“As companies grow, spreadsheets quickly become difficult to organize and manage effectively. The beauty of having the Capacity Planner is that it allows us to consolidate our tools and trust Gem as the source of truth for all things sourcing, reporting, and planning. It's intuitive and accessible to users who may not be spreadsheet-savvy, and alleviates any fear they may have of breaking things.”

“When you’re staring at a blank sheet or working from one that someone else created, it’s hard to really understand your recruiter capacity breakdown and how it might change depending on different circumstances. With [Capacity Planner], you have the brain space to do this strategic work and can test your assumptions to get a more accurate view.”
Shannon Lovelace-WhiteManager, Talent Operations and Enablement
“Gem [Talent Compass] essentially tells me how many hours of work we’ll have to put in to suffice a new headcount. Based on historical conversion rates for that role, I know how many outreaches my team will have to make, how many phone screens, how many onsites, how many offers extended to get an offer-accept. As soon as you have that data, you know whether you’re under-resourced or not. So if I need to go to leadership and say, I need more sourcers if we’re really going to hire this many people, Gem has already made the argument for me.”
Carmen ColemanHead of Business Recruiting
“Capacity planning is important for our operations team. It answers the following questions; what are our resources? What can we actually accomplish with them? Business priorities shift over time and we have to be able to respond. Having a really quick way to look at our capacity and how we are planning for it is really powerful. Gem has all the data that leads to those assumptions.”
