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.

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.

One of my favorite things about Gem is the extent to which it consolidates sourcing, candidate management, recruiting analytics, and workflow automation, all in one system without adding unnecessary complexity to the recruiting process.

Gem makes recruiting easier and more efficient, especially in a rapidly growing organization, where hiring efficiency and the candidate experience have a direct influence on the company's ability to grow quickly. In my opinion, the main benefit of Gem is its visibility into the whole talent pipeline. By having one place to see and organize your sourcing efforts, engagement performance, pipeline health, and recruiting metrics, you eliminate the need to use multiple tools and manual methods.

As for the user interface, Gem is both intuitive and convenient for recruiters. Its workflow allows easily tracking candidates, sending out outreach campaigns, and coordinating efforts among various recruitment teams without creating additional administrative workload.

Integrations with other platforms is another significant advantage of Gem. As far as I am concerned, the platform integrates seamlessly with ATS platforms, LinkedIn, email sequences, calendar systems, and recruiting operations management systems, therefore minimizing duplicate administrative actions and ensuring higher consistency and visibility of recruiting metrics.

The thing that I dislike about Gem is that even though the platform is quite powerful in terms of workflow management related to recruitment, there can be some limitations when it comes to the growing complexity and specificity of hiring processes.

For example, I sometimes found myself limited by how easily Gem allows you to customize its workflows and generate detailed reports about the performance of your recruiting process. The system has pretty powerful analytics tools in general, but when you work in a large recruiting environment, having highly specific KPIs for your recruiting process or complex reporting processes, it might be quite limiting.

In terms of UI/UX design, the platform is fairly easy to use in general, yet when it comes to large-scale campaigns and sourcing processes, there can be moments when it feels cluttered to navigate through all this information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Additionally, the UI can feel slightly cluttered at times, making it harder to navigate or locate specific features quickly.

I use Gem mainly for candidate sourcing and outreach, and it helps me keep track of candidates and stay organized throughout the hiring process. I like how easy it is to keep everything organized.

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 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.

Also, setting up Gem was super easy, which was very impressive as I've worked with many other tools that are complicated and time-consuming to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
