We use iCIMS Talent Cloud for the entire organization from hiring hourly assembly workers through senior executives. We utilize it to standardize the hiring process across the organization as well as to ensure government compliance and that we are meeting all of our goals in the recruitment space. All of the tools in the system help us create a quality candidate experience.
  • Standard workflows
  • Reporting tools
  • Roles-based dashboards
  • iForms need to be mobile friendly and not appear to be a form
  • Text messaging seems to be blocked a lot
  • Personalized support
Now that iCIMS Talent Cloud has Jibe and Offer, it is a well-rounded talent suite. It needs to continue making improvements where all the products work together as a seamless system. I can tell it is bringing in tools as building blocks Simple things like being able to have the system send a text with the offer is a miss right now, but overall it is so much better than what we were doing previously and still best on offer!

iCIMS fully supports our large organization. We have a unique way of doing certain things and the way we can configure iCIMS is a benefit for us. They have been able to keep up with our growth over the past two years with little to no issues.

We use iCIMS to advertise our openings and receive applications. Beyond this iCIMS helps us capture useful information across our 21 locations. We are able to provide access to multiple user groups and allow for constant communication between candidates, recruiters and hiring managers.
  • Great customer service!
  • Very customizable.
  • Easy to use.
  • Great dashboard capabilities.
  • The mobile app does not reflect candidates we have viewed.
  • The invite to hiring managers for the mobile app is unnecessarily difficult.
  • Provide training just on reports after a few months of usage, as these can be difficult to create on your own.
Great for any size company.

We use iCIMS as our main recruiting tool. Also, our hiring managers would use it to review applications.
  • One-click job posting to all job aggregators
  • Easy integration with LinkedIn recruiter
  • Keep track of the sources of candidates
  • The mobile app connection with the website is not consistent.
  • Better dashboard presentation--hope we can download the graph in excel.
  • Hope the cover letter can be downloaded with the resumes together.
If you need to hire a large volume of roles, iCIMS can help you to send out the job postings to many job boards at once. They can track the source of the candidates. It saves a lot of administration time. You can send a mass message to multiple candidates and book the interview appointments with them.

iCIMS Talent Acquisition Software Suite is being used organization-wide to support the headcount requisitions, talent needs, and the full cycle selection process. iCIMS improves process management and interdepartmental communication and timeline tracking as well as managing KPI's and Metrics reporting.
  • Process timeline tracking and management
  • KPI/Metrics tracking
  • Communication management and tracking
  • Hiring Manager communications
  • There are areas in the databases that overlap, making reporting a bit harder to narrow down
  • The user interface does not always adjust well to different screens
  • The mobile app only works for hiring managers, approvers, not recruiters
As a corporate recruiter I do a lot of "little things" to be sure to protect and promote our corporate brand to candidates. I want everyone to work for my company! iCIMS makes this so much easier with templates and point/click processes that save me a lot of time and reduces areas where typo's can occur. My metrics have improved greatly since adding iCIMS. I didn't know what I was missing. I do now!

iCIMS is being used within my organization to help organize and manage job applicants across multiple roles. It provides an interface that helps hiring managers review candidates and decide whether or not to pursue a further interview. It also provides opportunity to send follow up and/or rejection communications from within the web app.
  • Organize candidates - iCIMS makes it easy for me to see who has applied for which roles, and to view resumes, cover letters etc.
  • Screen candidates- iCIMS offers the hiring manager the opportunity to pose screening questions to candidates. While these don't automatically weed out any candidates, their responses are easily viewed, and helps hiring managers get a better overall picture of the applicant.
  • Triage candidates - iCIMS makes it easy for a hiring manager to quickly triage candidates into "buckets" based on whether there is further interest in a candidate, or whether to reject a candidate.
  • Notifications - I can't believe in this day and age that I cannot configure iCIMS to automatically email me when I have a new applicant for a role. Instead, I have to go there every day and look to see if I have any new applicants.
  • Email - While iCIMS offers the opportunity to send follow up and/or rejection emails to candidates, the interface is clunky and sometimes does not work, especially if a candidate has provided an invalid email address - this brings down the whole email response feature.
  • Sharing Candidates - Despite using it for 2 years, I've yet to find a way to share a candidate to one of my peers for one of their open roles from within iCIMS.
iCIMS excels when triaging numerous applicants for a single job. It is very easy to quickly scan through multiple applicants and flag them for further follow up or reject them based on your personal criteria. Unfortunately, iCIMS is mediocre, at best, when it comes to the actual follow-up process with these candidates as the built-in email functionality is clunky and error prone.

iCIMS is currently being used by our Talent Acquisition team to manage our job postings on our career page and those applicants that apply to our jobs. We share candidates with our management team, we schedule interviews and process background checks through iCIMS.

