Gem (Formerly ZenSourcer) - The Platform for Modern Recruiting

Hi everyone, I’m Nick, the cofounder of ZenSourcer. We’re excited to be on Product Hunt today launching ZenSourcer — the first email automation product built for sourcers. We’re currently in private beta and will let anyone in from Product Hunt -- complete the form, mention you're from Product Hunt, and we'll send you instructions on how to access the beta. The best recruiting teams understand that it’s no longer sufficient to wait for applicants — they need to proactively source and build relationships with talent over time. While recruiters have advanced tools like Lever and Greenhouse to track applicants, sourcers have to cobble together 6 or 7 tools to manage their outreach (including spreadsheets!). ZenSourcer combines these tools into one product, which means less copy/pasting between different tabs, never dropping the ball on followups, and analytics so you can see what’s working. More specifically, here’s what ZenSourcer does: - A chrome extension that lets you build up lists of people to reach out to alongside LinkedIn where you source. - Captures important candidate information from a LinkedIn profile (without scraping!), finds personal email, and aggregates social media profiles. - ZenSourcer sequences help you reach out at scale and automate your followups without sacrificing personalization. - Email tracking (replies, views, and link clicks) at the recipient level and for each sequence so you can know what works. - For teams of sourcers, ZenSourcer tracks every reachout, which means that companies won’t reach out to the same person multiple times. We’d love to hear your thoughts about what we’re building with ZenSourcer, so feel free to comment or email founders@zensourcer.com.

It's been really helpful so far, looking forward to seeing where it goes

Pros:

Easy to use, a lot less copy-pasting, helps me optimize response rate

Cons:

I wish it supported lever!

Correct me if I'm wrong but how does this stop me from using it to get leads? It seems to offer everything you'd look for in a tool that would allow you to do LinkedIn outreach for sales.. Don't get me wrong, I think that's awesome. Just wondering why you choose recruiting as the angle.

Literally been sourcing candidates all day, using Hunter just to save profiles, and then HolaConnect to find personal emails, and then importing into Quickmail for drip campaigning. Damn. Would love to test this out @nbushak @sbartel

- integrates neatly with Gmail and LinkedIn

- I love the visual part of ZenSourcer; easy to follow up tables and charts

Pros:

gets me super productive; great for sending followup; saved me a lot of time

Cons:

no support for outlook yet

Are you guys doing anything with natural language processing? Might be useful to analyze people's responses, or quickly see if the copy you wrote is positive or negative. If you are, you should check out https://machinebox.io/docs/textbox - its really easy to deploy (Dockerized) and just start using right away.

Sourcing management has always been challenging and the Bay Area job market requires very fast reponses. ZenSourcer saves time and makes the sourcing less stressful.

Pros:

- neat productivity and sourcing management tool

- well design UI (function are where you would expect)

Cons:

- becomes addictive

- Only supports Chrome.

Great for running email campaigns and tracking message open rate, link clickthrough and response rate.

Still early in development, lots of room to grow and enhance. But great for getting up and running with campaigns.

Pros:

Good for campaigns to candidates (prospects)

Cons:

N/A

I really like using Zensourcer. It's quick, easy to use and gets results. Improves the overall efficiency of my recruiting process.

Pros:

Tool is helpful in automating the more tedious aspects of candidate sourcing, allowing me and my team to focus on the more important things.

Pros:

Great ATS integration, intuitive UI, seamless automation, great customer service.

Cons:

None that detract from my experience with the tool
