One thing I like is that it keeps all candidate information and job postings in one place, which makes it easier to stay organized when managing multiple roles.

It gives clear visibility into where candidates are in the hiring process, so it's easier to track progress and follow up when needed.

It works well for both internal and external recruiting, which helps keep things consistent across different types of hires.

We started using iCIMS because we were looking for a more consistent way to manage recruiting across both internal and external candidates. Before that, a lot of our hiring process felt inconsistent depending on the team, and it wasn't always easy to track where candidates were in the process across different stages.

We also wanted something that gave hiring managers better visibility into where things stood without relying on back-and-forth emails and manual follow-ups.

I've personally used iCIMS for about two years in an HR role, working closely with both recruiters and hiring managers throughout the hiring process.

The system can feel a bit clunky at times, especially for managers who don't use it regularly.

Some parts of the interface take time to get used to, and it's not always obvious where to find certain things.

Reporting is useful, but getting exactly what you need can take some extra effort or workarounds.

In my experience, iCIMS feels more structured compared to some other recruiting tools I've used. It does a good job of keeping everything organized, especially when you're managing multiple roles at the same time. Some other tools I've come across are a bit more modern in design and easier to learn quickly, but they don't always give the same level of control over the hiring process.

One thing to think about is how well the tool fits your overall hiring process, especially if you have multiple teams involved in recruiting.

Ease of use is also important, since hiring managers will need to use it regularly and it shouldn't feel too complicated.

It's worth looking at how the system handles workflows and approvals, because that can either slow things down or help keep everything organized.

Over time, I've seen iCIMS make some updates that made it a bit easier to use day to day. Earlier on, some parts of the system felt harder to navigate, but updates have helped clean up the interface and make workflows more straightforward. I've also noticed better flexibility in how you can manage candidate stages and track progress compared to before.

iCIMS works well for mid-sized to larger organizations that have ongoing hiring needs and multiple roles at the same time. It's especially useful when there are several hiring managers involved, since it helps keep everything organized and consistent across teams.

I like the cost of iCIMS as it fits my company's budget. I like that the system regularly updates with payroll laws and compliance for our multi-state company. I like that I have a dedicated account representative. I like that there are many different training options in the portal. I like that it is user-friendly, even for those who are not well-versed in computers.

My company and my HR Team was struggling to keep employees engaged and we needed an electronic system that would allow us to conduct regular performance reviews so that we could develop and keep our team motivated.

We needed a system that would offer us the ability to use it for both payroll and performance, in addition to housing our employee benefits. We also required the provider to offer training and be easy to use and learn.

We needed a company that was strong and had an excellent service team. We also required that it offer carrier connections, as we have several different benefit providers. We also needed the system to be cost-efficient.

I wish that the system was more accommodating with templates. I think that if the system offered robust templates for processes and procedures for an HR Team, they would sell a lot more of it.

Many HR professionals need assistance with creating and refining processes and procedures and I think that if the system offered a diverse offering of templates, it would save people a lot of time.

iCIMS is somewhat competitive to companies like ADP. It is not competitive to larger HRIS offerings such as Workday. It is a viable option for a young and small business, needing basic HR and payroll functionality.

What is their budget? How many states do they do business in? How many employees must they provide access to? How is the training structured? Do they train managers or only the HR Team? What is the Implementation Period and requirements of time and money and personnel?

iCIMS has done a satisfactory job in evolving with user needs, namely training requirements and payroll law updates.

iCIMS is great for a small business that is just starting out. iCIMS is great for a company that has a dedicated payroll person. iCIMS is a solid option if you want to keep a reasonable cost to your payroll and benefit processing.

User friendly regardless of user access whether it's through the applicant experience or client access. Great analytics and analysis for monitoring hiring data. Stability in handling large volumes of applicants across organizations.

We use iCIMS as an applicant tracker tool when hiring. iCims provides applicant statusing and can help clients engage with prospective applicants in scheduling interviews and assessments.

I've used this program for 5+ years to assess our talent pool and support the organization in hiring. Overall, the iCIMS program is user friendly and it provides excellent end to end functionality.

Would like to have more autonomy in selecting integrated applications. Complexity in understanding the program at first, requiring more training than expected.

The analytical data generated is far more advanced than other systems used.

Provide ample time for training employees on the system. Understand the limitations in application integration with certain systems.

AI automation has helped in candidate filtering.

iCIMS is good for larger organizations with multiple hiring needs.
