Gem

There's not enough flexibility with recruitment insights, but it's better than the reports from Greenhouse.

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.

We use Gem for sourcing, research, and to be better organized within the recruiting process.

Gem is used for two primary purposes at Handshake. One is for sourcing candidates through email sequences and nurturing prospects for future roles. The other is for analytics - Gem Pipeline Analytics gives us insight into how our pipeline is performing including how fast we're hiring, what our conversion rates look like from stage to stage, and how many interviews are taking place.

I have been using Gem for prospecting at my current organization for the last 2 years now. Overall, we like the product and it has contributed immensely to our efforts of building a global remote team. We would recommend Gem to other companies as well. Pros: Options to create specific projects for hires/positions. Custom sequences with a lot of options to personalize, create drips, and custom sending time. Tracking for opens, clicks, replies, advanced reporting. Ability to parse emails from LinkedIn URLs. Cons: Inability to parse emails from the complete lists. Doesn't give many results in certain geographies. Lack of features for creating different dashboards for reporting. You can't edit a sequence mid-way after the first email is sent.

We use Gem for multiple aspects of the recruiting funnel. The top uses we see as benefits are: Data on pipeline analytics to help our hiring teams operate their interviews more efficiently. Streamlining and automating our outreach to passive candidates. Organizing our passive candidates into projects, including organizing prospects for future engagement. Cross collaborating with other recruiters on sourcing projects.

Here we use Gem to reach out and have control of candidates contacted by each source and recruiter, we have it separated by projects of each client and positions so it helps us to have a great order in our reach outs and all the feedbacks of the candidates contacted.

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!

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.

The gem helps me to create talent pipelines and reach out to multiple candidates in one go. I also love the analysis and reports I can build within Gem.

We use it to perform continuous reach out to candidates. It helps us get higher response rates as candidates typically respond to the second or third email more often than they do the first email.
