Gem is an AI-first all-in-one recruiting platform that combines an applicant tracking system (ATS), candidate relationship management (CRM), and AI-powered sourcing in a single product.
The platform uses agentic AI to automate sourcing, application review, and rediscovery of past candidates in a team's existing talent pool. Recruiters can run automated, personalized outreach sequences, schedule interviews, and track the full hiring funnel with built-in recruiting analytics. Because the ATS and CRM share unified candidate data, teams avoid syncing between separate sourcing and tracking tools; Gem also integrates with existing ATSs such as Workday for teams that keep their current system of record.
Gem is used by more than 1,200 companies, from startups to enterprises with over 1,000 employees, as well as recruiting and staffing firms. Founded in 2017 by Steve Bartel and Nick Bushak, the company is headquartered in San Francisco.
Gem is a web application offered in three tiers: Startups (free for companies under 30 employees, with discounted pricing up to 100), Growth, and Enterprise, with the latter two priced via sales. Higher tiers add features such as SSO, extended data retention, and larger AI sourcing credit allowances.
