IS THIS YOU?
Growing a business feels like juggling knives while riding a unicycle.
You’ve got customers to win, fires to put out, and a million decisions to make. Then there’s the team—hiring them, leading them, and praying they don’t derail the whole thing.
Let’s be honest: Managing people is messy.
When you don’t have the right people in the room, it’s even harder—missed opportunities, recurring issues, a niggling feeling it can be better. And avoiding the hard conversations? That’s like ignoring a leaky roof and hoping it doesn’t rain.
We get it. We’ve lived it.
We know the stress and the doubts. We’ve felt that gut-punch moment of realizing someone you’ve invested time and energy in isn’t aligned with where you’re going.
It sucks, but this isn’t about us.
It’s about you.
You’re here because you know your business, your team, or both could be better:
This doesn’t mean it’s a disaster, BUT you know it can be better.
- More money.
- More calm.
- More efficient.
- More freedom to focus on the things (and people) that really matter.
AND the best part…
Profit and people don’t have to compete.
When you get it right, they amplify each other.
Too often we see people just accept their state. Our mission is to help people become a better version of themselves AND do work with people they care about.
This leads to more profits and more happiness.
What WE DO
We thought about writing a guide for you on our learnings from analysing 29,546 personality profiles, and analysing 107,594 behavioural assessments to build better teams BUT realised that would be a waste of everyone’s time.
So we built a system that gives people access to the outcomes..
We do the hard work and help get you from good to great.
We are a People Performance Agency. Managed and ‘done-for-you’ services for small to large companies to accelerate the growth of your company through your people.

The Strength Is in the System.
Most businesses try to grow their teams through trial and error—by “winging it,” stumbling along, and figuring it out as they go. We call this gambling. It’s stressful, unreliable, and more often than not, leads to poor outcomes.
At Ploomo, we don’t gamble. We’ve spent over a decade refining a system that works. This isn’t our first rodeo, and our mission is simple: to help you skip the learning curve.
Whether you’re a first-time leader or an experienced operator, our system takes you from overwhelmed and stuck to a purpose-driven, fire-breathing boss who inspires those around them—and has a team that accelerates growth, not slows it down.
Here’s what we know:
The difference between gambling and a winning system is everything. Many of us at Ploomo came from the hedge fund world, where the stakes were high, and outcomes depended on precision. Imagine the gap between someone randomly trading AUD/USD because of an “earthquake” in Melbourne and a professional using sub-millisecond latency and real-time data to make calculated decisions.
The lesson is simple: don’t gamble. Use a system that works.
FAQs
Here's a few questions we usually hear before we start working with our clients.
We live it.
At Ploomo, we don’t just sell a system—we use it ourselves. Our approach isn’t some theory cooked up in a boardroom. It’s the by-product of lessons learned in the trenches.
We’ve built companies in hospitality, cleaning, and even wagering—every one of them runs on the Ploomo system. Why? Because we know it works.
Imagine a hedge fund manager pitching you their investing strategy… but they’ve never used it with their own money. Alarm bells, right? Exactly. That’s why we walk the talk.
And here’s the kicker: Unlike leadership development coaches, we don’t just give you workshops and wish you good luck. We bring technology and data tools that let you see the shift happening—tracking team engagement and performance as it evolves.
We don’t stop at delivering candidates like recruiters do. We help you design roles, define attitudes, align your team, coach you on terminating in probation, and monitor the results to ensure long-term success.
Put simply: We don’t gamble. We build systems that win.
Is McDonalds the same as Nobu? They both serve food…
Recruiters are focused on one thing: filling seats and praying the candidate makes it through probation. They run a process, place a candidate, and move on to the next client. Their job is about speed and volume, not necessarily finding the right person for your business.
At Ploomo, we approach things differently. Think of us as architects, not contractors. We don’t just run a generic process; we design a hiring system specifically tailored to your business.
Here’s how we’re different:
- We align roles with your long-term goals.
- We identify the attitudes and behaviours that lead to success in your team.
- We use advanced tools, psychology, and coaching to create a predictable and effective hiring process.
- This might sound crazy.. we even coach you on how to fire during probation.
Our focus isn’t just on filling a position—it’s on helping you build a high-performing, engaged team that fuels your business growth.
Every part of our system is designed to deliver these outcomes.
If you’re ready to move beyond the “just fill the seat” mentality, we’re here to help

Our mission is simple: to get you from where you are now to where you want to be—faster and with less stress. Let’s chat about how we can help.
Here’s the problem with most psychometric testing: Businesses often use them as a standalone solution, expecting the test itself to transform their hiring process. But a psychometric test is just a tool—it’s not the solution.
Years ago, we sold psychometric tests as a standalone product, and here’s what we learned: The tests alone rarely deliver meaningful results. Why? Because interpreting the results and applying them effectively as part of a broader system is where the real value lies.
So yes, we do use psychometric testing—but only as one part of our comprehensive Attitude-Finding Hiring System.
Here’s how we approach psychometric testing as part of a bigger picture:
- We analyse and interpret the results, so you don’t have to.
- We connect the data to your specific hiring goals and team needs.
- We apply the insights to create actionable strategies that improve hiring outcomes.
You can think of a psychometric test alone as just like getting an X-ray for an injury and expecting it to fix the problem.
Sure, the X-ray can show you what’s wrong—but unless you’ve got the expertise to interpret it and treat the issue, it won’t help. You’ll just end up frustrated, blaming the X-ray machine, and swearing off the tool entirely.
Psychometric testing isn’t the magic bullet—it’s one piece of the system. By combining it with hiring strategy, behavioral assessments, psychology-driven interview approaches, coaching, and proven frameworks.
We have built a system the finds you the people you need so you don’t have to waste your time becoming an expert in profiling people.
