New iCIMS Release Focuses on Experience, Recruiter Productivity

iCIMS said this year’s summer release is intended to give users more control over the candidate experience while helping recruiters increase their productivity. At the same time, new features will help internal candidates navigate and explore potential career paths, iCIMS said.

The release helps talent acquisition teams to:

• More easily edit and manage content on their iCIMS Career Site with a new content management system. An drag-and-drop visual editor allows users to change career site content on the fly, so talent teams can continuously optimize performance.
• Enhance productivity with consolidated job views. A new, unified job overview in iCIMS ATS consolidates open job information like top candidate sources and which candidates require special outreach in one place. In addition, an embedded experience for reference checks brings results from SkillSurvey Post-Hire directly into the iCIMS ATS.
• Deliver deeper insights with expanded analytics. iCIMS Offer and Onboard data become available in Advanced Analytics through a single data feed.

For candidates:

• A new dynamic career pathing tool in iCIMS Opportunity Marketplace helps give employees more visibility and awareness into where and how they can grow within their organization. Employees can:
• Receive tailored career path recommendations from iCIMS Talent Cloud AI. By analyzing information like current role, job history, skills profile and market data, the system can suggest roles that exist within the organization.
• Search and select roles for career paths that align with their aspirations and interests.
• Get a clear understanding of their existing skills, as well as new skills they need to develop in order to qualify for roles that may become available in the future.
• Save and bookmark career paths.

iCIMS Chief Technology Officer Al Smith said the release “will help organizations enhance internal mobility and advancement initiatives.”

About a month ago iCIMS launched a website intended for job seekers in HR and talent acquisition. HRjobs.icims.com aggregates open positions from across the company’s customer base, and allows HR and talent professionals browse opportunities and apply on the hiring company’s career site.
