I like that Gem makes candidate sourcing, recruitment outreach, and managing hiring pipelines efficient. It really helps with challenges like candidate sourcing, pipeline management, and outreach tracking. It's great having candidate sourcing and pipeline management all in one platform because it makes the hiring process much more organized and efficient. I appreciate how I can handle everything from one place, streamlining the process significantly. I also use Gem alongside LinkedIn Recruiter, my ATS, and Gmail platform.

I use Gem for candidate sourcing and outreach. I like the ease of use of the platform. Gem seamlessly integrates with LinkedIn Recruiter and our applicant tracking system, Greenhouse, making it really easy to understand where candidates are in the recruiting process. The Gem Chrome extension is very powerful, making adding candidates to a sequence and reaching out to them a one-click process, saving a lot of back and forth. I find the Gem interface much easier to use compared to other tools like Top Funnel. The rollout was super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Gem is a one-stop place for end-to-end recruitment. It's simple to use and has some great features. The interview scheduling is a strong feature that I like, along with the email sequences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gem needs to be really careful about product updates, they don't give a proper notice. The initial setup was also not easy at all, as I ran into many issues back in 2025. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Gem for recruitment and talent management, and it really helps streamline the entire hiring process by bringing multiple tools into one platform. I like the easy pipeline management and the automation features, which include timely follow-ups, personalization at scale, automated out sequence, and workflow consistency. It's great to have strong analytics and the ability to integrate with other tools if needed. I also appreciate the candidate engagement features. Additionally, setting up Gem was fast and easy.

I find there's a learning curve for new users, and the search and filtering features could be improved. There's a dependence on integration, which can be limiting, and I think the UI could use some improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

gem is good and does a great job of automating messages in campaigns however it becomes redundant against current tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

just the overall integration into other applications, i have to go back and redo the work in gem even though gem recognizes that i've sent messages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Gem brings the entire recruiting flow into one platform while automating many repetitive tasks recruiters usually spend hours on. The AI-powered sourcing and outreach features help me find qualified candidates faster and manage engagement at scale without losing personalization. I really value the automated follow-ups and candidate tracking, which make it easy to stay organized and ensure no strong candidates fall through the cracks. The scheduling automation saves significant time by coordinating interviews automatically. The analytics dashboard provides clear visibility into pipeline performance and outreach effectiveness.

Overall, Gem helps streamline recruiting operations while giving data-driven insights that improve decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of a learning curve when first setting up Gem, especially with workflows and outreach sequences for new users not familiar with sourcing automation tools. Some reporting features can feel slightly complex when trying to pull very specific or customized insights. Occasionally, syncing delays with integrations occur, which sometimes requires a manual refresh to ensure candidate information is fully up to date. I would also appreciate more flexibility in customizing dashboards and reporting views to match different hiring team needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Gem for sourcing and candidate outreach, and it really helps automate messaging and organize various flows. I like the ease of the UI and the ability to move fast. The automated sequences and the ability to leverage 'send on behalf of' messaging are great features. I find the analytics helpful, and the initial setup was smooth since I've used it before.

The email features don't always work right. It would be better if there were more confidence levels in the emails you find for candidates, as I've emailed many people and they are not the right person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to set up automated sequences is very helpful! Yes as it provides many key functions ranging from:

AI-powered candidate sourcing from a large talent database.

Email outreach and recruiting campaigns.

CRM for managing talent pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback of Gem is that it has a learning curve, especially for teams that are new to applicant tracking and sourcing workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy using Gem for sourcing candidates because it gives a bit of an advantage, especially for IT positions or roles. I find it quite friendly as a user experience and see it as comparable to popular ATS like Greenhouse and Ashby. The features are unique, and I appreciate how integrated and easy to use it is. Setting it up was straightforward, and it felt relatable to other ATS software with a decent UI/UX aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say just having better integrations within LinkedIn itself. Because as you guys might know, LinkedIn itself is the bread and butter it comes to recruitment. So I would say just that. But apart from that, it should be quite decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
