This Week in Rec Tech is Sponsored by Rejobify.com Gem, a software platform for modern recruiting, today announced it has raised a $37 million Series B investment led by Greylock with participation from existing investor Accel, to double down on product innovation. This brings the total capital raised by Gem to $48 million.

Despite this effort, there’s been no way for teams to track and manage all their work before Gem’s all-in-one recruiting platform.  “With Gem, our customers can build relationships with talent, ultimately filling open roles faster. The strong word-of-mouth growth among recruiters helped contribute to 4X revenue growth in 2019, and our best quarter yet in 2020,” said Steve Bartel, Co-Founder and CEO of Gem. “With this latest investment, we’re thrilled to continue expanding Gem’s product to help our customers meet their hiring goals, including through our newest feature, Diversity Analytics.”  Gem’s platform integrates with LinkedIn, email, and customers’ Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Its Chrome extension allows recruiters to source, get visibility into the entire history of a prospect’s interactions with team members, personalize messages, and schedule automated follow-ups—all without ever leaving a LinkedIn profile. Gem’s CRM gives talent acquisition leaders data about their teams’ performance, allowing them to better plan for, and achieve, their hiring objectives. With Pipeline Analytics, teams can measure things like time-to-hire for a particular role in a specific geography, or understand how many candidates they need in every stage of the funnel in order to meet their hiring goals. ## Jobcase, Inc., provider of a social platform dedicated to empowering and advocating for workers, has announced a significant new capital investment, with Providence Strategic Growth (PSG) acquiring a majority stake and Workday Ventures participating as a strategic investment partner.  The investment includes $30 million of primary capital to accelerate Jobcase’s product development, member services, and employer partnerships.
