Gem

What is Gem? Gem (formerly ZenSourcer) is an all-in-one recruiting platform that integrates with LinkedIn, Gmail, Outlook, and your ATS. We enable world-class recruiting teams to find, engage, and nurture top talent. How do recruiters use it? Recruiters use Gem to build lists of people to reach out to, find email, and automate followups. We save you time, double response rate, and give visibility into what’s working. How can teams and hiring managers collaborate using Gem? Teams use Gem to collaborate on candidates, discover best practices, and never reach out to the same person twice. Managers unlock visibility into their team’s pipeline because every touchpoint is automatically tracked. And everything syncs to your applicant tracking system with best-in-class data integrity. Why Gem? When co-founders Steve Bartel and Nick Bushak were working as engineering managers at Dropbox and Facebook, both companies were looking to rapidly hire and expand. But there wasn't an effective way to track passive talent relationships before talent was ready to apply... and the best people already had jobs. So, engineers, hiring managers, and recruiters built spreadsheets to keep track of the best of the best. These were their “Gems.” Steve and Nick knew that managing and nurturing relationships with top talent was soon going to require more than a spreadsheet. It was going to require software—built specifically for recruiters—that could automate tasks, track touchpoints, show pipeline views, and offer analytics for forecasting hires. They recognized recruiting teams deserved more than the piecemeal tools they currently had. That recognition was where Gem was born.
