What is Gem?
Gem is a recruiting platform for talent acquisition teams that covers the hiring process from the first candidate search to the signed offer. Its modules are an applicant tracking system, a CRM for nurturing talent pools, interview scheduling, and analytics with forecasting. On top of these sit AI agents: one searches a database of more than 800 million profiles, one scores and ranks inbound applications with an explanation for each result, one flags suspicious applicants, and one resurfaces earlier candidates who now fit a role. Companies can adopt Gem in two ways, either connecting the agents and CRM to an ATS they already run, such as Greenhouse, Workday, Lever or iCIMS, or using the all-in-one version with the built-in ATS. Pricing is custom and tied to company size, and a programme for startups offers reduced rates.
