Gem celebrates multiple G2 Fall 2024 awards Graphic

The new year is often a time for fresh starts and, well, new things. And we’re all for that, but we can’t let too much time slip by without celebrating one of our final accomplishments of the past year. When we say “our,” by the way, we’re including you, because Gem wouldn’t have achieved these accolades without your help. Each quarter, G2 announces its business software award winners based on customer ratings and reviews.

In the final days of 2024, Gem earned over 40 badges and was named a Leader across multiple categories in the winter G2 awards, including:

Applicant Tracking System: Overall + Enterprise
Recruiting Automation: Overall + Mid-market
Diversity Recruiting: Overall + Mid-market
Candidate Relationship Management: Overall + Mid-market
Talent Intelligence: Overall + Mid-market

Let’s take a closer look at each category and hear from some of our customers directly!

Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

Gem customers love the fact that they can consolidate their tech stack and reduce costs with a built-in CRM, ATS, scheduling, e-signature, and more in one end-to-end platform.

“Innovation is one of our core values. And we do everything to try to be the best internally and externally. So the systems we use internally—our ATS, our CRM—have to be just as good as the product we're building for our customers.” – Martina Branan, Manager, Talent Acquisition, Vectorworks Inc.

Learn more about how Gem’s ATS helped Vectorworks 3x their scheduling efficiency while creating a better, more seamless candidate experience.

Recruiting Automation

Gem offers automation solutions for sourcing and outreach, inbound app review, and scheduling, helping our customers source up to five times faster.

“Gem is probably one of the products that has made the biggest difference for my company. We believe in hiring the best people, and so we source a ton of candidates and try to share with the broader tech community what Merge does. If we had to manually do this, it would be really difficult for us to have scaled to the team we have today.” – Shensi D., Co-founder, small business, G2 review

“Gem has significantly enhanced our recruiting efficiency and effectiveness. The platform's intuitive interface and comprehensive training resources facilitated a smooth onboarding experience, allowing our team to quickly leverage its functionalities. The seamless integration with Workday streamlined our workflow, and the pre-built dashboards provide valuable insights into key recruiting metrics, which we can readily share with our executive team for data-driven decision-making. Gem has become an indispensable tool in our daily operations.” – Simone B., Research & Sourcing Lead + Sales Recruiter, mid-market customer, G2 review

Diversity Recruiting

Customers rely on Gem to help them meet their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals by tracking outreach data, identifying potential biases, experimenting with different links and subject lines, and crafting nurture campaigns that allow you to build relationships with candidates from underrepresented communities who might need more time to establish trust.

“We can see where we're falling short in terms of underrepresented groups in our pipelines. And I think that's really helpful for removing assumptions and allowing us to make data-informed decisions. We don't have to guess. We can actually have data, set more metric-based goals, and measure success in a way that would be challenging without Gem.” – Emily Sykes, Recruiting Operations Specialist, Faire

Candidate Relationship Management (CRM)

Gem’s Recruiting CRM allows you to discover, nurture, and engage talent across your entire network to stay ahead of future hiring demands.

“70% of hires were either silver medalists or other people we’d sourced through Gem that we moved to a different track. Had we not had access to candidate rediscovery through Gem, there’s no way we would have been as efficient.” – Brie Bastidas, Global Director of Technical Talent, Scale

Talent Intelligence

G2 defines talent intelligence software as any tool that employs AI frameworks or features to assist with talent acquisition or management processes.

Gem’s AI solutions—AI Sourcing, AI Inbound Ranking, and AI Talent Rediscovery—help recruiters find better candidate matches through AI-powered features, while still leaving all the hiring decisions in your hands.

“Their product team is always open to conversations around improvement and consistently stays on the cutting edge of technology through early adoption of AI tools in recruitment and sourcing.” – Andrea Clarkson, Head of Global Recruitment Helix (mid-market customer), G2 review
