That’s it! You’re all set up.

Other ways you can use Gem + YC Work at a Startup

• If you’re browsing prospects on YC WaaS (who haven’t applied directly to a role), you can message them on the YC platform. If they reply as interested, you can export them as candidates to the recruiter screen stage (or whatever equivalent stage you have after the Application Review) for a specific job.
• If you’re browsing prospects on WaaS and want to sequence them through Gem (instead of using YC’s messaging tool), you can use the Gem Chrome extension to add them to a project. That project can be attached to a sequence, which can be attached to a job. If the candidate replies as interested, they’ll automatically appear in the job pipeline in Gem.
