Overall, iCIMS does an outstanding job with their entire platform making it very user friendly for clients to use. Also, their customer service is phenomenal and they are very responsive when you reach out – I’ve never had such a good experience working with a vendor. When you reach out to their client support line, they respond within minutes and even follow-up with a recap of the call and the solution provided via email for your records – I love this!
If I had one suggestion for iCIMS to improve, it would be to make the reporting side of their platform easier to navigate as you really have to ingrain yourself in the platform and reporting features to fully understand how it is all interconnected and how it effects reporting. Many times, I have had to ask the client support line for help in creating a customized report because it wasn’t something easy enough for us to do on our own within input from iCIMS as reporting comes from so many different areas of the platform.
To our surprise, we are blown away by the service provided by iCIMS in a good way. Although we had a general idea upfront from our interactions with them, it did not show how great they really are to clients on an ongoing basis. iCIMS is a must have for any HR department looking for an applicant tracking system.

ICIMS is a very robust system and has alot of capabilities, add-ons and overall functionality. ICIMS is highly configurable and allows for custom fields to be added. Additionally, ICIMS provides a foldering system that allows you to organize your jobs, but locations, manager, etc.
ICIMS has a great reporting feature that is also highly customizable. Its a little complicated to use, but customer service can help you compose a basic report and add in all of the other fields you’d like to see.
The ICIMS product also offers a library for requisitions, which provides easy reference to common labor categories or descriptions that you often use. It allows for copy and edit of existing requisitions to quickly open a new position.
Email tracking through ICIMS is easy to use, and tracks both your outgoing and incoming emails. This creates a great historical record to get a status of what happened years back with candidates.
They do a great job with training modules that you can revisit at any point. They also have printable help guides.
ICIMS doesn’t have a direct feed to Indeed.com, posted positions may take up to 4 days to show on the indeed system. ICIMS also doesn’t direct feed to any of the unemployment websites, which makes you non-compliant for AAP/OFCCP unless you manually repost all of your positions to those website.
Requisitions are very difficult to post in ICIMS with the primary issue being a consistent font. Once you edit or copy a requisition, there were multiple fonts, even after editing and revising would often appear unprofessional in the postings. They do have functionality that they added that has improved this, but it is still a huge time waster and an issue.
Screening questions don’t actually screen out applicants, instead you have to mire through lots of applicants to see that they don’t meet minimum qualifications. Closing out candidates in ICIMS is a nightmare. You have to close them out against the requisition, and again as a candidate. These two separate profiles never quite come together for ICIMS.
Also, while they have lots of functionality, you will be nickeled and dimed for social media and most new updates. There is a cost to add new recruiters, but hiring managers were unlimited, but have very limited access.
Customer service is hit or miss. Some are great, and some are terrible….
If I knew the flaws in the system, it would allow me to plan for more manpower to post jobs and update our website for AAP/OFCCP compliance.
I also wish I knew that the company would not automatically update forms when the laws changed, or new documentation was required.
Prior to an update, the system would have errors, and candidates couldn’t complete an application. The system works, it is just clunky, expensive and has very poor customer service.

Very friendly when you are able to get a hold of them. They do respond to help tickets via email very fast which is nice but at times it does not solve the issue and would be much easier to just be able to call someone.
We hire a lot of seasonal workers each year. We have expressed our need for an easier way to process “re-hires” but so far any changes made towards making it easier for re-hires has not helped my company’s situation.
We were told after our 3rd year that the re-hire process would be considered, so far we have not seen any helpful changes with that.
