Gem

Overview

Gem is an AI-first all-in-one recruiting platform that brings together ATS (Applicant Tracking System), CRM (Candidate Relationship Management), sourcing, scheduling, and analytics with AI built into every workflow. Founded in 2017 and based in San Francisco, Gem has achieved Unicorn status with a $1.2B valuation backed by key investors including ICONIQ, Greylock, and Accel. Over 1,200 companies - from startups to industry leaders like Airbnb, Wayfair, Cintas, Carmax, Doordash, and Zillow - trust Gem. The platform includes access to 800M+ profiles to source from, providing comprehensive talent data for outbound recruiting. Gem re-engages previously sourced candidates by matching them to new roles using AI, helping teams avoid redundant sourcing and leverage existing talent pools. The platform provides analytics across the recruiting funnel without requiring complex BI tools, from pipeline metrics to hiring forecasts. Key capabilities include AI-powered sourcing from 800M+ profiles, automated candidate matching and re-engagement, full ATS functionality managing application workflows, CRM features for nurturing talent relationships, scheduling automation coordinating interviews, email and outreach sequencing, analytics and forecasting, and integration with major HR systems. The AI helps recruiters identify qualified candidates faster and personalize outreach at scale. Pricing includes a Startups plan for small businesses with up to 100 FTEs at $270/month base rate, providing full access to core features including ATS, CRM, sourcing tools, scheduling, analytics, AI sourcing, and a free year of Metaview Pro. The pricing model offers flexibility with deeper discounts when bundling more modules upfront. Enterprise pricing is available for larger organizations with custom needs. Gem serves recruiting teams at companies of all sizes, particularly those frustrated with point solutions that don't integrate well. The all-in-one approach eliminates data silos between sourcing, applicant tracking, and relationship management, creating unified candidate records and seamless workflows. What differentiates Gem is its "AI-first" philosophy - rather than adding AI features to legacy systems, Gem built AI into the platform from the ground up. This enables more sophisticated capabilities like intelligent candidate re-engagement and predictive analytics. The platform's focus on unifying traditionally separate recruiting functions (ATS, CRM, sourcing) in one system reduces tool sprawl and improves data quality.
