Gem Reviews & Product Details

I’ve been using Gem for around a month for candidate sourcing and outreach. The outreach side has been the highlight for me, helping me connect with potential candidates and start conversations about opportunities. As a recruiter, finding candidates is only part of the process, so having support with approaching them is valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Candidate search is the area I’d most like to see improved. Although I’ve found relevant people through Gem, I’d like it to be easier to narrow searches down to candidates who closely match a particular brief. I’m still relatively new to the platform, so I’m also learning how to get the most from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to find candidates, get their email addresses, and start outreach quickly. Automated follow-ups save a lot of time, while the CRM makes it easy to keep track of candidates and previous communication. The sourcing and AI features are also helpful when working on multiple roles at the same time. The interface is straightforward, and the integrations with ATS and other recruiting tools make the overall workflow much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can feel a little high for smaller recruiting teams, especially with heavy use of email/contact credits. Some of the advanced features take a bit of time to learn, and the initial setup and integrations can require some configuration. Candidate information and AI suggestions still need to be reviewed before reaching out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easily I can customize Gem for specific tasks and create specialized AI assistants for recruitment interviews, career guidance, and content creation. It saves me time, makes repetitive work easier, and helps me keep instructions consistent without explaining my requirements every time. I find it especially useful that I can upload reference documents to get more relevant answers, organize complex tasks into simple steps, and experiment with different ideas. I also find Gem useful alongside Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets for managing reference documents, organizing information, and tracking recruitment data. The initial setup felt relatively easy and straightforward, and creating and customizing a Gem didn’t require much technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like Gem to remember context and follow detailed instructions more consistently. Sometimes its responses can be generic, and I need multiple follow-up prompts to get the result I want. I’d also like better accuracy, more control over customization, smoother integration with other tools, and improvements to reference document handling and task execution. I’d like Gem to learn from my feedback, remember my work preferences, and give more personalized, complete results with fewer follow-up prompts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gem makes my outreach and follow-up process much more structured. I like that candidate communication, pipeline stages, notes, and engagement activity are all visible in one place, so I don’t have to manually track everything across spreadsheets or scattered email threads.

The platform is easy to use, and its integrations with LinkedIn and email help cut down on repetitive work. It’s especially helpful for managing multiple outreach campaigns at once, tracking responses, and staying on top of timely follow-ups. Overall, Gem has made my sourcing and engagement workflow more organized and more data-driven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takes too much time to load the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gem has strong potential as a recruiting CRM and sourcing platform. The interface is intuitive, and the automation capabilities are promising. Unfortunately, we have not been able to realize that value because the implementation and customer success experience fell well short of what was promised during our renewal process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We renewed our subscription after being assured we would receive a fresh implementation experience and dedicated Customer Success support. Instead, multiple requests for assistance went unanswered beyond automated responses, and ownership of our account was lacking. When we raised concerns, we were redirected to generic support resources rather than receiving the partnership that was promised. As a growing organization, we value vendors that follow through on their commitments. The product has potential, but the gap between the sales experience and post-sale support makes it difficult to recommend at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, my biggest gripes with Gem are how incredibly expensive it is for smaller teams and how clunky its ATS integrations can get.

While using Gem I feel like some pages load very slow. Feels like a loading issues. I have explored few features of the platform so I think there are more option to explore more about the product and workflows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gem was mostly used by me during the recruiting process, where centralizing candidate sourcing activities, tracking communication, and organizing pipelines were the key concerns. My daily routine mostly consisted of analyzing the candidates' profile, following the sequence of outreach activities, and tracking follow-ups within my various hiring pipelines.

One of the operational conveniences of using Gem was getting the ability to see all of my candidates' communications history and their stage within outreach without having to track those manually through email chains and spreadsheets. While on hiring streaks, I would constantly check response activities, recruitment notes, and candidate pipeline stages to organize my follow-ups and prevent duplicate communications.

Additionally, I used Gem while coordinating sourcing activity on multiple hiring campaigns concurrently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform also requires some time to be configured appropriately, depending on the recruiting process flows in place. Initially, I needed to take more time understanding the interactions between sequence, candidate status, and integration since any slight variation in processes could impact reporting and candidate management.

Another problem associated with using the platform is ensuring that the pipeline data remains clean when several recruiters make changes at the same time. In the absence of proper workflow management, duplicating candidates or even out-of-date statuses may occur.

There are also some complex workflows for reporting and filtering that come with large recruiting pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best about Gem is its intuitive interface and how it brings sourcing, candidate engagement, and recruiting workflows into one place. The automation features save time on repetitive tasks, the analytics provide useful insights, and the integrations with ATS and other recruiting tools make it easy to keep everything organized and efficient.

One area where Gem could improve is performance with larger candidate lists, as some pages can occasionally feel slow to load. There is also a learning curve when exploring more advanced features, and having more customization options for reporting and workflows would make the platform even more flexible.

is a powerful tool for sourcing and outreach, it can sometimes be slow or buggy, especially when syncing with ATS systems or handling large data sets. Additionally, the UI can feel slightly cluttered at times, making it harder to navigate or locate specific features quickly.
