71 Gem Testimonials

“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.”

"DEI efforts are top-of-mind for every team in theory; but unless you have the data, there’s little you can do to uncover omissions or missteps, or move the needle on your efforts.”

“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.”

"I’m constantly using Gem to look for practices we can magnify and launch as best practices across the org."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"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 saw what the benefits would be if the team learned to take advantage of Gem. Now, at any point, an eng manager with an open req can go into Gem, source their own candidates, and send their own pre-built sequences.”

“When a req comes in from a client, I source directly from Gem—talent I’ve already looked at, vetted, and in some cases screened—and queue up my outreach from right within the platform. It’s like having my own more robust, more specialized, more streamlined LinkedIn.”

“When a prospective candidate responds and says they’re not looking right now, I ask if there’s a good timeframe in which to circle back with them. When I hear back I set a reminder for myself to follow up with them at that point. All of that happens right in the Gem extension: you can set a date and then add them directly to a nurture campaign.”

“I love how tightly Gem is integrated with Greenhouse. It isn’t clunky and it’s almost as if you’re operating within Greenhouse, which is amazing.”

"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."
