    Considered Both Products
    iCIMS
    Chose iCIMS
    iCIMS Talent Cloud provided a better fit into an organization like ours and fewer implementation efforts. Also back in the day, iCIMS Talent Cloud had most of the features we were looking for out of the box. Additionally, it offered better integration possibilities with our …
    Incentivized
    Chose iCIMS
    iCIMS in comparison to other products that were reviewed was (and still is) a more mature product that fits our requirements pretty well. I cannot provide more insight on that, as I was not working in the company back then.
    Incentivized
    Chose iCIMS
    I was not involved in the selection process, but I do much prefer working in ICIMS for corporate roles as I can control the process better than Taleo and large amounts of applicants process more seamlessly in iCIMS vs. Taleo.
    Incentivized
    Chose iCIMS
    There is almost no comparison between Taleo Business Edition and iCIMS. iCIMS has a better product, that provides easier self service and a better support team when dealing with issues. Our biggest reason for leaving Taleo was because the support availability had become so …

    Chose iCIMS
    Implemented: Taleo, Peopleclick, Hiredesk
    Demo'd: Kenexa, ADP, Kronos and many others
    Chose iCIMS
    Taleo, ADP, Bamboo, others
    Chose iCIMS
    I have seen and used a variety of other products, and as I said in a previous answer, there is no comparison. iCIMS is the ONLY true ATS. The others are simply modules that were slapped on to round out a HRMS system, or a small product within a very large company that doesn't …
    Chose iCIMS
    I am currently using Taleo, but it is not 100% set up. Initially I would say iCIMS is better, but I came into my previous company where iCIMS had a specific internal person who worked with iCIMS to have it set up properly and it was being used efficiently. Taleo is just getting …
    Chose iCIMS
    I used other ATS's before like Taleo and I don't think that system functioned as well as iCIMS does. I find iCIMS to be easier to explain to managers and items can be found in a logical place such as a cover letter or previous resumes the candidate may have uploaded.
    Chose iCIMS
    I have used many ATS systems over my career, including Halogen, Taleo, Sumtotal, and Kenexa 2XR.
    iCIMS stacks up against all of the above and is above average.
    iCIMS is not a full blown Taleo product but is getting closer to that full blown product with each new release.
    Chose iCIMS
    Having administered both iCIMS and Taleo for the same company I can easily say iCIMS is the better product. Not just because of the superior customization and much more powerful reporting tool but more importantly for the always available customer care team. They are always …
    Chose iCIMS
    Used Taleo many years ago. Unfair to compare only because each company designed there system to meet the company needs. You can way over think the structure of the dashboard and I recommend not doing that.
    Oracle
    Chose Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM

    The Oracle Fusion HCM was purchased without any evaluation before I joined Wesco based on the fact that our company is an Oracle shop and Oracle presented Fusion HCM as the only alternative. I would have done HCM evaluation in past assignments against Workday and PeopleSoft and …

    Chose Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM
    Oracle HCM Cloud stacks against these other software systems very well as being one of the best that I've had the opportunity to use. We decided to use Oracle HCM Cloud because it's extremely user friendly and was the best fit for what our organization and employees need.

    Chose Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM
    I'd rather use Taleo over Bullhorn and iCims

    Chose Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM
    When placed head to head against iCIMS, in my opinion TALEO is the better choice. Again in my opinion, I have found iCIMS to be not as versatile and also not as customizable with other enterprise applications. It is important to note that that all ATS tools have inherent …

    iCIMS Talent Cloud is a great applicant tracking system that allows users to easily identify qualified candidates with built in AI platforms. iCIMS's text recruit is a very helpful tool that allows easy communication from recruiter/admin to candidate, without using personal cell phones on the admin side. This is the day and age that we live in so this is a very appropriate add on.

    Oracle HCM is very much helpful and well suited in the recruitment and placement process and HR data. It makes it easier for HR in [organizations] to keep track of who is in and out of the [organization]. Improvement can be made by allowing employees to record their own data and update it as and when necessary without having to go through HR first.

