The Challenge

The Challenge

Team faced with a high volume of applicants, especially to entry-level positions
Resume-based hiring process wasn’t scalable
Fast growth of company exhausted hiring resources
Timbercreek Communities, a leading operator of multi-residential communities, was experiencing a high volume of applicants to their open job positions, particularly administrative roles. Timbercreek needed a tool to shortlist these candidates; their previous resume-based shortlisting process was not scalable to accommodate the influx of applicants and the fast growth nature of the company, which was exhausting resources - including the time and energy of recruiters, hiring managers, and HR partners.
Our Action

The Action

Partnered with Plum to scale shortlisting process while increasing accuracy
Plum shortlisted candidates based on talent and potential
Recruiters, hiring managers, and HR partners all contributed to the shortlisting process

Although they needed an efficient and fast shortlisting process, Timbercreek didn’t just want a system that automated a resume-screening process. Timbercreek enlisted the help of Plum’s top-of-funnel hiring solution because they saw the value in narrowing down an applicant pool based on future potential and predictive insight of on-the-job success, rather than education and experience. Recruiters, hiring managers, and HR partners all contributed to the shortlisting process with the help of Plum’s easy-to-use, accessible, and collaborative functions.

Outcome

The Outcome

Plum streamlined Timbercreek’s shortlisting process
Internal stakeholders had a shared point of reference further down the hiring funnel
If given the chance, Timbercreek would hire Plum-recommended candidates again
Not only did Plum’s top-of-funnel hiring solution streamline Timbercreek’s shortlisting process, but Plum provided Timbercreek with detailed insights on candidate personality, problem solving, and social intelligence. These attributes provided a material reference point for internal stakeholders like HR professionals and hiring managers. This reference point allowed all internal stakeholders to evaluate candidates individually while also clearly and effectively communicating with one another. Not only did the scalabile and collaborative-friendly nature of the Plum make Timbercreek's hiring process more efficient, but the quality of hire significantly increased - adding Timbecreek to the 93% of Plum customers who report that, if given the chance, they would hire their Plum-recommended candidates all over again.
