Considered Both Products	ApplicantPro Verified User Anonymous Chose ApplicantPro I used Indeed.com at a former employer with similar success to ApplicantPro.

Sean Mackay, MHR, SPHR Senior Human Resources Manager Chose ApplicantPro ApplicantPro is super user friendly and pushes out to many free job sites. ApplicantPro is also easy to train managers on and the interface makes it easy to review applications quickly. Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Crosby Director of Human Resources \| Vice President Chose ApplicantPro We are just implementing UltiPro. It has an ATS module and does a lot of things equally well and some better. Applicant Pro is probably half the cost. Also, UltiPro requires an account with eQuest to post to state job boards and local job boards, this is an added cost. It … Incentivized Helpful? SH Sierra Hirschi HR Administrator Chose ApplicantPro ApplicantPro was the software the company was using when I got into the business. It was very easy to learn and I pick up on it fast.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Gem Gem is the most comprehensive we've seen so far in the industry. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Gem I haven't used any other product like Gem.

User Testimonials
	ApplicantPro	Gem
Likelihood to Recommend	I would have thought ApplicantPro would be good for lower level positions such as accounting clerks; however, I have not had much luck finding qualified applicants for these positions through ApplicantPro. I'm not sure if this has to do with a software or the current state of affairs in the US with COVID-19. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Gem is a in my opinion a necessity for any TA team in this market. It's no longer possible to be competitive with just LinkedIn - it's easy for candidates to lose those messages. Gem allows you to get noticed by candidates and stay competitive in this market!

Pros	Integration with BambooHR for when someone is hired Posting to a very wide variety of job boards Having job templates so you don't have to redo listings Incentivized Angela Heid Office/Purchasing Manager Read full review	He does great at the moment of follow up candidates. It has a great AI that helps to automatically leave the status of the candidate depending on their response. Save you a lot of time helping you to find the contact info of the candidate automatically. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	While Applicant Pro interfaces with many HRIS platforms to streamline onboarding, unfortunately this option is not available for us (though I'm not sure if that's Applicant Pro's fault or our HRIS provider's fault). Incentivized Sean Mackay, MHR, SPHR Senior Human Resources Manager Read full review	It would be nice I could send emails through Gem instead of following that process on Linkedin for candidates who do not have their email id. I would be nice it I am given an automated analysis of how my sequence did. Connecting it not only to LinkedIn but to other sites such as Github and Slack may improve the search scope to recruiters.

Return on Investment	Spotlighting applications to hiring managers has been very helpful. The @Notes feature is a great tool. Texting feature is great.

Our percentage of sourced hires has gone from 17% to 32@ We have seen stronger and more engaged candidates through email sequences than LinkedIn Recruiter InMails.
