### "Fantastic, the ease of the product and engaging with candidates immediately has saved us time."

March 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ease, there is very little ramp-up time to learn how to use the product. Instead of continuing to cold call candidates who do not want to hear from us we are able to focus on those who are currently interested in hearing about our opportunities and get them moving along in the interview process. We love our TextRecruit!

Cons

It would be great with the integration of the ATS, if once the text message is sent that it would auto-populate in the Notes section of the candidate record.

Thanks for the feedback Michelle! We'll pass on the auto-population feedback.

### "Great Customer Service and Ease of Use For All Users! "

August 26, 2015

5.0

Pros

The usability is very intuitive, for both the applicant/new hire and the recruiter/hiring manager. The releases are relevant to the industry and recommendations from clients. BUT the customer service is by far their best attribute!

Cons

Right now, there isn't anything I don't like. They recently added a search feature within a job for hiring managers, which was a pain point for them when managing a lot of candidates.

### "Thank you icims!"

April 24, 2017

5.0

Pros

\- Extremely customizable (dashboard view) - Many ATS updates and added features - Very quick, responsive and supportive customer service team

Cons

\- Unable to easily see when candidates have been sent a message - Not as visually pleasing as other ATS are (older interface) - Statistics can be hard to pull since not many templates exist

### "Best Recruiting Software"

February 25, 2020

5.0

Overall my experience has been very positive. There are minor tweaks I'd like to see, but overall it's A+ software.

Pros

I was recently promoted to hiring manager at my office level and started using iCIMS recruit software. Everything is easy to use and saves me tons of time. I'm easily able to sort through candidates and reject or progress a group of candidates at once.

Cons

No cons so far. If I could change anything, it would be the to add in feature to let me do a side by side comparison of two candidates.

### "iCIMS: A User-Friendly ATS"

November 6, 2014

5.0

Pros

iCIMS is a very user-friendly product. Someone with no experience in ATS systems could quickly learn how to use iCIMS. It's also a one-stop shop, providing various aspects necessary to source, communicate with, and hire candidates. It is an excellent recruitment resource! Being that we are regulated by the OFCCP, it is important that we have accurate documentation of our hires. iCIMS allows us to do that. As a vendor, iCIMS is also very strong. When our needs change, they are willing to listen and discuss options or develop solutions. Their help desk is also very knowledgeable and timely in their responses. I have met and worked with iCIMS for eight years. They are extremely professional and have excellent customer service skills.

Cons

We do wish it spoke with Oracle more easily, which would provide a more efficient and consistent work environment.

### "One of my favorite recruiting platforms for sure!!"

December 17, 2018

5.0

This is perfect for mid size and larger companies.

Pros

Ease in creating and posting open jobs and recruiting candidates are awesome through this system. Reports are excellent also as well as the customize-able dashboards.

Cons

There are really no cons that I can think of other than it may be a little overwhelming for inexperienced users.

April 28, 2019

4.0

A good tool for customization and in general keeping track of candidate's stage

Pros

\- Amazing workflows right for our org - Very clean and well-formated data - Good customer support

### "Beast of an ATS!"

April 15, 2019

5.0

I have previously used ATS software designed for the public sector, while iCIMS is similar in structure, the ability to modify literally everything related to design is W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L! I am also very impressed with the ongoing customer service, training modules, and relationship iCIMS builds with their clients.

Pros

The ability to fine-tune and adapt the system based on your organization's needs. Everything can be modified to suit your needs.

Cons

Nothing, I cannot learn enough fast enough. I am a new user :)

### "Good recruitment/applicant tracking system"

November 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

Our organization uses iCIMS for application tracking, we use it mostly to create requisitions for our team, the process is simple enough, however sometimes need HR folks to handhold when we have doubts. Documentation is adequate enough.

Cons

More comprehensive documentations for first time users as not every managers are very well versed with the system.

### "Text recruit has changed the spped we can connect with applicants."

April 3, 2018

4.0

it has helped with the initial contact of applicants and has made scheduling pre-screen calls and or interviews much easier. No more phone tag!

Pros

Ease of use, turnaround time is incredible. The very forsrt day of use, I sent 35 messages and had responses within 5 minutes. Before I could waste half a day playing phone tag with people. This has made the intial contact with applicants much more efficient.

Cons

I do not have any real "cons." Sometimes it seems the messages are put in a delayed hold instead of being sent immediately even though my settings are set to send immediately.

July 18, 2012

4.0

Most excellent Help Desk Team!!! Much thanks.

Pros

We can all see and share candidate information - applicants don't get lost.

Cons

A few features that would help us haven't been roled out yet...i.e. would like to enter program specific information that would auto-populate into our job ads.

### "Nice dashboard to review your own application submissions"

April 4, 2018

4.0

It allows the application process to have more clarity on both sides of the interviewing table.

Pros

My favorite aspect of icims recruit is the ability to see what stage your job application is in. It gives clarity to the dreaded black hole that an application process is typically like, you know where you stand.

Cons

The user interface is very minimal, while pleasing to the eye, it can be a little confusing knowing how to navigate your account to review application status or make updates.

### "Not a user friendly product"

September 19, 2018

2.0

Pros

If you have the ability to search it is easy to search for candidates and jobs. Nice at a glance of applicants in bin.

Cons

In order to search you must give all hiring managers this ability. It also gives them the ability to see everything about your candidate/new applicant including salary offer and benefits made- not cool. Too many updates.

### "Good platform for job applications"

January 13, 2023

4.0

I’ve benefited from using icims talent cloud because it has helped me apply for many different kinds of jobs. I have become familiar with the platform because many companies use it.

Pros

I like that icims is used for many jobs so I can easily sign in and apply for a job when the job poster uses icims.

Cons

It’s difficult to use on a mobile device.

### "Applicant tracking, Internal IJP's and easy to share through social media."

August 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Our HR recruitment team deployed it last year and it relatively easier to our earlier system. Searching jobs in specific areas of our company is very easier since then.

Cons

The look and feel should have been better looking. May be we are using the default skin. Integration with Workday was a bit time consuming, but still smooth so far.

### "Keeps Getting Better "

January 18, 2016

5.0

I first started working with iCIMS in 2009. In that time I have been fortunate to implement the software at two companies and several Recruiting consulting projects with clients using iCIMS. The platform is incredibly user friendly and the best part about it is how configurable and flexible it is to each company's needs. Every organization has different structures and process within their Talent Acquisition and HR functions and iCIMS has truly developed their products to meet these needs. The consistent updates to the system shows that they are on the cutting edge of recruiting enablement and technology while listening to feedback from their clients. The system has evolved so much since my first interaction with it 6 years ago. My favorite features of the system would be the configurable dashboard, reporting functions and the email campaigns The one drawback to the system comes from its configurability. While this is great, it does require an organization to commit time and resources to working with iCIMS to maximize its potential.

April 9, 2018

4.0

Contacting a multitude of candidates within minutes.

Pros

The ability to import a list of candidates contacts, create mass text campaign, and customize text to address candidate's first name.

Cons

Import mapping, filtering contacts needs to be more elevated. Search options seem a little limited.

### "iCIMS Review"

January 15, 2016

4.5

Pros

It is a robust application that meets our needs and has feature that go well beyond that. ICIMS program of continuous improvement based upon customer solicited input means that they are always developing new features that we can use.

Cons

Needs a better mobile device interface. I believe this is planned for the next upgrade/release of the application.
