Hirebee.ai vs. ICIMS Hire

In our company we like Hirebee as the most easy to use ATS which has everything we need to organize our hiring process.

iCIMSis is really good in managing high-volume federal recruitment where visibility into each stage of the hiring process is essential. Changing candidate statuses (e.g., referred, interviewed, selected) provides clear insight into pipeline progress and helps coordinate across multiple hiring managers.

• Integration with Zoom, Outlook Calendar, job boards, and career page makes it easy to manage everything from Hirebee.ai.
• Nice workflows and email templates for automating talking to applicants, and easy interview scheduling with Zoom and Outlook Calendar integration.
• All of your candidate information is in one place, and all the actions you need to take to manage your recruitment process are also in one place.

• The opt-out message after the 1st text helps weed out the people who are not interested.
• Having the ability to have templates/answers to frequent questions saved and ready to use makes it easier/faster to talk to multiple people.
• Being able to schedule text campaigns is amazing. Every Saturday I set up my campaigns for the next week. This gives me more time to focus on other things.

Incentivized

• LinkedIn integration is missing for converting connections into applicants, but we’re doing great utilizing HireBee’s job board integrations, and HireBee compensates with a sourcing extension [that] works well with LinkedIn.
• Return on Investment
• Easy to schedule interviews with just one click.
• We save a lot of time on shortlisting due to workflows and feedback forms.
• Hirebee extension helps me a lot to convert candidates from LinkedIn to my dashboard.

• It is a little difficult to track internal applicants that are already active with our company.
• Some of the fields when hiring an employee are a little difficult to change.
• Not a sure way of identifying "eligible for rehire" within iCIMS for those that re-apply.

I would say that we are very likely to renew with iCIMS. They seem to continuously be improving their product based on the feedback from their clients. In addition, the thought have having to go through another implementation of this level is daunting and as long as the software continues to meet the business needs of the company and provides the appropriate level of support we will most likely stay. Costs regarding future renewals will also impact this decision and if necessary we will go to market to evaluate other options.

iCIMS was already in play by the time I moved into an executive role, but it made a significant impact in the 6 months from when I had previously done hiring using just emailed and printed applications, in my previous role as an HR Assistant. The ease of use was incredible. We had a full manual on how to use the system, but I felt, even as a first-time user, I didn't need to reference the manual much to navigate easily and figure out the system. As someone who likes to poke around in systems, I was able to comfortably get around and explore other functions with iCIMS.

There is always ample advance notice before the software goes down for maintenance and this is usually done at off-peak hours. As for system failures - I can't think of any that have effected us in over two years od use.

We can think of no dissatisfaction with our daily use of iCims, involving its response time to commands or incompatibility with any other software we presently use.

Before pandemic and iCIMS Talent Cloud acquisitions I would give 10 without a doubt. Unfortunately, I see a strong decrease in the support model, which seems to be mainly connected with the fact that acquired companies/tools/features need to be integrated with the platform, and knowledge of newly provided services and tools were not yet incorporated fully into the support.

I would say I believe iCims online training is very good. It's informative, visually appealing, and simple in explaining all the different aspects of iCims. I also really like the new candidate onboarding, and all the other training curricula you have up to be able to inform or send out to the candidate. I like you can attach a URL link for videos as well so you can really customize the training. I feel that overall, I would like to see more. Perhaps, more robust options with the training, if that's something iCims is expanding on in the future.

I wasn't involved with the implementation. It was before my time

We recently switched to Hirebee.ai from SmartRecruiters. Hirebee.ai gave us a similar platform with more features and advantages. With Hirebee.ai, we can easily post jobs to many job boards and track our candidates with effective tools.

Fully available automation, lesser bad data quality, more information is gathered at the time of applicant profile creation without having the need to ask for any follow ups or additional notifications. Integrates better with Oracle, Workday and SAP than other similar systems. Service tickets are resolved faster than other vendors we worked with.

iCims is currently pretty good and the best TAS for us at our stage of growth - but further improvement and enhancements will only help make it even better.

• I will continue using Hirebee because that's really what we need in our hiring.
• We save our time by automating the whole recruitment.

• We implemented iCIMS Talent Cloud right before the pandemic. The pandemic created the most difficult recruitment environment ever. I cannot say that iCIMS Talent Cloud has helped us realize any advantageous success in this battle we are fighting. It gets the job done, but we have realized anything like filling jobs faster or having resources within iCIMS Talent Cloud to allow us to attract candidates differently. Status quo, I guess.
