iCIMS vs Workday HCM

• iCIMS is a very flexible platform that allows us to do most configurations in-house to meet our needs.
• iCIMS support is available almost always, and comes at no additional charge.
• New releases happen frequently to allow constant adaptation to changes in the marketplace.

• Since it is cloud based, it does not have version control issues (e.g. get 10 years behind on versions that are no longer supported), or the need for constant upgrades. This is completed behind the scenes.
• The flexibility of Workday HCM implementation and then taking it to day to day operations was superior. You can then blow and out and start using other system cababilities when ready.
• To enter the system, we must use multi-factor authentication for additional security of employee data. A user downloads their reports and then they are shown in their archive of work transactions and history.

• We've had changes to our account managers that have been confusing. We lost our months ago and still have not been assigned a new one. They are very helpful as they take the time to understand how you use the system and ways to make it even better.
• Reporting is overwhelming.
• Searching is cumbersome. Sometimes I just want to look up a phone number who called me, but I can't because of the formatting.

• This is very specific, but I wish there was a way to search by a field and see which reports are using that field. For example, if I want to see how many direct reports each of our managers have. I know I have a field called "Number of Direct Reports" but I can't remember which reports I have used that field in, so I end up having to create a brand new report.
• I do wish some of the larger reports would run faster. I sometimes end up having to come back later to get the results.
• The formatting of email notifications could be better. They come in plain text emails which are hard to read.

• It's given us the data we need to satisfy stakeholders within the company.
• Reporting limitations have required us to invest in external systems to compile and visualize that data.
• System limitations force us to create out-of-system processes for certain functions, requiring an increase in headcount.
• We have a reliable source-of-truth we can point to for Talent Acquisition functions.

• Gave us almost 4 hours per HR rep back on new hire day 1. We have a start date every 4 weeks and the manual entry of paperwork that was able to be eliminated with Workday has allowed us to put more HR reps in the classroom to aid with more important day 1 tasks.
• Simplified search - the backend information is now housed in a simple database that allows me to pull with employee first or last name, or user ID.
• We paid more for this solution, but we've seen a 33% increase in employee interaction since doing so.
