CRM

Your source of truth across talent relationships

Make the most out of your recruiting events with Resume Book Upload

Can you imagine manually entering candidate information one resume at a time? Now imagine you have hundreds of resumes after a successful career fair or event. I can’t think of anything more tedious! This is why we’re happy to share Gem’s Resume Book Upload to bulk create Gem profiles with just a few clicks. Save time, measure the return on your recruiting events, and ensure timely follow-up with your prospects when you upload just one PDF and let Gem do the work of automatically importing each candidate for you.

TALENT SOURCING & OUTREACH

Reach even more talent, faster

Personalize your Branded Campaigns with Custom Tokens

Give your Branded Campaigns a personalized touch with custom tokens, just the way they work in Sequences. Custom tokens are available for first name, last name, company, and day of the week.

PIPELINE MANAGEMENT

Efficiently deliver a great candidate experience

Ensure timely follow-ups with SLA alerts

We know recruiters have a lot to remember and it is so easy to let a follow-up fall through the cracks. But ghosting, even if accidental, negatively impacts the candidate experience. Let Gem help you stay accountable with automated alerts directly to your inbox so you never miss an SLA. Learn more about Talent Pipeline SLAs.

ICYMI Application Review is now available and with more updates

No more hours spent scanning through hundreds of unqualified resumes. Gem’s Application Review helps you find the needle in your haystack of resumes. Simplify and streamline how recruiters manage their growing inbound applications, empowering them to quickly sift through their applicant stack and find quality candidates, all at record speed and with minimal headaches.

To add to this release, we made improvements:

  • New filter to keep communication aligned when you filter for applicants that have (or have not been) previously contacted by your team.

  • Unlock accessibility and efficiency with hotkeys for different actions on Application Review.
