Case Study: Homes by WestBay reduces turnover and speeds hiring with Plum.io

Aligning Talent to Business Needs at Homes by WestBay

Homes by WestBay, a Florida home builder, struggled with a 28% annual turnover rate in its construction manager roles because hiring managers were unsure whether candidates had the right behavioral traits to work effectively with customers and subcontractors. The company needed a way to better align talent to role requirements using a more reliable assessment than resumes alone.

By partnering with Plum.io and using Plum’s predictive hiring and development tools, Homes by WestBay was able to identify candidates with the detail-oriented and socially intelligent traits needed for the job, while also evaluating employee strengths and weaknesses. The result was a 38% reduction in overall turnover, a 43% drop in new-hire turnover in construction, and a 37% decrease in time spent reviewing resumes, helping them even eliminate the need for an external recruiter.
