Overall Satisfaction with iCIMS Talent Cloud
We use iCIMS Talent Cloud to facilitate recruiting and onboarding across our organization.
- Highly customizable based on the unique needs of our organization.
- Really like the Text Engagement feature - has greatly improved communication.
- Lots of integrations with platforms we use, like reference check and background check systems.
- While corporate administrators can manage many functions, there are still a LOT of legacy systems that require you to submit a ticket, await a response for updates/changes.
- The new version of iCIMS Talent Cloud that's in the process of being rolled out is lacking certain features that we use regularly. Use of the new version is optional, and we've been told those features will be added over time.
- There's a high level of turnover among account managers/technical leads, and while we've enjoyed everyone we've worked with, constantly having to teach our contacts the way we do things is challenging.
- Text Engagement has saved substantial time, especially in scheduling interviews, managing background checks and other general engagement.
- Integration with PeopleSoft is generally helpful and a time saver, though it has a lot of flaws.
- More and more, iCIMS Talent Cloud is breaking out individual components of its service, resulting in lots of different charges in order to have a comprehensive resource. For a non-profit, every dollar matters, so increasing costs do matter.
In my past job, I used PeopleSoft as both our ATS and HRIS. At my current employer, we use PeopleSoft as the HRIS and iCIMS Talent Cloud as the ATS. I greatly prefer the application management features of iCIMS Talent Cloud as well as the increased level of customization. However, there was a lot of setup and ongoing maintenance involved with that kind of platform. I know that's not everyone. For those who want a faster setup, simpler processes, or with more basic needs, you might consider other platforms.
