Pros

“We found the CRM piece robust and were able to set up our system and dashboards for ultimate efficiency, but there was a definite learning curve, and your team will need to go the extra mile with setup to utilize it to its full potential.”
LC

“Integrations can be setup to other vendors and you can proxy in as users.”
AB

Cons

“There is no single reason i can say i did not like about icims... maybe sometimes having duplicate profiles created causes an issue until integration we can't know regarding the duplicate profile.”

“Instead I have to spend more time scrolling the list to find what is needed.”
SB

Stephanie B.

Human Resource Lead

“While iCIMS was a very powerful tool, it was not super user-friendly.”
LC

Lisa C.

Talent Acquisition Manager

Cons

“More transparency on PDRs, we have a hard time tracking the status of the PDR submitted, we have to ask for updates every time, I wish there is a portal/dashboard we can track it by the PDR number.”
XL

Xin L.

HRIS Coordinator

“The system is not user friendly: Unnecessary separation of tabs and information, unhelpful AI bot, uneducated (and sometimes) unresponsive Support Team, constant unnecessary and unhelpful updates, numerous glitches in the system, etc.”
LS

Lauren S.

HR Coordinator and Recruiter

“We have experienced several challenges with Paylocity, including occasional inaccuracies in time-off accruals and balance transfers, incompatibility with employees in American Samoa which requires manual work, and improperly configured EDI.”
