Gem vs. ZoomInfo Talent

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!

Honestly, I'm not using ZoomInfo because I have researchers who have their licenses to several platforms. So, I don't think I need it moving forward.

• 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.

• ZoomInfo Talent has detailed search parameters to help identified potentially qualified candidates.
• ZoomInfo Talent allows you to download your results via CSV or Excel directly to your ATS/CRM once linked.
• ZoomInfo Talent shows email open info if you send them emails via ZoomInfo.

• It would be nice I could send emails through Gem instead of following that process on Linkedin for candidates who do not have their email id.
• I would be nice it I am given an automated analysis of how my sequence did.
• Connecting it not only to LinkedIn but to other sites such as Github and Slack may improve the search scope to recruiters.

• I think the data (emails and phone numbers) is only somewhat accurate.
• Often there is company data missing that is important.
• ZoomInfo doesn't provide phone support for free; you have to pay for phone support in addition to the platform.

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

It's ok. I don't think it's fabulous. Initially I purchased ZoomInfo Talent to replace LinkedIn Professional Recruiter. I found that I was still finding and connecting with more candidates and ultimately placing them using LinkedIn. I don't think it's an adequate substitute for LinkedIn RPS.

I haven't used any other product like Gem. I think is very hard to find products with such great features that compare to Gem, Gem has everything that pretty much you may need for your duties, you have updated contact info, have email sequences, statistics for each project created, and also a great and friendly interface that makes a very easy to use tool.

LinkedIn is a better recruitment program overall in my opinion. I like the InMail feature which seems to get far better results than emailing from ZoomInfo Talent.

• Our response rates have increased significantly year after year.
• Our percentage of sourced hires has gone from 17% to 32@
• We have seen stronger and more engaged candidates through email sequences than LinkedIn Recruiter InMails.

• Negative ROI for 2024. I found often the phone numbers, emails and current companies were not current.
• It's a nice product to have as an add on.
• I don't think training is great; I found it made more sense to hire someone to utilize my sourcing instead.
