“The fact that Gem logs both email and InMail outreach is amazing. When I go to put someone through an email sequence who never responded to InMail, I now have access to that earlier activity.”

“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.”

"I can see that our most recent hire went from our second email to our website to a blog post; he responded to us 6 minutes later. Thanks to Gem, I know how he became familiar with us, and what content ultimately prompted him to engage with us."

“Leveraging the dashboards feature of Gem has allowed us to create impactful insights for executive leadership summaries we otherwise wouldn't be able to share!”

“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.”

"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."

“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.”

"Automation and efficiency are at the core of every great candidate experience. [Gem Scheduling] supercharges your team's capabilities in the flip of a switch."

“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.”

"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."

“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.”

"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."
