71 Gem Testimonials

"Gem allows you to build pipelines and craft campaigns in the meantime, and even start nurturing relationships before hiring ramps up. So the moment we hear we need to hire this role for this location, everything is set to go."

"Gem adds a lot of transparency and helps our team make informed decisions for sourcing, so we don't have to make assumptions of why one role closed faster than the other. We can actually look at the data and see that so and so has a great response rate. They're leveraging this tool. We can see where we're falling short in terms of underrepresented groups in our pipelines. And I think that's really helpful for removing assumptions and allowing us to make data-informed decisions. We don't have to guess. We can actually have data, set more metric-based goals, and measure success in a way that would be challenging without Gem."

“The biggest use case for Gem is its reporting metrics and funnel visibility. Gem's Talent Compass gives me confidence in my pipeline and a sense of where to put my resources.”

"Talent acquisition has even more credibility now because recruiters are no longer speaking anecdotally; they’re speaking with data. So they can influence upper management in ways they may not have been able to before.”

“I can send bird’s-eye views of [hiring managers’] entire pipelines in a single email. They have everything at a glance what stage each candidate is in for every role and if they want to dive deeper, they just click in and open up Greenhouse profiles from there.”

“During the height of layoffs in the tech sector, reviewing applications became overwhelming. Gem enabled us to narrow down to the right set of candidates by using Boolean search strings and ranked candidates by how many keyword matches existed. Many, many hours have been saved on application review since we began using Gem.”

"I have all my candidates in one place, and I know I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes when I engage."

"Collectively, we saw a 31% response rate in April. May was 35%, June and July were 33%, then August jumped to 41%. That’s a significant increase in prospect interest, thanks to Gem."

“Using Gem's Pipeline Analytics has allowed our teams to be much more data driven in our sourcing techniques. We are able to tell better stories about candidate pass through rates for all of our passive and active candidates using Gem's filters that integrate seamlessly with our ATS.”

"What used to take me hours or even days to complete can now be done in minutes with Gem's AI-powered App Review. I can be more efficient with my time while passing higher-quality candidates through our interview process who would have been buried under hundreds of applications in the past. It's a win-win for recruiters and candidates."

"Immediately we saw that Gem could replace a lot of the products we were using. It was easily one of the better products I’d seen in terms of streamlining manual work: searching for phone numbers, emails, social media sites. And the cherry on top was that it integrated seamlessly into Greenhouse."

"One of the hardest parts of recruiting your early team is knowing where to begin. Gem's open source resources for startup hiring are a big help for founders who want to build the right foundation and get off to a strong start. We recommend them day 1 to every new founder in the Accel portfolio."

“I like to drop in the name of the company the prospect is currently at, mention something they’re working on and how it aligns with what the team is currently up to. It really makes a difference in response rates. LinkedIn didn’t have those variables.”

“With Gem’s events module, we can track success: Who opened the event invite And ultimately, how many people did we convert into our pipeline from the event."

“We do a lot of R4R [recruiting for recruiters]. One of the benefits of this is that we’re in-the-know when it comes to new tools and industry trends. So we were interviewing for a recruiting role and the candidate said ‘Hey, have you heard of this tool called Gem? It’s changed my game; you’ve got to check it out.’ We looked into the free trial and were immediately like, well yeah; this is a no-brainer. We need to use it.”
