Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilized iCIMS Talent Cloud for our entire Applicant Tracking and offer letter process. This allowed us to manage multiple job reqs at multiple locations throughout our organization and assign various job reqs and job postings to various in-house recruiters within the organization. We also utilized the technology for reporting on our Recruiting function, including candidates that had applied and how they transitioned throughout the entire process.

Pros and Cons

Easy to attach documents throughout various stages of the hiring process, i.e., benefit guides, onboarding documents, privacy agreements
Job req creation was easy once job descriptions were saved into the system
Easy to track communication sent to the candidates

The system requires you to recreate new job postings in order to refresh job boards
The reporting functions can be limited to standard reports, and customization can be challenging

Most Important Features

Reporting

Return on Investment

Alternatives Considered

ADP Workforce Now, Lever and BerniePortal

iCIMS Talent Cloud is well-thought out with opportunities to manage candidates in process for larger organizations. It also partners well with job boards for ease in job posting. ADP WFN decreased our # of candidates unnecessarily because of the required login. BerniePortal is great and simple to use. Wonderful for small teams. Lever is built out with the ability to partner with other technologies that can improve sourcing capabilities.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think this is a great tool for larger organizations where there will be large teams of people that need to access the data at any given moment. It provided a good location that was easy to read, where we all knew what was happening with any given candidate or job posting at any given time. This allowed for ease of communication, especially when a Recruiter is working in the corporate office and the hiring manager may be several states away. I think iCIMS Talent Cloud is more than is needed for smaller groups/teams. Also, iCIMS Talent Cloud has good reporting tools, but it is not robust enough to dig into data in ways that are not standard to their system.
