“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!

Oct 14, 2025
iCIMS is highly flexible and easy to navigate from a user and administrative perspective. Our customer success and account managers are very helpful and responsive to inquiries. I would like to see iCIMS improve their reporting, Support model, and automation capabilities to support clients with complex business objectives.

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

iCIMS provides a high degree of flexibility in day-to-day functionality and is easy to navigate. This allows users to make quick pivots as needed to support the candidate and business needs.

Like

Customer service and support are great!

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

Reporting, the Support model, and automation capabilities are areas that we would like to see improvement.

Dislike

The complexity of the configuration of the system is a challenge. Doing simple things like seeing what access a role has in the system isn't easy to go. Their solution is to proxy in as someone who has the role as it's so configurable. In no other system i've managed I've not had the ability to easily see what access a role can see and easily make updates. Doing things like adding additional menu items for a security group requires a ticket to support.

    Customer Service Resolves Issues Quickly Despite Complex System Configuration Challenges

    4.0
    Oct 13, 2025
    One thing that iCIMS excels in compared to the other vendors is their customer service. They went through and recently implemented a radical change to their support and resolve 98% of inquiries the same day. I wish that the other vendors I worked with were that setup. They also do a great job of helping us optimize and make the best use of our application by having regular monthly check in's. The cons are that this is a complex product and the learning curve is quite steep. It's highly customizable but as an Administrator of the system, it's a bit difficult to manage as there are a lot of items which we don't have permission to do and have to work with support to resolve.
