On today's episode of the RecruitingDaily Podcast, William Tincup speaks with Jason Putnam of Plum about resetting the assessment table, and what exactly that means in today's landscape. Assessments have been a point of contention for quite a while; they are sometimes too difficult and other times not exactly right for the role its filling. So what's the answer, then?
Plum uses psychometric assessments for talent acquisition and talent management, including succession planning and leadership development. The platform's assessments are bespoke to each company, job, and hiring manager.
Putnam believes that most tech companies in the space are solving the wrong problem and solving it the wrong way. He explains that companies raise a lot of money, build technology, and sell products that aren't even built yet, which can lead to a disconnect between the product and the customer.
