Gem
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!

Honestly, I'm not using ZoomInfo because I have researchers who have their licenses to several platforms. So, I don't think I need it moving forward.

Cons
Gem
  • Gem's dashboards feature is still a work in progress. It's not incredibly intuitive and there aren't many ways to visualize data.
  • There are often discrepancies between what's in the ATS and what's in Gem and it requires troubleshooting.
  • It would be great if Gem could integrate with data from other sources such as LinkedIn Recruiter so we could see conversion rate data from there as well.

ZoomInfo
  • I think the data (emails and phone numbers) is only somewhat accurate.
  • Often there is company data missing that is important.
  • ZoomInfo doesn't provide phone support for free; you have to pay for phone support in addition to the platform.

It's ok. I don't think it's fabulous. Initially I purchased ZoomInfo Talent to replace LinkedIn Professional Recruiter. I found that I was still finding and connecting with more candidates and ultimately placing them using LinkedIn. I don't think it's an adequate substitute for LinkedIn RPS.

Alternatives Considered
Gem
Gem was able to allow more customization. We were able to see more into our current funnels. Easier to share and collaborate with others. Gem made email campaigns simpler and more customized. Gem took some of the LinkedIn inmail processes and automated them. Gem had better data and after some time got more accurate emails.

LinkedIn is a better recruitment program overall in my opinion. I like the InMail feature which seems to get far better results than emailing from ZoomInfo Talent.

  • Negative ROI for 2024. I found often the phone numbers, emails and current companies were not current.
  • It's a nice product to have as an add on.
  • I don't think training is great; I found it made more sense to hire someone to utilize my sourcing instead.
