Introducing Gem's AI-powered App Review
Inbound fatigue continues to be a big topic for recruiting teams of all sizes. According to our upcoming benchmarks report (coming January!), inbound applications per recruiter have jumped by 2.7x over the past three years. Yet our data shows that only 5–10% of these applicants actually meet the basic qualifications. So, while recruiters are facing triple the workload, the ROI just isn’t there.
That’s where Gem’s AI-powered App Review helps. By simply adding your qualifications and fine-tuning with recommended criteria, Gem instantly surfaces the best-matched applicants in your stack. To help you make decisions faster, Gem also explains exactly how each candidate matched, giving you full control to verify and adjust your search at any time.

Define criteria in your own words
Easily set your qualifications in your own words and fine-tune your results with optional AI keywords and boolean search. Want to prioritize applicants with “4+ years of experience in SaaS sales” or “experience with data visualization tools like Tableau and Looker” ? Simply tell Gem what matters most to you, and you’ll see the best matches first.
"Gem's AI ranking and keyword filters have been really helpful for certain roles with specific requirements. For example, I worked with a recruiter to run a test on a financial analyst role with over 1,500 applicants -- we threw in our criteria and found the ranking to be beneficial to her search for the right candidates."
Adam Berson
Senior Technical Recruiter
Prioritize the best applicants
With AI inbound ranking, context-rich profiles, and bulk actions, you’re able to quickly find the most qualified candidates in your stack. Imagine sorting through a week’s worth of applications in a few clicks – start with the best and skip the time-consuming scroll.
"What used to take me hours or even days to complete can now be done in minutes with Gem's AI-powered App Review. I can be more efficient with my time while passing higher-quality candidates through our interview process who would have been buried under hundreds of applications in the past. It's a win-win for recruiters and candidates."
James Parker
Head of Talent
Verify results with transparent AI
Each recommendation includes a clear match score and a detailed AI summary, so you know exactly why a candidate was prioritized. You’re not left guessing – adjust and fine-tune your criteria as you go. It’s quality results with full transparency.
"I loved how fast and easy it is to sort candidates — I just put in the requirements from the job description right into AI Ranking, and it scored applicants perfectly. I'm really looking forward to continuing to use this to speed up reviews."

Our approach to responsible AI
We’re committed to partnering with our customers to build AI responsibly, ensuring transparency, control, and proactive safety measures. Here’s how we approach it:
Transparency & control
Gem AI does not make hiring decisions. We let recruiters control what is inputted into the AI (such as criteria to score a profile), and display their input with objective numeric scores and explanations that provide context on how a candidate matched. They’re able to edit what they input into the AI at any time.
Proactive guardrails
We’ve added proactive guardrails to ensure responsible AI use. This means removing personally identifiable information (PII) from profile data before sending it to the AI for scoring, and we provide warnings for subjective inputs, like “demonstrates leadership skills,” that may be challenging for AI to interpret consistently.
Enterprise-grade compliance
Our platform and compliance framework are reviewed by internal governance and third-party audits to ensure proper security and procedures. We’ve conducted a successful bias audit with our partner, BABL, and will undertake an annual audit as part of our process.
Next-gen technology
Unlike legacy AI vendors that use outdated machine-learning models, Gem uses the latest generative AI, delivering superior performance. This next-gen technology delivers better accuracy, more transparency & control, and faster calibration.
What makes Gem AI unique?
Part of a complete platform
Unlike other AI solutions, Gem AI is built directly into your CRM so you can manage candidates in one place and juggle fewer tools.
More context on candidate relationships
Accelerate decision making and personalize every message with a view into your entire relationship history including past applications, interactions, and more.
Ease of use & actionability
Advance top applicants faster with AI inbound ranking, objective match scores, bulk actions, and customizable email templates.
Transparency & control
Remove bias and ensure consistency in your reviews by assessing every candidate on the same criteria, and easily fine-tune your qualifications with AI recommendations.
"Being able to utilize AI to narrow down and rank hundreds or even thousands of applications with a click of a button will be a game changer! This will allow us to find the perfect candidate more efficiently than prior to partnering with Gem AI."
Steve DeCorpo
Director, Global Talent Acquisition
Up next: Find your warmest leads faster with AI Talent Rediscovery
Previous candidates – like silver medalists – are an untapped source of talent. They already know your brand, align with your vision, and were once highly engaged. But let’s be honest: most ATSs don’t make it easy to rediscover these warm leads.
Gem’s AI Talent Rediscovery changes that by automatically surfacing top candidates across your CRM and ATS who are a strong fit based on your current criteria. Whether they attended a recent event, received positive feedback in a past interview, or have an updated profile, Gem AI will highlight why each candidate is worth reconnecting with. So, when it’s time to reach out, you’re reaching out to the right people with the right context.

We are also hosting a demo-day webinar on December 5th, during which we’ll showcase the product in more detail and answer any live Q&As!
