Noon in brief
Noon is an agentic sourcing tool: you give it a role, it reads the requirements, searches across public and licensed data beyond LinkedIn, ranks candidates against the non-negotiables, verifies contact details, and drafts personalized email and SMS outreach that goes out once the recruiter approves. Replies flow back into the pipeline and synced ATSs. It suits teams that want throughput without adding sourcer headcount, and it is one of the few tools in the category whose unit of value is engaged candidates rather than database access.
Gem in brief
Gem started as a Chrome extension that captured LinkedIn profiles and automated email sequences; it has grown into a full recruiting CRM with talent pools, event workflows, AI sourcing, and the most-used pipeline analytics layer for Greenhouse and Lever customers. In 2025 it added its own ATS.
