"It's so easy to use, just like everything else from Gem! AI Sourcing is helping streamline how we manage candidates and we're excited to continue partnering with Gem to automate our outbound strategy."

“As soon as you guys came up with App Review, I was like, we need to get this activated. Using the Boolean strings is so helpful and helps us in finding the most qualified candidates, especially in this day and age when we're getting so many applicants, it helps us really pinpoint the best people.”

“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.”

“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.”

“With dashboards, I can easily visualize all my recruiting data in a way I've never been able to do before. It consolidates data from various sources, including our ATS, into a user-friendly interface that helps you make informed, data -driven decisions. Additionally, dashboards allow hiring managers to access this information, ensuring everyone stays aligned and informed.”

“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’s Talent Marketing has significantly improved our recruitment event process, enabling us to create an exceptional candidate experience and attract top-tier talent. This tool has optimized our event efforts and elevated our talent acquisition strategy.”

"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."

"One thing I like about the AI Sourcing tool is I feel like I'm finding new candidates I haven't seen before. I like being able to describe exactly what I'm looking for, like experience in a marketplace. It's been really helpful in terms of finding new people to reach out to. There are some functionalities in the Gem AI tool that I really like in the sense that it's just easier to create a profile that I'm looking for."

"The search setup is not only easier, but also more time-efficient since new results are brought up automatically. This means that even if you only have ten minutes, you can reach out to a good number of candidates. Since our team already uses Gem for outreach, having this tool fully integrated into the main product was a smooth transition. It feels like a natural addition, unlike other tools I’ve tried that felt like extra steps in the process."

"What sets Gem apart from other ATS vendors is its knack for simplicity. Its remarkably easy to use, ensuring our portfolio companies can hit the ground running with minimal learning curve."

“When Gem demoed their scheduling feature, I was very excited about the user-friendly candidate experience. They can now simply put their availability on a calendar and we can schedule them with our teams. There’s no more back and forth with the candidate and a nice, seamless internal process. Once the event is created both internal teams and the candidate receive automatic invitations.”

“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.”
