One talent pool. Two ways of seeing it.
Hiring is the biggest bet a business makes, and most of it still rides on the weakest signal there is: a CV that shows what someone has done, not how they’ll do.

Add a second dimension, how someone actually works and fits, and the right people stand out. That’s why 93% of the people we place are still performing at 12 months.
What makes it different
Hiring well takes more than one piece. An agency saves you sourcing time. Software organises your process. An internal recruiter brings it in-house at a fixed cost. All useful, and all partial. Ploomo brings the whole capability, built around your business.
A portal that shows you everything: every role, every candidate, every decision.
Structured assessment and deep expertise in the psychology of hiring, applied to every role.
Sourcing, screening, scheduling and administration, all carried for you.
Priced to flex and scale with how much you actually hire, as a partner, not a vendor.
The same partnership extends into leadership and engagement once your people are in the door.
We don’t pick up roles ad-hoc. We build with you over years, and every role sharpens the next.
One partner, carrying the whole job. And because it’s one partnership, nothing resets between roles.
Why it keeps paying off
Most hiring runs on instinct. A read of a CV, a feel in an interview, a decision nobody can quite explain afterwards. Even when it works, you can’t say why. And what you can’t explain, you can’t learn from, so the tenth role starts as blind as the first.
We know why someone was hired, and why someone wasn’t. That’s what makes hiring something you can learn from, and learning is what compounds.
How well hiring works, role after role
Beyond hiring
The best companies don’t stop at hiring well. Once you can hire consistently, the work becomes helping your people grow, and keeping them. Ploomo brings all three in one partnership.
Hire well, grow them, keep them. One partner, across all three.
The system behind it
Understanding people takes more than reading a CV. Data is what makes it possible, and it deepens with every role and every team we work with.
Where Ploomo comes from
Josh del Rio spent eleven years inside a systematic trading hedge fund, rising to Deputy CEO. Everything there ran on data, except hiring, which ran on instinct. So he spent five years building the system to fix it. It worked, so he left to build it into Ploomo, and bring that rigour to growing businesses.
