What is AI Sourcing?
AI Sourcing in Gem helps talent teams find the highest quality prospects all in one place, without ever having to leave Gem. Using a combination of powerful filters and innovative AI-powered qualifications, AI Sourcing revolutionizes traditional sourcing to curate a pipeline of the best possible prospects.
Start a new search
You can start a new AI Sourcing search by going to the AI Sourcing page in Gem, then clicking ‘New Search’.
After selecting a corresponding Job for the search, if applicable, you’ll be asked to define a talent pool for the search.
Define the talent pool
The “talent pool” is the set eligible profiles that Gem AI will consider for your search. Using the filters provided, provide any hard requirements such as past experience, job titles, location, or education that all profiles must have. You can provide as many or as few as you would like; prospects whose profiles do not match these filters will not be considered.
Note that Gem AI can only score so many candidates, so if your pool is too large (>20k+), you may see more candidates that aren’t a good fit. Be as specific as you can without overly narrowing the pool.
After defining the talent pool, you will provide criteria to Gem AI for scoring your prospects.
For more details on filters best practice, see Gem AI Sourcing: Filters Best Practices.
Provide qualifications
These criteria are single-line statements about your ideal profile, similar to what you might have in a job description or online post for the job. Gem AI will score prospects in your talent pool based on how their profile meets these criteria, and we’ll present you with the best-scoring prospects. For suggestions and best practices, see Gem AI Sourcing: Scoring Criteria Best Practices.
Activate your search
Once your criteria are created, you can name your search and activate it. Gem AI will begin finding profiles from your selected talent pool and evaluating their profiles based on your criteria. You’ll have high match profiles to review as soon as the next day.
Review results
Once that process is complete, you will be able to begin reviewing prospects. To do so, click on the Start Reviews button for your search on the AI Sourcing page.
To the left of the display, you’ll see the profiles in the result, presented in order by how well they scored against your criteria.
For the selected prospect, you’ll see their profile in the center of the screen, including how Gem AI scored them against the criteria you provided.
Finally, you’ll see the Gem Extension on the right. The sidebar allows you take actions like you’re used to in Gem, and also allows you to mark a prospect as a ‘Yes’, ‘No’, or ‘Maybe’. You can use this to disposition prospects quickly and move on to the next one.
For more details on the search process, see Gem AI Sourcing: Intake, and for details on reviewing and profiles, see Gem AI Sourcing: Review Talent Profiles.
