iCIMS

A recruitment scam tried to hire me here, watch out for these things, and also fake reviews are easy to find, they are from accounts with generic names and follow the same pattern because they are paid for and don't pay for dynamic review patterns, I can smell the fake stuff miles away. Take care.

iCims is a great company, wonderful product, historic building (it's where they figured out the big bang theory apparently)... This is a review of their location though, not the product. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because - even though the building was one of the key research facilities for phones & development of mobile technology (Bell Labs Research) - the building has virtually no phone reception... At least on the ground floors. So, super cool, great history, just tough to communicate with outside people while you're there!

"Although I was disappointed that my application wasn't successful, I understand that not every candidate is the right fit for every role. However, I found the lack of communication regarding the status of my application to be frustrating. It would have been helpful to receive feedback on how I could improve for future opportunities. I hope the company considers providing more transparency in their recruitment process moving forward."

My advice to the company...be honest!! Harvest some of the morals and values you have on the wall. To everyone else... BEWARE. Most of the reviews online are from (you guessed it) iCIMS. The shady company has great self promotion. Most (90%) of the sales team and account managers are gone. Imagine a totally new workforce every few years? They intentionally run you into the ground. Overall, I had a terrible experience with my snarky manager up to the CEO Colin. Every single person is a backstabber. The result is a twisted reality that the workers have to face daily. Who is next to go? Get written up? Go on a performance plan? My advice.... Find something stable for your future. This is not the place.

UPDATE-1st the good reviews are from their employees as someone else pointed out and mainly talk about the expensive office/building. We pay 2500 month and they removed our rep, so there is no one to help us with ongoing issues (except a generic, slow to respond customer care email). Also I forgot to mention that the worst part of ICIMs is that you cannot just scroll through resumes removing those you don't want, you must open and close each one and there is no way to sort them in this simplistic software. Our company fills 8-10 positions each month and we were told ICIMS could help us not only attract talent, but track and process them throughout the hiring process. We signed a 3 year contract at almost 100k. It has been over 1 year and we receive a mere 0-3 resumes for most of the jobs we post. The few resumes that come in are never qualified. We pay ICIMS $2500 month, but reap no benefit from their system! ICIMS will not let us out of the contract and claim that INDEED has become "greedy" and keeps changing the algorithms so that jobs sweeped to INDEED from them just don't show up in searches. We would like to get out of this contract as it is not living up to everything we were promised. We still have to post our jobs on ICIMS only to post to our website for internal candidates. This is unnecessary work as we must also post/pay for ZipRecruiter and INDEED as well. It does not work for tracking applicants as no solid candidates ever come from ICIMS. We would like out of their contract because it is not working as promised and honestly just not working at all for us. They have taken a hard line agains letting us out of the contract and want to keep taking our money for no services received.
