iCIMS Talent Cloud vs. ZoomInfo Talent

Integrates well with other HR systems like Oracle, SAP, and Workday. The profile creation process is very generic meaning it doesn't work well with all systems. It would be nice if they had a custom setting depending on the target HR system and the ability to save partial data entered and provision to complete at a later time. Follow up emails on workflows. Customer support is great.

Honestly, I'm not using ZoomInfo because I have researchers who have their licenses to several platforms. So, I don't think I need it moving forward.

• Configuration - we are able to configure it to meet our business needs.
• User friendly - I feel it is easy to use and we are able to roll it out with minimal training for our field
• System availability - we have limited to almost no issues with the system being slow or not available during business hours.

Incentivized

• ZoomInfo Talent has detailed search parameters to help identified potentially qualified candidates.
• ZoomInfo Talent allows you to download your results via CSV or Excel directly to your ATS/CRM once linked.
• ZoomInfo Talent shows email open info if you send them emails via ZoomInfo.

Incentivized

• Support model - there has been a decrease in the service, we already addressed it and hopefully, it will improve
• Configuration flexibility - there are minor things that we could easily change but for some reason, it is available only for vendor

• I think the data (emails and phone numbers) is only somewhat accurate.
• Often there is company data missing that is important.
• ZoomInfo doesn't provide phone support for free; you have to pay for phone support in addition to the platform.

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.

It's ok. I don't think it's fabulous. Initially I purchased ZoomInfo Talent to replace LinkedIn Professional Recruiter. I found that I was still finding and connecting with more candidates and ultimately placing them using LinkedIn. I don't think it's an adequate substitute for LinkedIn RPS.

There is always ample advance notice before the software goes down for maintenance and this is usually done at off-peak hours. As for system failures - I can't think of any that have effected us in over two years od use.

We can think of no dissatisfaction with our daily use of iCims, involving its response time to commands or incompatibility with any other software we presently use.

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.

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.

Things went smoothly

The difference between iCIMS Talent Cloud and Salesforce is night and day. We were stuck in the stone age of applicant tracking and metrics. iCIMS has given us the freedom to do with our data as we see useful for us. We are also able to integrate to current HCM/HRIS very easily and effectively.

LinkedIn is a better recruitment program overall in my opinion. I like the InMail feature which seems to get far better results than emailing from ZoomInfo Talent.

iCims is currently pretty good and the best TAS for us at our stage of growth - but further improvement and enhancements will only help make it even better.

Incentivized

• It makes it so much easier to keep the recruit engaged and informed about what is going on in the process.
• I can speak to multiple people at one time which saves me time in the long run
• I can keep a record of every time I have had a conversation with a recruit and what was said in those conversations.

Incentivized

• Negative ROI for 2024. I found often the phone numbers, emails and current companies were not current.
• It's a nice product to have as an add on.
• I don't think training is great; I found it made more sense to hire someone to utilize my sourcing instead.
