71 Gem Testimonials

"The collaboration aspect has been huge. The reason we looked for a tool is because we didn’t have any collaboration workflows. People looking to adopt Gem ATS are teams that are looking to grow and will need better collaboration and need to get out of spreadsheets."

"Talent acquisition is very lean at Mapbox. Two of us are technical recruiters, and we have one sourcer. With the growth we anticipate, we have to figure out ways to organize, automate processes, and strategically engage passive talent. That’s where Gem comes in for us."

"We've tried everything and Gem is the first product to delight our hiring managers and drive adoption across the company. Now, everyone's involved in the hiring process. All of our recruiting efforts are tracked through one central place and our entire company is an extension of the recruiting team!"

“When it comes to goal to target or hire to target — those numbers carry meaning for our leaders, We can forecast headcount and report whether we’ll be close to a goal, reach it, or exceed it. And if we see we’re on track with one market but behind in another, we know to pivot our hiring efforts to the one market that’s under goal.”

“Our equipment goes inside your laptops, your smartphones but we’re not a household name. We weren’t getting the number of applicants we needed in this hot market because of that brand awareness challenge. And our recruiters were trying to source, but they’d get so caught up in other daily urgencies that they’d send off a single email, and that was it.”

"Being able to utilize AI to narrow down and rank hundreds or even thousands of applications with a click of a button will be a game changer! This will allow us to find the perfect candidate more efficiently than prior to partnering with Gem AI."

"Gem offers me a tremendous amount of leverage as a founder/CEO. I'm able to apply a high-touch, ultra-personalized approach at scale which is simply game-changing. The response rates for emails sent through Gem are much higher than if the emails were coming from a recruiter."

“The difference between a great sourcer and a sub-par sourcer is in how much discipline someone has in following-up, in not wasting productivity cycles. Response rates on that initial outreach might be 15%, but they might be 50% on the follow-up. So the one thing I was looking for in a tool was automated follow-ups. We ran a free trial of Gem and the team loved it. Our sourcers were thrilled about things like send-on-behalf-of and Rules of Engagement. And I just saw productivity increase. So at that point, it was a no-brainer.”

“Send-on-behalf-of is a way of leveraging hiring managers’ names and, in some cases, their reputations, to see if we can get more responses; and they don’t have to do any of the work. Then I get to go into Outreach Stats and see: is this a strategy worth replicating? What ultimately piques talent’s interests."

“When I came to Pure [Storage] and was shown Gem, I immediately thought, Oh, this is a godsend. I no longer had to send follow-ups manually or keep track of whom to follow up with on my own trackers.”

"Gem has been a remarkable partner for us at a financially approachable cost that’s positively impacting our residents’ lives through high-quality health care providers to serve them. And we wouldn’t be having the success we’re having from a financial standpoint, from a talent acquisition standpoint, if it weren’t for this partnership."

"Hiring is the #1 priority for every startup once they've raised money, and to do it well you need the right platform. YC companies have consistently raved about Gem, and we recommend it for all companies, whether they're hiring their first employees or at scale."

“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.”

“Gem’s App Review has literally made the inbound process 100x better. It's so easy to filter out unqualified applications, and the resume keyword highlighting is a much-needed relief for my eyes.”

“Our very early wins with Gem were around content usage. It can take 18 touch points to land a candidate. Seeing how our content was converting in Gem allowed us to be more strategic which helped refine our employer brand strategy.”
