What it does

Phenom acquires Plum to bring psychometric-based behavioral assessments to enterprise hiring, validating the durable skills AI can't replace and resumes can't verify.

As AI makes general intelligence a commodity, human skills have never mattered more. Yet most hiring processes still rely on resumes and gut instinct to assess them. It’s a flawed approach that costs companies up to 30% of an employee's first-year salary when it's wrong. Plum is a pioneer in psychometric-based talent assessments, and together we're scaling role-specific behavioral assessments to validate the durable skills AI can't replace and resumes can't verify. Combined with our agentic delivery and Hypercell context, enterprises can now assess the human qualities (empathy, judgment, resilience, and more) that determine success for any role, in any market at scale.
