The
people
Everyone that
works with plum is a partner. This doesn’t
just mean that everyone is a stakeholder in the success of the
business but also that each member comes to plum
with a legacy of experience and success as key contributors at
previous employers such as Intel, Nike, AT&T and many others.
With a combined 35 years of recruiting experience we’ve
hired for virtually every role within an organization. Though
we can fill any job, our specialty is demand and product creation.
From brand and product management to design (brand, graphic, product)
and sales – we have an extensive network in outdoor, sport
and lifestyle. A short list of companies we’ve recruited
for include: adidas, Lucy, C9, Sara Lee Branded Apparel, Horny
Toad, nau, New Balance, Brooks Sports, KEEN Footwear, Yakima,
Hanna Anderson, Nike, Moving Comfort, Umbro, Transitions for Health,
Timberland, Reebok, and Oakley.

Retained
search
When you hire
plum, you can rest assured that your hiring process
will flow effortlessly and with your complete satisfaction. In
our retained model, you pay 1/3 down at the start – then,
the next third after a comprehensive meeting to discuss status
at 45 days. If you aren’t completely satisfied at that point,
you don’t pay until you are. No more paying for a recruiter
when the work is not done – no more paying for something
you don’t get. Sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it?
Contingent
search
Yes, we work
on a contingent basis too! We know that sometimes companies are
a little wary of going the “retained route.” So, we’re
flexible. We do, however, have a few caveats to taking a contingent
search on. Drop us a note – and we’ll send you the
plum “We’ll Take Your Contingent Search and ROCK it
– If You Commit to These Few Things” List. Then, if
you’re in, we’re in. All in. And excited to represent
your brand.
Research
We conduct
targeted research based on your specifications. We’ll deliver
a list of candidates that we think will fit your requirements
– with their contact information. But, once again, plum
delivers a higher quality than most search firms. We don’t
just give out contact information for these people without their
knowledge. That would be uncool. Instead, we verify interest on
the part of the candidate – and open the door to a warm
phone call from you. No more awkward cold calling for you! Leave
that to us.
Our
search guarantee
plum
will replace your new hire if they quit or are terminated within
the first 6 months. Yes, you read it right, 6 months, 180 days,
a half year! Today’s industry standard for recruiting is
90 days. Heck, sometimes you can’t even get a new hire’s
phone set up in 90 days. We’re in this for the long haul
– just like you are.
