Gem builds recruiting relationship management and talent engagement software used by in-house hiring teams. The company employs roughly 170 people and expanded its workforce by about one-fifth through 35 new hires while recording 13 departures. This steady growth reflects ongoing demand from employers looking to streamline sourcing and pipeline management without significant turnover pressures.
Engineering is Gem’s largest function with 56 employees, accounting for one-third of total headcount and underscoring the product-centric nature of the business. Sales and Support follows closely with 48 people, indicating a sizeable customer-facing presence that helps drive adoption of the platform. Supporting functions such as Marketing & Product (15), Business Management (15), and Finance & Administration (14) are similar in size, suggesting a balanced approach between go-to-market and operational capabilities. Smaller teams in Human Resources, Consulting, Operations, Information Technology, and Other roles round out the organization, giving Gem a diversified departmental structure for its stage of growth.
Gem is headquartered in San Francisco, where 87 employees—just over half of the company—are based. The remaining workforce is distributed across a mix of U.S. tech hubs and select international locations, including New York (11 employees), several cities in California such as San Mateo, Sunnyvale, and San Diego, and pockets of talent in Waterloo, Dallas, Austin, and Boston. An additional 55 employees are classified under "Other" locations, highlighting Gem’s embrace of distributed and remote work arrangements to access broader talent pools.
