GEM VS. ASHBY

AI-first recruiting in a true all-in-one

Most "all-in-one" platforms still leave you buying separate sourcing tools. Gem actually consolidates everything — ATS, CRM, scheduling, analytics, and AI sourcing across 650M+ profiles — so you can finally ditch the tool sprawl.

Why customers choose Gem over Ashby

AI sourcing that replaces expensive tools

Leave separate sourcing tools behind and consolidate spend with instant access to AI-powered search across 650M+ profiles, past candidates in your CRM and ATS, plus 1-click add from LinkedIn and 20+ sourcing sites.

Superior email coverage and multi-channel outreach

Ditch email credits and manual workflows. Gem delivers unlimited email finding with best-in-class coverage, automates sequences across email and SMS that drive higher conversions, and gives you detailed analytics so you know exactly what's working.

Inclusive pricing with no surprise fees

Gem's pricing includes unlimited hiring manager access at no additional cost. Your entire team can collaborate on the platform without seat shuffling or license restrictions. No hidden charges for data refreshes or advanced scheduling either.

Advanced AI that actually helps screen applicants

Gem's AI clearly explains why candidates rank where they do and provides detailed match scores beyond simple color-coding that leaves you guessing about candidate fit.

Built for recruiters, not engineers

While Ashby boasts powerful features, they don't amount to much if your team can't use them. Gem's intuitive design means your entire team can master it in days, not months. Plus, our customer success team focuses on solving your recruiting problems, not forcing you to adapt to our platform.

Simple, flexible ATS migrations

If you're ready for a new ATS today, we make the transition easy. If you want to migrate over time, you can use Gem's AI sourcing, CRM, analytics, and other products alongside your existing ATS to fill immediate gaps in your tech stack.
