    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!

    I would recommend Phenom to large enterprise needs as opposed to smaller companies. It can be a bit complex and provide too much customisation, which sounds like a great match for large organisations, but can be counterproductive for smaller ones. It's a great tool for those companies looking to take their talent function further, get them to the next level, as it provides a range of opportunities to further EB, talent community, etc. If a company is looking for a tool for storing candidates to perform basic tasks, this tool is too sophisticated

    Cons
    Gem
    • 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.

    Usability
    Gem
    For tech-savvy users, using Gem is a breeze. For users with less tech intelligence, the UI can be a bit clunky, and can take some training and adaptation to use properly - it's a very robust tool, but, options can feel a bit overwhelming if you're not sure of the exact location of what you're looking for

    Great tool if you want to use all it features in particular automation and intelligence to streamline recruitment processes. Note that Phenom Talent Experience Management (TXM) Platform is not only for recruitment process but can be also talent platform for internal employees supporting internal mobility, including skills ecosystem. Integrations are paint point and require some effort to coordinate with support team and difficult to get some parts of the data to analytics tool. Consider high team engagement to adopt the solution, work with Phenom on proper system set up.

    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.

    More that 2 years ago when we have moved to Phenom from SAP Successfactors, the Recruitment module was much behind and usability of the CRM and usability of ATS was not acceptable by the business. Recent SmartRecuiters acquisition by SAP addressed this gap, however business invested to much effort to consider another change
