Case Study: One Acre Fund reduces resume review time by 93% with Plum

PredictivelyShor tlisting Candidatesand Increasing Consistency with Plum and Greenhouse

One Acre Fund, a global nonprofit with 8,000 employees, needed a better way to manage roughly 50,000 job applications a year and about 500 applicants per role. Their recruiting team was spending too much time reading resumes, struggling to assess candidates consistently across diverse backgrounds, and needed an assessment tool that integrated smoothly with their Greenhouse ATS. Plum.IO provided the top-of-funnel talent assessment they were looking for.

By integrating Plum.IO with Greenhouse, One Acre Fund could automatically view Plum talent scores in candidate profiles and shortlist applicants more predictively based on skills and potential, not just resumes. The result was a 93% reduction in time spent reading resumes, plus a major reduction in recruiter and senior manager effort on early-stage hiring tasks, from about an hour and a half per day to just 15–30 minutes a day, three days a week.
