Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Pros

“The bulk export functionality was particularly valuable when multiple recruiters worked on the same role, as it allowed us to divide profiles clearly and prevent duplicated sourcing work. Although I preferred manual searches over its AI functionality, I could see the AI search being useful for less experienced recruiters or simpler assignments.”

Flavia C.

Senior Recruiter

“I used SeekOut for approximately two years, primarily for candidate sourcing rather than outreach.”

Flavia C.

Senior Recruiter

“The interface is intuitive and easy to learn.”

Flavia C.

Senior Recruiter

Pros

“The next step was to review several on-demand webinars before another targeted session could be scheduled.”

Anthony S.

CPO

“Gem has provided us with improved reporting capabilities and enabled us to effectively manage recruiting campaigns.”

Gedion B.

Customer Manager

“The tool can definitely be improved to improve the sourcer/recruiter experience but I'm glad GEM is part of our sourcing workflow!”

Mathieu L.

Recruiter

Cons

“SeekOut was expensive, and the cost was prohibitive for a smaller company such as the one I worked at. ”

Flavia C.

Senior Recruiter

“I also did not find the AI search particularly useful for my own work.”

Flavia C.

Senior Recruiter

“Sometimes it can take a while to load when I've entered in several filters.”

Melissa W.

Recruiter

Cons

“It is on the expensive side, especially since you still need another tool for actual sourcing.”

Cynthia B.

Talent Acquisition Team Lead

“Sometimes the plug-in can be a bit buggy and unusuableSometimes candidate first and last names don;'t auto-populateI wish there was a clearer distinction (or I better understood) why to use Gem projects vs. LinkedIn RecruiterGiven how expensive LinkedIn Recruiter is and how tight the economy is at the moment, I wish there were more features and/or product design choices that make Gem a tool that can offer significant value even when not paired with a LinkedIn Recruiter seat ”

Samuel V.

Recruitment Manager

“In 2021 product was good But in 2022 the product went completely downhill following mass layoffs Account Management is unreachable, and customer support do not understand the productUser Account can be terminated at any point with no explanation Over 100,00 candidates lost Millions of dollars in potential deals down the drain”
