Gem
When co-founders Steve Bartel and Nick Bushak were working as engineering managers at Dropbox and Facebook, both companies were looking to rapidly hire and expand. But there wasn't an effective way to track passive talent relationships before talent was ready to apply... and the best people already had jobs. So, engineers, hiring managers, and recruiters built spreadsheets to keep track of the best of the best. These were their “Gems.” Steve and Nick knew that managing and nurturing relationships with top talent was soon going to require more than a spreadsheet. It was going to require software—built specifically for recruiters—that could automate tasks, track touchpoints, show pipeline views, and offer analytics for forecasting hires. They recognized recruiting teams deserved more than the piecemeal tools they currently had. That recognition was where Gem was born.

What over 700 Recruiting pros are prioritizing in 2023
What does the future hold for recruitment? No one has a crystal ball, but it’s important to keep a finger on the pulse of the industry and learn what your peers are thinking about and up to.
Gem surveyed nearly 700 seasoned talent acquisition professionals about their pain points, priorities, expectations, and initiatives for this year. We observed some key trends:
- Pipeline-building is the #1 activity talent teams are engaging in, in preparation for a market return
- The majority of talent teams utilize RecTech to measure success, and “best source of hire” is the #1 data point teams are tracking
- Diversity hiring takes the #1 place of talent team focus—though meeting diversity goals continues to be a challenge
- There’s a growing focus on recruitment marketing—and the tools to support it—to strengthen employer brand and optimize candidate experience
…and much more—on capacity planning, outbound recruiting, resource allocation, etc.
It’s time to better understand the broader recruiting landscape, assess your company’s place, and anticipate what may lie ahead. Read the report now.
