They are usually very helpful. There has only been a handful of times they could not assist. Their email response time is pretty slow but I have always received great phone support. They are very knowledgeable and usually look for additional answers and solutions even after the call has ended.

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.

Let me begin by saying the implementation phase was PHENOMENAL! Katie was our support manager and she was outstanding. The process was cumbersome and time-consuming, but she was outstanding and knowledgeable. That process gets a 9/10 for sure. However, between multiple account manager changes (and no notification) and being promised functionality that doesn't exist, and not hearing back when we reach out to support or open a ticket, the process has been really disappointing since implementation. We do have a new rep who has reached out to introduce himself, and we are optimistic that our experience will improve considerably after that meeting.

I have only had to contact support one time. This was back when the phone number format glitch was causing phone numbers to change when they were uploaded. Support immediately responded to my issue, they had a workaround ready to go, and quickly corrected the problem so I no longer needed the workaround.

We used to have the best support and it was one of the reasons we were so loyal to iCIMS. We then started seeing quite a bit of turnover and restructuring of how support would be delivered. Even still we were loyal. The final straw for us is the fact that it has now devolved to the point where we literally haven't heard from anyone in months despite us reaching out for assistance.

We did not have an Account Manager to help support our needs during high demand for close to 5 months, and we didn't have a clear answer or assistance during the 5-month gap.

Support with iCIMS Talent Cloud [I feel] is very disappointing. Your choice is submitting a ticket online which is convenient when you are busy, but in the long run, it doesn't save you any time. It feels like it takes about a week for someone to respond and when they do they are asking more questions so then there are a few more days for your response and then theirs. So that goes on for a while. So you could call in and then you wait 20 minutes on hold before they pick which as recruiter delays doing anything else since your job is practically mostly spent on the phone. [In my experience] This absolutely needs improvement. I spoke with someone last summer and was promised more people would be hired. I have not seen a dramatic improvement. Thankfully I don't need to rely on them as much as I once did. But when I do, it is usually something that needs quick attention.

Overall the customer service with iCIMS Talent Cloud is very good. Support is given through an online ticket system or via a call center. I also recently had a very good experience with my most recent Customer Success Manager as we met on a monthly basis to address any issues or upcoming products. I found this personalized support extremely helpful.

The technical support is great. I call them all of the time and always receive help. Regarding CSM support, there is really so little. Everyone spends all of their time trying to sell us things instead of helping us use what we have.

It has changed a lot over time. I would call iCIMS Talent Cloud's current level of support OK but not great. Why? Because it was great and somehow they managed to downgrade that experience over time to the point where it can take up to 2 or more hours to get someone on the phone if you wait on hold, if you ask them to call you back it can take 8 or more hours, and if you just submit a help ticket it can take 2-3 days or more before you issue is addressed. My hope is they get back to the individual level of support again in the future because I should not have to wait 2 days to get something fixed when it is a 10 minute job.

Support is offered throughout implementation through a dedicated Implementation Manager. Support after go-live has been responsive and knowledgeable. iCIMS also offers a huge user-searchable knowledge base which includes articles, training videos, and guides to solve many common support questions.

We have too many people we're working with who don't see the whole picture and when we reach out to tech support, it takes too long to hear back. We have worked with a couple of great people (who both left) and are just starting to work with a new person who can hopefully help pull all the disparate pieces together for us.

Our account manager, Alim, is wonderful and when tickets are not taken care of, he steps in and helps us with it. He responds quicker than the ticketing system.

That being said, the iCIMS associate that does respond is always knowledgeable and helps us with the issue but if it is something that takes further action or research, we do not get the ticket closed for a couple of weeks.

The support team is absolutely amazing but it takes forever and there are wild hoops to jump through to get the support you need. It's unfortunate when you're the system admin and a lot of these issues are time-sensitive.
