Global manufacturer makes 49 critical hires in 90 days with Gem

Global Manufacturer, a 3,500+ employee organization headquartered in San Francisco, struggled with inconsistent workflows across talent teams, limited pipeline visibility, and no single source of truth for reporting. To standardize sourcing and inbound processes and gain better analytics and reporting, the company turned to Gem, using Gem’s Talent Sourcing & Outreach, Talent Compass, Pipeline Management, and Talent CRM.

Gem implemented a centralized talent engagement platform that standardized outreach and provided pipeline analytics and dashboards via Talent Compass, giving the team clear funnel visibility and resource allocation guidance. The results were measurable: 49 Gem-attributed hires in Q1 2023, Gem-attributed candidates nearly 3x more likely to convert from application to hire, 16,000+ messages sent with an 88.9% open rate and 36.7% reply rate, and a 69% year‑over‑year increase in interested reply rate — enabling Global Manufacturer to hire more predictably and move toward data-driven recruiting.
