Anthony: I'm Anthony, senior HR business partner. Our organization has 80,000 employees and I give iCIMS five rating. Prior to iCIMS, we had PeopleSoft as our applicant tracking system and PeopleSoft had some limitations in terms of resume search. Having iCIMS allows you to optimize your candidate search and manage candidates more quickly and appropriately, and candidates have a better candidate experience. iCIMS is a great tool. It has a great user interface both for the talent acquisition recruiter, the hiring manager, as well as prospective applicants. It allows you to engage with candidates even if you don't have an open position, which it allows you to keep your pipeline warm. iCIMS Is very easy to set up both as an initial tool for an applicant tracking system or to migrate data from your previous applicant tracking system or your HRMS system for your talent acquisition needs. It's easy to use. It is a platform that is pretty quick for hiring managers and recruiters to get used to and use effectively immediately. Anyone who decides to use iCIMS as an applicant tracking system and as a candidate management pool, I would suggest also adding on SkillSurvey. And when you have SkillSurvey coupled with iCIMS, it allows you to conduct references for prospective candidates and your time to fill will decrease in a expeditious manner. So anyone who is considering iCIMS, I would suggest having an add-on with SkillSurvey to optimize both your candidate experience as well as your time to fill.

Donald: Yes, I'm Donald. I work with Gardner-Webb University as a standardized patient, and I would rate the ADP software with the five stars out of five stars. The previous software that was being used, it wasn't as quick and easy as the ADP. It was outdated, and so people were having trouble getting everything submitted for hours, and so there was an issue with just the software not really being updated frequently that we had. So, ADP was something that was being updated frequently and was easier to use than the old software. We chose ADP Workforce software because it was something that had great reviews, it was being used by other companies, and we did some research on it to figure out that the ADP was being reviewed very well, and that it seemed to be a decent program that could provide everything we needed as far as being able to submit the times, being able to keep track of the different people that were working and that. So, it seemed to me more convenient, have great reviews, and was being used by a lot of other companies based on searches done on the ADP software. It's very easy for it to be integrated. Once it was set up, then we were able to access it very quick and easy. The information provided and the app itself was easy to fall along with and didn't take very long for everybody to get adjusted and acclimated to it. I highly recommend ADP Workforce. I think it would be great for others to use because of easy access, navigation is great. It's something that doesn't have a lot of issues like troubleshooting problems. It seems to function very well, and I've not had any issues with it. So, I definitely recommend that. I'd say the others should use it for the ease of access and the functioning of it.
