71 Gem Testimonials

“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."

"Gem provides a great barometer to know how many female engineers I’m reaching out to—and down the line, how many I need to reach out to if I want gender equity in my pipelines.”

“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.”

"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!"

“With Gem, you have a track record of success and excellence. This is a tool that is not just solving for one of your recruiting needs, Gem wants to solve for all of them. They’re only enhancing their product or continuing to develop. They’re building Talent Acquisition capabilities that are ahead of their time all while working in a sustainable way.”

"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."

“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.”

“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.”
