Gem review

Gem ranks first because it covers more of the recruiting funnel than any other tool here while still publishing a price for small companies. Its AI Sourcing Agent searches 800M+ profiles, an AI Application Review Agent scores inbound applicants before a recruiter opens them, and a Talent Rediscovery Agent resurfaces past candidates from your CRM and ATS. Outreach runs as multi-channel sequences with unlimited email-finding, and the scheduling module offers a candidate self-scheduling portal, interviewer load balancing and multi-day panels. You can buy Gem on top of your current ATS or replace it with the All-in-One plan, which adds job posting to 100+ boards, scorecards and offers. Companies under 30 employees get six months free and then 50% off, and the Startup Program shows $130 a month billed yearly for 1 to 10 employees. Larger teams pay a custom price based on headcount, and AI agents sit on a separate AI-Powered seat.
