TextRecruit is the BEST product for candidate engagement.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- The character limit in the text messages themselves, I think should be higher or unlimited.
- I have always included the opt-out message after the first text is sent, but since it was made a mandatory message I seem to be getting more opt-outs than ever before. I can create a campaign with 250 candidates and only engage with 15%- 20% the other 80% opt-out immediately.
- From time to time I will upload/input a duplicate candidate and not realize it. When this happens it would be great if there was a message or something to alert me to the duplicate in case I shouldn't include them in the new campaign.
Return on Investment
- 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.

Still not sure if it's the best fit for us.
Pros
- TextRecruit - Easy to use and documents conversations right on profiles.
- Dashboard - Configurable and presents information concisely
Cons
- iForms - [I feel] This is not user-friendly at all. The candidate experience suffers in this space. [In my experience] They go from a nice, clean experience to a clunky form on a different platform. I have complained many times about this (along with other clients) and there seems to be no plan to overhaul this.
- [I feel] Auto-launch actions need to be set up by iCIMS Talent Cloud IT - In our previous system, I had 95% control of our workflow. Now, I have to stop, ask for help, and hope their support team responds within the same week.
- Support - [In my experience] Very poor response times. Details of the original issue do not publish in the responses so you have to log in to get the full picture again, since it is usually a week after the original submission that they reply.
- I have contact with a salesperson, but there is no "customer success" account manager that provides solutions or best practices. I have asked, but it hasn't been delivered.
- Poor implementation - I think it was solely the person to who we were assigned. It was not a good match.
Return on Investment
- 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.

Loving it! Just need a little help
Pros

Return on Investment
- It has improved the experience for admin and user in our company.
