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.
  • Gem has excellent customer service. Their customer success team is available and incredibly supportive in onboarding new teammates to the tool.
  • Gem has friendly user interface.
  • Gem is one of a kind in showing conversion rates starting from outreach messaging.
  • 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.
It is well suited for recruiting teams who are looking for a CRM where the scheduling of emails is intuitive, well structured, and if you're interested in the insights associated with the outreach. It's not as appropriate if you're invested heavily in your own ATS as your CRM because this will likely be duplicative work.
  • 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.

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.
  • Pipeline Analytics.
  • Outreach.
  • Tracking engagement.
  • Pricing.
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.
  • Speed of hiring.
  • More analytical on our operational efficiency.
  • Insights into potential biases in the process.
Gem is the most comprehensive we've seen so far in the industry.

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!
  • 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).
  • Honestly - nothing! Gem just keeps getting better and better in ways I wouldn't have thought of!
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!
  • Allowed us to track our impact through the analytics and set more realistic expectations with exec teams on what is possible for recruiting.
We looked at Resource which was acquired by Gem :) That was it!

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.
  • DEIB tracking and analysis.
  • Whole team and individual outreach data.
  • Innovating out reach possibilities.
  • Email capture.
  • The design feels cumbersome.
  • Sometimes my "todos" don't get sent to my email inbox.
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.
  • More sourcing velocity.
  • Less other tools.
  • Accurate ToF data speeding up hiring.
  • Clara and from TopFunnel
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.
