Requirements: The following integration makes use of the custom application fields feature. Only organizations with an Expert subscription tier can utilize this integration.
Plum provides organizations with the data they need to make predictive talent decisions using the power of AI and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. By measuring talents such as adaptability, innovation, and communication, Plum hosts the single largest database for quantifying human potential at every stage of the employee journey — predicting successful hires, and informing professional development, strategic workforce planning, and emerging leader capability.
Greenhouse Recruiting’s integration with Plum allows you to build consensus around specific talents that are required for each of your jobs. Applicants will be automatically invited to share their individual Match Scores for each job so that from within Greenhouse Recruiting you can easily determine who possess the talents required to succeed in your specific job. This is accomplished by:
- Mirroring jobs to have the set of Plum-specific stages in both Greenhouse Recruiting and Plum
- Aligning your hiring team within Plum on the talents or Match Criteria that are required for each job
- Inviting applicants to complete and share the results (Match Score) of their Talent Discovery Survey to application fields within Greenhouse

Within the template, you will need to add three specific stages in the following order:
- Plum Invite
- Plum In-Progress
- Plum Complete
Note: The stage names must be exact matches for what is listed above.
We recommend making the Plum stages the first stages in your Interview Plan after Application Review.
