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 — CRM, ATS, scheduling, analytics, and AI sourcing across 650M+ profiles — so you can finally ditch the tool sprawl.

Why customers choose Gem over Ashby

Source from all channels and 650+ million profiles

Ditch separate sourcing tools and get immediate access to AI-powered search across millions of profiles, plus past candidates in your CRM and ATS. 

Consolidate your ATS when you're ready

Ripping out your existing ATS takes time. Gem's bi-directional syncs let you migrate at your own pace — start with the modules you need most, keep your existing ATS, and consolidate only when you're ready.

Truly inclusive pricing with no surprise fees

Gem's transparent 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.

Easier sourcing with superior coverage and analytics

Stop counting email credits and multi-clicking through clunky workflows. Gem delivers unlimited email finding, lets you add candidates directly into sequences from 20+ sourcing sites, and provides detailed analytics on message-level conversion rates and team performance — all without switching tools.

AI that actually helps screen applicants

Move beyond simple color-coding that leaves you guessing about candidate fit. Gem's AI provides detailed match scores against specific job requirements, with clear explanations of why candidates rank where they do.

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.
