ICIMS seemed some-what difficult to use at first, but my team has adapted well to it. At first, it didn't seem very user-friendly, but through trial and error, we have developed some tips and tricks. I do like the reporting features, which make it easy to pull numbers and data from our recruiting efforts.
Pros
ICIMS has great add-on features, such as TextRecruit that make it convenient and easy to interact with candidates. Adding candidates into ICIMS is very easy and user-friendly. It's also awesome that it has a dashboard on the front page, which makes for easy access to current candidate data.
Cons
I wish ICIMS had more appeal, design wise. It's very bland looking compared to other recruiting software I have used before.

We first chose this software because it was more competitive and more user friendly than our previous ATS. As the years have past, the customizable features to make it work for any industry and the reporting capability is why we have continued to renew. The Help Desk team is extremely responsive and don't make you feel stupid for asking a question.
Pros
We like the ease of use for job seekers, administrators and Hiring Managers. The customer service in the Help desk is excellent as well.
Cons
The reporting is so robust, it can be daunting to figure it out. Once you get the hang of it, you realize the possibilities are endless.

I love using ICims for recruitment. Also, the fact that multiple users can see the same job requisitions is a plus especially when you have a large team.
Pros
This product is easy to use and helps me track applicants. Love that you can see how many other applications the candidate has submitted.
Cons
Wish there were functions to rate candidates for recruitment (for those that re-apply after being turned away).

There are a lot of ATS systems out there. Look for a good one that can grow with your company. ICIMS charges for everv new technology they put out there, social media, website upgrades. They bank on you being captive since it is difficult to migrate to a new system.
Pros
ICIMS is a very robust system and has alot of capabilities, add-ons and overall functionality. It is highly configurable and allows you to add custom fields. There is a reporting feature that allows you to select specific report data and save the report for future. Additionally, libraries will store your requisitions, and other position information for easy reference through foldering capabilities. Tracks email communication through your outlook system, to capture both sides of the email conversation. Additionally, they have a lot of pre-recorded training and webinars to get to learn the system.
Cons
They didn't have a direct feed through Indeed and our positions were picked up randomly and after several days. Additionally, requisitions are difficult to post, show up with multiple fonts (even after various attempts at editing, which is a poor representation of your company.) ICIMS is very difficult for EEO/AAP reporting. Our standard reports didn't work well for this at all. Customer service is very hit or miss, some are really great, and others don't know the system at all. Account representatives are the same way, we just left them, due to their lack of interest to help us update the system set up after 10 years of use. There are alot of custom programming required to implement changes, and they didn't implement updates with the new DOL requirements. We had to ask for the new EEO forms for VEVVRA and Disability reporting requirements.

this has made response time from candidates so much faster which can be crucial at times. And often candidates don't want to respond on their work email, but CAN respond on their personal phone via text. This is a very valuable tool
Pros
this is a great feature for getting fast responses from candidates, especially when they can't respond by email
Cons
sometimes it doesn't sync with their icims candidate profile so you have to log in to the actual product web page

iCIMS is a feature-packed talent acquisition software that aims to simplify the way modern recruiters attract, screen, and onboard top talents in their fields. Equipped with a comprehensive tool suite to recruit, connect with, and transition applicants to new hires, iCIMS enables organizations to systematically track the talent acquisition lifecycle in a single system.
Designed with the recruiter’s unique needs in mind, iCIMS combines real-time requisition performance reporting with modern recruiting tools that include social job post distribution and job board postings, so recruitment is less time-consuming and more efficient. Some of the app’s core features include iCIMS Recruit, iCIMS Connect, iCIMS Onboard, and its attracting and screening tools.
As the war for top talent becomes increasingly intense, HR departments and recruiting professionals are moving towards a more streamlined recruiting process versus old methods where numerous documents, files, folders, and spreadsheets are needed to accurately pinpoint the best possible candidates for an open job position.
And then, there’s the similarly important new hire onboarding process that can potentially strengthen or cut short a new employee’s ties with the company, depending on how they’re treated on their first day on the job. It’s no surprise, therefore, that an all-in-one applicant tracking system like iCIMS is growing in popularity.
iCIMS’ numerous tools reside in one centralized hub, so information access and review is faster and easier, allowing recruiters to engage the right candidates and ultimately hire the right people for the right jobs.
iCIMS Recruit is a configurable and easy-to-use solution that allows recruiting professionals to optimize their hiring processes and choose the most fitting candidates from a pool of qualified applicants. iCIMS Recruit carries a dashboard that consolidates everything – calendars, tasks, appointments, applicant files, reports, communications, and more – in a single screen.
Other features that make iCIMS Recruit a vital component of the hiring process are key metrics, candidate management, searches, role-based user assignments, job management, career portal, and reporting.
There are two types of job hunters - those that are proactively looking for a new career opportunity and those that are looking around but aren’t yet ready to take the plunge, also called passive candidates. Passive candidates may not be your target group for currently open positions, but nurturing relationships with them can reap dividends for your company in the long run.
This is where iCIMS Connect steps in. iCIMS Connect is a recruitment marketing automation system that aims to engage passive candidates who are open to exploring career opportunities with your company in the future. It communicates job opportunities and career paths with them, among other things, to keep them interested in a position with your organization when the time is right.
This all begins with the candidate clicking on a “Not ready to apply?” option where they’re taken to a branded and mobile-friendly portal that connects them with your company through a traditional resume or social media account. A login is created for them so they can go back to the portal at any time.
You don’t want to give your new hires the wrong impression about the company on their first day on the job, especially since it’s only natural for them to expect the same level of attention they received during the recruitment phase.
Coupled with iCIMS Recruit, iCIMS Onboard makes it easy for the hiring department to transition recruits from applicants to new hires. Administrative functions are facilitated through auto-populated employee fields and task suggestions. New hires are then invited to log in to an onboarding portal where they can update their profile information, complete forms, familiarize themselves with company policies, and so on.
The iCIMS Onboard reporting functionality generates high-level reports on the new hires’ task completion statuses. Where tasks aren’t yet completed, the system automatically sends out reminders.
To hire the best people in your field, you have to attract the best possible candidates. To reach out to the best, you have to be where they are. iCIMS is equipped with various business tools to help you do just that. The iCIMS Social Distribution tool allows organizations to instantaneously connect to scores of potential candidates by allowing their employees to automatically post and share new job openings with their social networks.
iCIMS also has a pre-built integration with JobTarget’s OneClick Job Distribution tool, which saves companies tons of time through automated job postings to over 14,000 online job boards. The iCIMS Career Site SEO tool enhances your career sites’ search visibility so you get the attention of candidates looking for jobs via the search engines.
To further simplify the screening process, the iCIMS Video Screening tool enables candidates to upload a short personal video using the webcam on their computer or mobile device, explaining why they’re the best fit for a job position. Recruiters and hiring managers review the uploaded videos to help them decide who advances to the next phase of the hiring process.
Also, the iCIMS I9 and E-Verify tools ensure hiring professionals don’t unnecessarily expend time and energy screening and interviewing applicants who may ultimately be unable to render service to their company because of employment eligibility issues (e.g., foreigners without the required work permits), among others.
Aside from a REST API that developers can use to make information flow between iCIMS and their current business systems more seamless, iCIMS integrates with 125+ apps like SAP, ADP, Kronos, Ceridian, Paychex, Oracle, Orange Tree, PeopleAnswers, PeopleSoft, Kenexa, Workday, and EmployeeScreenIQ.
The iCIMS pricing model is subscription-based and the dollar value depends on the final product that’s customized according to your company’s unique applicant tracking needs.
