Superposition vs. Gem
Gem makes you a better recruiter. Superposition replaces the recruiter.
Gem is a great CRM, if you have a recruiter to run it
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
Gem is a recruiting CRM. It organizes your pipeline, automates follow-ups, and makes outreach sequences easy. It's a genuinely useful tool for a recruiting team.
But Gem doesn't source for you. It doesn't write personalized outreach, research candidates, or make judgment calls. You still need a recruiter to run it. At a pre-seed or seed-stage startup, that recruiter is you.
If you don't have hours a week to operate a recruiting CRM, Gem becomes shelfware. You need outcomes, not tooling.
How Superposition is different
Agent, not CRM
Superposition sources, researches, and reaches out, autonomously. You don't operate the tool. You review its work.
Personalized, not templated
Gem sequences are templates with merge tags. Our outreach is written per-candidate, referencing their actual work.
Outcome-priced, not seat-priced
Gem charges per seat whether you place anyone or not. We charge $500/agent/month plus success fee on placement.
Right-sized for 2-30 person teams
Gem is built for recruiting teams. Superposition is built for founders without one.
Questions.
Answered.
Gem is a recruiting CRM and outreach platform built for recruiting teams. It makes sequences, pipeline and analytics work well for people whose job is recruiting.
Almost always because there is nobody to operate it. A CRM makes a recruiter faster; it does not do the sourcing, writing or screening for a team that has no recruiter.
Yes, and teams with a recruiter often do. The agent handles sourcing and first touch, and the recruiter keeps their CRM for pipeline and relationship management.
Different shapes. A CRM is a per-seat subscription regardless of output; the agent is a monthly fee per active search plus a success fee on a hire.
