“Guidance Through Complex System Choices Leads to Positive Implementation Experience”

5.0
Dec 18, 2025
The iCIMS team was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They truly delivered on their promise of white-glove support and made us feel like part of the iCIMS family throughout the entire process. Their collaboration and commitment to our success were evident at every stage. With a highly customizeable system like iCIMS, there are decisions to make at every turn, but the team ensured we were informed, guided us strategically, and helped us make the best choices for our organization. Even during some internal team transitions on the iCIMS side, they maintained seamless service and kept us on track towards our goals. We always felt supported, heard, and empowered. The team consistently went above and beyond to provide solutions, keep momentum, and ensure a smooth implementation. Thanks to their expertise and partnership, we are incredibly proud of the work accomplished and excited about the continued value we will realize from the iCIMS platform. Overall, the experience was truly exceptional and exceeded expectations; we felt fully set up for success!

“Customization Capabilities Stand Out Amid Unaddressed Issues With Feedback Features”

While iCIMS is indeed an impressive product - there are many small nuances that hinder its ability to be better. Small improvements that I've seen suggested in the community seem to go unheard. I do think it's overpriced and that customer service and user experience could use improvements.

iCIMS Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like that the product is so customizable and that you can build something that works for you and modify what you build, even down to the user group level, so that we as an organization can ensure we are only putting what's important in front of our users and nothing that's not. The implementation team and the overall support has also been top notch

Like

The level of customization. We operate in a very unique environment and I've been able to build out things that directly support our unique needs.

Like

The configuration options. They are not limitless, but there are more than enough ways to customize your experience, security/access, and workflows without touching code or hiring a developer team. This also means that when iCIMS updates its platform, your customizations are unimpeded.

Dislike

No weaknesses, but some can say that with a highly customizeable system like this, it almost gives you too much, and too many options but i like it! There are some features that i question why they don't exist given how detailed everything else is, but overall the team at iCIMS seems highly receptive and adaptable to customer feedback. Twice during our implementation they even rolled out new features we had asked for.

Dislike

When I reach out to the help desk or launch a ticket - it can be difficult to convey what the issue is due to language barriers. Small changes that have been suggested seem to go unheard - a specific example would be the interview feedback feature. It would be helpful to notify users when a feedback form is completed by a hiring manager - but this feature is still unavailable. We have to manually go back and check for feedback until it's delivered. This is such a small fix that has really been harmful to the credibility of ICIMS with my hiring managers. I supposed if I had to come up with a third dislike, it would be the inability to purge/archive certain items. For example, we have numerous offer letter clauses that need to be archived because they are no longer in use - since we don't have anything to replace them with - I had to relabel them as Z_Archived Z_Archived1 Z_Archived2 so that they aren't right at the top of the library and in the way when we're trying to select clauses.

Dislike

Object level security is a great feature, but it can make some steps of configuring or modifying security a little tedious. However, I will choose this 100000x before I go back to blanket, wide-net roles and responsibilities. Worth the investment, just plan on taking your time to do it right.

    Challenges Faced With ICIMS CRM and Video Studio for Employer Branding Tasks

    3.0
    Apr 6, 2026
    Working with ICIMS for CRM and Video Studio as my first platforms for employer branding has been a overall ok experience. Implementing the CRM was extremly difficult as I was not provided an implementation support when we rolled out to our entire Talent Organization. Becuase of that, it has been difficult to get full adoption as I had to roll it out on my own as a new user. Since then I have submitted countless tickets for ways the system could be better for our use case. I have also had many calls with ICIMS engineers for issues. The other product is video studio. While the concept is great. the overall experience for the administration (me) and the employees has not been the best. Video Studio creates lots of manual work load on my part as the only adminsitrator on the account.

    iCIMS has all the bells and whistles you're looking for without having to custom code! So, take extra time for discovery prior to config!

    The system is very powerful yet intuitive. They are constantly working to improve the product and stay on top of hiring best practices to aid talent acquisition. Service-level is high-caliber, and the responsiveness of the support team is good.

    A lot of good but often glitchy and buggy due to all the constant enhancements and product rollouts.

    There is not great internal collaboration between your product design teams. Alot of the seasonal releases have a lot of hype but don't deliver on the real requests we have (i.e. interview scheduling, automation, etc). Your oversees support chat is very poor and slow on responses. There is poor functionality on enhancements where there is supposed to be a vendor partnership (i.e. Apply Network with Indeed - we have had MANY issues with this set up).