    Pros
    iCIMS
    • The opt-out message after the 1st text helps weed out the people who are not interested.
    • Having the ability to have templates/answers to frequent questions saved and ready to use makes it easier/faster to talk to multiple people.
    • Being able to schedule text campaigns is amazing. Every Saturday I set up my campaigns for the next week. This gives me more time to focus on other things.

    • Government entities share data readily on applicants and HCM doesn't make it easy to have applications transferred between organizations. If applicants could apply once and send that application to multiple entities that would really make it more appealing to clients. This is a niche that is currently filled with NEOGOV, however Oracle's analytics are far superior to those in NEOGOV
    • There are no customizations allowed so clients need to work within the configuration standards or create a bolt on. Many times your greatest asset is also one of your biggest weaknesses.
    • Oracle is a large company and sometimes it can be hard to navigate the support matrix that they have set up. They also have tiers of support so you can pay more to get more, which isn't optimal from a customer point of view.

    I would say that we are very likely to renew with iCIMS. They seem to continuously be improving their product based on the feedback from their clients. In addition, the thought have having to go through another implementation of this level is daunting and as long as the software continues to meet the business needs of the company and provides the appropriate level of support we will most likely stay. Costs regarding future renewals will also impact this decision and if necessary we will go to market to evaluate other options.

    We just love iCIMS. Our hiring managers love iCIMS. I give it a 9 because some hiring managers do not have to use it as regularly and need reminders on what to do. It really improved our experience with our ATS overall and I wouldn't want to work in any other system in my job.

    After the initial training's, it was quite intuitive to use the application. The application is based upon best practices and the overall flows are quite logical. The train stop approach also ensures that users understand where they are in the process cycle. Also, the number of clicks have been greatly rationalized to ensure that there is more streamlined experience.

    Support Rating
    iCIMS
    Let me begin by saying the implementation phase was PHENOMENAL! Katie was our support manager and she was outstanding. The process was cumbersome and time-consuming, but she was outstanding and knowledgeable. That process gets a 9/10 for sure. However, between multiple account manager changes (and no notification) and being promised functionality that doesn't exist, and not hearing back when we reach out to support or open a ticket, the process has been really disappointing since implementation. We do have a new rep who has reached out to introduce himself, and we are optimistic that our experience will improve considerably after that meeting.

    The rating is based upon our current level of support. The overall experience has vastly changed since we moved into product paid support. 'Also, with Oracle going with the model of quarterly patches, it makes sense to have the product company provide support to the overall application thereby eliminating the problems of bugs.

    iCIMS
    I would say I believe iCims online training is very good. It's informative, visually appealing, and simple in explaining all the different aspects of iCims. I also really like the new candidate onboarding, and all the other training curricula you have up to be able to inform or send out to the candidate. I like you can attach a URL link for videos as well so you can really customize the training. I feel that overall, I would like to see more. Perhaps, more robust options with the training, if that's something iCims is expanding on in the future.

    There is a lot of potential on Fusion. We have reaped about 10% of potential benefits. Especially on Workforce Intelligence, the opportunities are huge. The reason why we do not use the solution at its full potential is not in the product (which is simple and transparent). A roadmap is under construction to bring more of its potential to the end user.

    Fully available automation, lesser bad data quality, more information is gathered at the time of applicant profile creation without having the need to ask for any follow ups or additional notifications. Integrates better with Oracle, Workday and SAP than other similar systems. Service tickets are resolved faster than other vendors we worked with.

    Return on Investment
    iCIMS
    • We implemented iCIMS Talent Cloud right before the pandemic. The pandemic created the most difficult recruitment environment ever. I cannot say that iCIMS Talent Cloud has helped us realize any advantageous success in this battle we are fighting. It gets the job done, but we have realized anything like filling jobs faster or having resources within iCIMS Talent Cloud to allow us to attract candidates differently. Status quo, I guess.

    • We were not good at tracking any numbers around recruiting so now this last year we have been able to set the benchmark that we now can work toward improving.
    • At any given time, we could not say how many open positions we had. Now we are able to keep track of that.
    • We do a much better job with communicating with candidates now, especially the ones not selected. This will help us maintain a better reputation and attract the candidates back for other jobs they may be a better fit for in the future.
