an INTJ — an intuition/introversion/thinking/judging type.
Around 80% of new hires at Fortune 500 companies are given the MBTI, and countless other companies use it as part of the actual employee selection process, according to CPP, the test's exclusive publisher.
Caliper profile
What it is: This assessment, which has been around for some 50 years, measures personality traits — from assertiveness to thoroughness — that relate to key skills needed on the job, such as leadership ability and time management.
Take empathy, for example. The test screens for "a combination of traits that can help you see how well a person reads a room," Gorrell explains. "Are they flexible or rigid? That's extremely insightful when hiring someone who has to be responsive to customers or change in an organization."
Plum is an assessment tool
Notes below
- Assessment tool that is brought in at the front end of the process
- Works in 2 ways:
- Through the online platform
- Integrates through an API feed
- Scores people on a scale 1-100 on how well they match to the role
- Hiring manager takes part in process (5-10 minute survey) they create a match criteria survey: this pulls out criteria that is needed in the survey
- Then, applicants take a survey (usually 35 minutes) to see how their results compare against jobs; same assessment despite the job. The difference is in how the rankings are aligned.
- Superior Group (recruiting company in Buffalo) that has people take an assessment to understand what kind of roles a candidate is a best match for
- Successful integrations in the past:
- Greenhouse
- Hasn't integrated with iCIMS yet, as of 9.7.17
- Does free 7 day trials
I did record our call to share with our marketing team. For full transparency, here's a link to that audio file.
Plum Materials
Top three Plum materials (more at plum.io/resources):
- An Essentials Guide To Pre-Employment Assessments
- Plum Science
- Muting Bias | Diverse and Inclusive Hiring
A two-week free trial can be activated at any time. Or you can take the Plum Talent Assessment yourself. Just let me know.
Four major impacts with Plum: hiring efficiency, new hire performance, hiring manager satisfaction, and candidate experience. Our customers say they experience up to a 80% time reduction in resume screening time and a 60% reduction in time interviewing. 93% of hiring manager would hire their Plum match again, and hiring managers rave about the quality candidates they get using their own customized criteria.
A senior HR leader at Agoda said this after they switched to Plum from their former pre-employment assessment provider:
“The improved candidate experience makes for a much more scalable solution than our previous testing ever allowed.”
And...
“Plum works wonders for us without any need for someone in HR to closely manage a process.”
Next Steps
We were only able to briefly demo the product. From assessing Social Intelligence to our unique survey methodology that prevents gaming, there's a lot more to discuss that sets Plum apart. I look forward to scheduling a demo late October.
Let me know if you need anything in the meantime!
