What" Is Icims

iCims Information

iCims, also known as Internet Collaborative Information Management Systems, was founded in 2000. As of 2015, it has acquired over 500 employees and now serves over 3,200 customers worldwide (in 70 different countries).
iCims is a popular applicant tracking system (ATS) that is known for being "tech savvy" as it allows candidates to apply for jobs using their social media profiles. The company also specializes in branding, allowing companies and organizations to customize email communications to be consistent with their brand identity. iCims provides mobile career portals that are compatible with a range of devices. This allows for easier upload and access for candidates, thus potentially speeding up the hiring process.

However, it's important to note that candidates should be aware of the job boards, job recruiting sites (Monster.com, Indeed.com, Job.com), and postings via social media they see online, as these systems can automatically send their resumes and CVs to the iCims system. There, they will be processed, scanned, and reviewed for keywords and compatibility. Therefore, if candidates send out "general resumes" (versus job and keyword-specific resumes), the ATS will not pick up keywords or phrases, and an applicant's chances of being registered as "compatible" or "a match" will drastically decrease. Worse, the applicant may even be flagged for rejection.
