Case Study: Scotiabank transforms campus recruiting and boosts diversity with Plum

Scotiabank Transforms Campus Recruiting Replacing Resumes with Behavioral Assessments

Scotiabank, a leading Canadian multinational bank, wanted to make campus recruiting fairer, more objective, and more inclusive. To support its humanistic employer brand and better identify early talent based on potential rather than resumes, Scotiabank partnered with **PLUM.IO** to replace resume screening with a more data-driven approach.

**PLUM.IO** implemented behavioral talent assessments that measured candidates’ personality, social intelligence, and problem-solving ability, giving recruiters match scores for different roles and candidates personalized talent profiles. The new resumeless process improved candidate experience, expanded hiring to more than 30 schools, increased visible-minority representation to nearly 60% of campus intake, raised women’s representation to just over 50%, and nearly doubled campus-hire retention from 26% to 46%.
