Plum: Making diversity happen – by design
Summary
It means removing people and their inherent biases from the early stage of the hiring process, doing away with résumés, and handing the job over to dispassionate machines. Plum’s products use intelligent questions that help companies more accurately identify the people they need, matching them with prospective hires on a dispassionate, bias-free basis. Plum’s product, delivered on a SaaS platform, generates a pool of potential hires based on pure ability rather than connections, or the whims of the person doing the interviews, or merely a résumé. The company now has 18 full-time employees, is based in Waterloo in offices at Weber Street and Northfield Drive, and is growing, aiming to do a Series A round in the near future. By default, when you stop using that résumé to screen, you get a lot more diversity.” “So what we suggest, is: What is that keycard that you remove when you leave the hotel room equivalent for the HR space.”