iCIMS helps us stay organized as a team when it comes to the management of requisitions and candidates across the organization.
  • iCIMS makes it easy to manage our job postings on our website. We have multiple brands and we have separate web portals for each brand all housed in the same account.
  • iCIMS is easy to use whether it is on desktop, mobile or tablet. It's the ATS on the go that allows us to stay connected.
  • The ability for us to integrate our ATS with various vendors makes the process move fasted by not having to navigate between multiple systems.
  • The Account Management team at iCIMS is very responsive to our needs and want to make sure we are having a positive experience.
  • iCIMS could benefit from working with a few more vendors in allowing for integrations. We use a few resources that are not currently integrated and we have asked if they plan on working with these vendors in the future. Make sure you go though all your vendors when assessing iCIMS.
  • Reporting on iCIMS can be intense. There are so many variable that it can become overwhelming for someone the first few times. Training is available and I would recommend that to all new users.
iCIMS is a solid choice for lager enterprise-level organizations that want a very comprehensive ATS and it is priced accordingly. There is a discount for a multi-year deal. If you are a smaller organization that won't use the full functionality of a system like iCIMS there are other options to explore.

I consulted for a trucking company that did not have an ATS in place. NOTHING. They were big enough that we decided to implement a solution that would allow them to continue to grow. Their processes were clunky when they existed at all. This streamlined everything! We wanted something that was mobile friendly, friendly for the "non-recruiters" in the organization, with common sense searchability from both ends.
  • Integrates well with TONS of job boards
  • Amazing reports that are VERY user-friendly. You can track ANYTHING!
  • Great passive talent management
  • It's a "big" system. It takes some training.
  • Slow to load occasionally
  • It took us a while to be able to sort candidates effectively
  • Many processes are able to be utilized but difficult to do the first time
Great when you can train from the ground up. It's a beast. It takes some time to learn. If you have the resources to really have your team utilize all of the things it can do, you'll love it. If you're hoping for an overnight solution, this isn't the one for you.

iCIMS software is currently being used by the talent acquisition department at our organization although other areas touch the software as well. This software solves the problem of a recruitment platform. Prior to starting with my company they had no internal database or recruitment platform. I was astonished so we researched platforms and took demos and found that iCIMS fit our needs most.
  • Database for resumes, saves all resumes and information on candidates.
  • Templates for sending automatic emails to large populations. Saves a lot of time!
  • Easy to use and user-friendly.
  • Mobile version can be improved as well as mobile capabilities.
  • Auto-populating fields could save a lot of time. So parsing resumes.
  • More training demos.
Scenarios where this software is well suited would be in a recruitment setting or a talent team. We use it for recruiting and with our hiring managers daily to store our resumes and have a database for all information that runs through our team. It would be less appropriate in a smaller organization as you might not need such an expensive and detailed database.

We are no longer using iCIMS. We switched to a new ATS approximately 6 months ago. Before the switch, we used iCIMS for roughly over 2 years. We only used iCIMS in the recruiting department as our ATS. It solved the full cycle recruiting function at my organization.
  • iCIMS can provide extremely in-depth workflow stages to move candidates through to ensure real-time, accurate depiction of where candidates stand in the recruiting process.
  • iCIMS has the capability of providing customized, detailed reports based on client needs.
  • Communication with candidates through iCIMS is very detailed and user friendly. Building email templates and automating these functions is user friendly.
  • Visually, iCIMS is not appealing. It is overbearing at times with the dashboard. It is not the most streamlined display where the user has to go through various tabs and drop downs.
  • It functions less as a new aged, innovative ATS/CRM and more as a older system. I know their mobile capabilities are increasing but it is behind the times.
  • It is not a great function of engaging individuals once the move from candidate to employee. The more innovative ATS are now functioning as both the ATS and HRMS/HRIS, in the same platform. I think limiting these capabilities and requiring the employer to buy three different systems for Recruit, Social, and HR will deter.
How many recruiters do you have working out of the system? This would be great for more corporate, hierarchical organizations with multiple levels. It is not a good system for SMB market or startups where functionality, streamlined usability, and social recruiting/engaging employees is of high priority.

iCims is the sole candidate tracking application used companywide by Dolby who currently employes over 1500 employees and half as many contractors.
  • Great, customizable customer-facing UI!
  • Very good reporting features.
  • Great dashboards!
  • The admin UI can be counterintuitive at times. A bit dated.
  • Although a robust tool, iCims has somewhat of a learning curve as compared with its more contemporary competitors.
  • The search function does not seem to follow standard search parameters and feels limited.
Once trained, iCims is a great repository for pre-employment docs. It would be nice to have an onboarding module to complete the candidate-employee transaction.
