Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GEM to track our sourcing efforts and where each person is that we have in the process is. Also, it's very helpful to understand how many recruiter screens or F2F's it historically takes to get an offer.

Pros

Reporting
Management of Sourcing Projects
Integration with Greenhouse so we know if said candidate has interviewed before

Cons

Notes - since it's on a second 'page' it's hard to even see if a candidate as notes

Likelihood to Recommend

I love that it sends out sequences of emails as that is super helpful! I like that I can follow my stats and compare how I'm doing against the KPI's and where I fall in the team. It's important to understand these dynamics!

Early teams with a lot of hiring will benefit the most from Gem. Companies with high volume hiring needs will see benefits from the outreach automation and send on behalf of (SOBO) features. Recruiting teams and leaders will benefit most from the pipeline analytics and dashboarding features to ensure the hiring team understands best practices through data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Gem as a sourcing tool to reach candidates by email vs inmail. The market is extremely competitive right now and Gem is a great way to get noticed by candidates. It allows you to create "sequences" or a series of automated emails so that you don't have to follow up manually. Additionally, you can send on behalf of (send from someone else) say for example a hiring manager, etc which also helps messages get noticed. Additional pluses of Gem - GREAT analytics, way better than our ATS's and a really cool talent pipeline feature - basically a Trello board of your pipeline! It's a great way to see the status of every role in a very digestible format!

Pros

Sending sequences (automated emails to candidates).
Analytics, including great visuals of the pipeline.
Great metrics features so you can measure your impact (much better than LinkedIn).

Cons

Honestly - nothing! Gem just keeps getting better and better in ways I wouldn't have thought of!

Likelihood to Recommend

Gem is a in my opinion a necessity for any TA team in this market. It's no longer possible to be competitive with just LinkedIn - it's easy for candidates to lose those messages. Gem allows you to get noticed by candidates and stay competitive in this market!

Gem is your one stop shop top of funnel resource

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our entire tech and biz recruiting teams use it for top-of-funnel organization, ToF data analysis, candidate campaign sequencing, and DEIB tagging and tracking. It helps so that we can all have a unified set of job/role projects that we source prospects into. Then we can track how many are in there along with who is responding at what frequency, positive response rates, and better predict time to fill. With their automated sequences, I set up a multiple touchpoint email or inmail campaign one time, add prospects to it and Gem sends them all out for me. Cutting the manual time-sucking process of the past.

Pros

DEIB tracking and analysis.
Whole team and individual outreach data.
Innovating out reach possibilities.
Email capture.

Cons

The design feels cumbersome.
Sometimes my "todos" don't get sent to my email inbox.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need to speed up your sourcing and overall ToF, if you want to have a place where an entire team or company can collaborate on prospects and TAM (total addressable market) scrapes, if putting reminders in calendars for email follow-ups is getting old and slow, if manual tracking ToF metrics is not giving you a valid snapshot, or you care about DEIB; Gem is the tool for all this and more.
