• I like the convenience of having all candidates in one place.
• Communication with candidates is easy and efficient.
• I enjoy the ability to organize candidate placement in the system the way I prefer.

I used iCIMS as a recruiting platform for about five years. It allowed me to view all the roles we were hiring for and communicate with candidates via email from a single screen. It was also helpful for organizing each candidate into their own pool so that a coworker could easily pick up where I left off without any issues.

Right before I left the company that used iCIMS, they were working on updating the platform. The planned changes included improved communication tools and more seamless ways to move candidates through the hiring process.

• The system becomes slow and sometimes unresponsive when handling a large volume of candidates.
• It can be chaotic when multiple people use it simultaneously, as it doesn't update in real time.
• The system doesn’t notify me when a new email arrives from a candidate. It would be beneficial if the platform could better manage heavy traffic and provide real-time notifications.

I prefer using iCIMS over other recruiting platforms because it gives me the freedom to organize candidates the way I want and offers the option to call or email them directly. Other tools tend to rely more on AI, which can be frustrating since candidates often have unique and specific questions that require personal responses.

Buyers should consider whether they want to incorporate AI into their recruiting process. iCIMS involves a lot of manual work, which may not align with the preferences of companies looking for high automation, especially in today's market.

iCIMS has significantly improved its communication features. When I first started using it, I couldn’t email candidates directly through the platform, but that functionality was added about a year later. It also introduced additional candidate pools, making it easier to keep everything organized.

Large companies can benefit from iCIMS.

• It is easy to use; posting a job with iCIMS is straightforward.
• It allows us to post jobs both internally and externally, including to job boards like Indeed.
• It provides a simple way to track applicants across different job postings and view their application history.

iCIMS was already in place when I joined the company. The purpose of using iCIMS was to allow HR Generalists to post hourly positions internally and externally without needing to go through a recruiter.

I used the tool for three years, and it provided a simple way to post jobs, review candidates, and schedule interviews. We primarily used the tool for internal candidates, and we needed a way to track applications and resumes efficiently.

• There is limited training available; I learned how to use the tool primarily through colleagues.
• It is difficult to bulk download resumes. I have only been able to download individual resumes one at a time.
• iCIMS has more features beyond applicant tracking, but we do not use them at my company. More information on these additional features would be helpful.

I have not used any other applicant tracking systems. I think iCIMS is effective for those who need a recruiting tool but are not professional recruiters. It is relatively easy to use with minimal training.

This tool is a good option if you're hiring internally or occasionally externally. It is user-friendly, even for those without a recruiting background, though I have found training resources to be limited.

iCIMS has incorporated AI to help narrow down resumes and identify qualified candidates more effectively.

iCIMS is well-suited for any organization that needs an applicant tracking system for recruiting.

Of all the ATSs I have used in the past, I find iCIMS to be the best. It's very user-friendly, and my new recruiters are able to learn it quickly. The process flow is well structured, with clearly defined buckets recruiters can use to manage candidates. It's an excellent system for handling a high volume of requisitions and applicants.

My organization does not purchase iCIMS, but as an RPO, many of our clients use this system. My current client has used iCIMS since 2022. They moved to this system because of its functionality and ability to handle high volumes of requisitions, as well as its reporting capabilities.

I have personally used iCIMS for three years, and I find it to be the best ATS I have used in my career. It is very user-friendly, easy to navigate, and straightforward.

It often freezes when performing bulk tasks such as dispositioning large volumes of candidates. It's difficult to see at a glance whether a candidate has applied to multiple jobs within the company. The reporting setup feels clunky; while strong reports can be built, the process is not intuitive or easy to use.

I never experience bugs or glitches when using iCIMS. It's very user-friendly, and my recruitment team is able to learn the workflows and navigate the system quickly. The process flow is straightforward and easy to follow. While it is more expensive than some alternatives, it offers the best experience for candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers.

Volume—iCIMS is better suited for organizations with high volumes of hiring, both in terms of requisitions and candidates.

Cost—this should be weighed carefully and compared to other systems. Integration—consider whether the system works well with your existing HRIS or sourcing tools like HireEz.

Reporting—evaluate whether the platform meets your talent acquisition team's data and reporting needs.

I find that iCIMS’ biannual updates are usually positive. I do wish they collected more user feedback and made more immediate improvements, but the incremental changes they implement often have a significant impact. The interface has not changed much in the time I’ve used it, so a more modern refresh could be beneficial.

iCIMS is well suited for enterprise-level companies due to its cost and its capabilities for high-volume recruitment. It's also beneficial for organizations that need customization in process flow and reporting. It works well for companies recruiting on a global scale.
