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!
Read full review I can manage candidates from the search to moving them to projects to messaging in one place, which makes it a more streamlined and efficient process. If a candidate does not respond to an outreach message from my LinkedIn recruiter mailbox, I can then send a connection request and a message directing them, to the recruiter message.
Read full review Pros He does great at the moment of follow up candidates. It has a great AI that helps to automatically leave the status of the candidate depending on their response. Save you a lot of time helping you to find the contact info of the candidate automatically. Read full review The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use. It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter. The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview. Read full review Cons Gem's dashboards feature is still a work in progress. It's not incredibly intuitive and there aren't many ways to visualize data. There are often discrepancies between what's in the ATS and what's in Gem and it requires troubleshooting. It would be great if Gem could integrate with data from other sources such as LinkedIn Recruiter so we could see conversion rate data from there as well. Read full review For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message) Read full review Alternatives Considered Gem was able to allow more customization. We were able to see more into our current funnels. Easier to share and collaborate with others. Gem made email campaigns simpler and more customized. Gem took some of the LinkedIn inmail processes and automated them. Gem had better data and after some time got more accurate emails.
Read full review LinkedIn Recruiter has the largest reach globally. I mean, if you're not on LinkedIn, do you even exist? ;) It is the only real game in town for one-stop-shopping for candidates. The service is premium, and so is the price. However, there is nothing that I'm aware of in the market that can compete.
Read full review Return on Investment I have been able to reach out to more candidates since using Gem. I have been more organized with responses since using Gem. I am able to easily create new sequences using old sequences. Read full review Refined search for the appropriate candidates. Emails sent are not sure to be delivered as there is no notifications. Not worth the amount spent in getting the service. Contact information unavailable to get in touch. Limits in the daily use of InMail. Read full review ScreenShots
