iCIMS Announces Growing Number of Mid-Market Clients Adopting Full Talent Platform
– Mid-sized Businesses Cite the Talent Platform’s Cost Effectiveness and Long-Term Value as Key Factors in their Decision Making Process –
HAZLET, N.J. (February 16, 2009) – iCIMS, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider of talent management solutions, today announced the rising trend of the company’s mid-market clients adopting the Talent Platform’s wide breadth of pre- and post-hire solutions.
Currently supporting over 650 customers, iCIMS’ flexible Talent Management Solution has received repeated industry-wide acclaim for its talent acquisition and management capabilities such as applicant tracking, job sourcing, EEO/OFCCP management tools, onboarding, performance management, succession planning, and more. With several high-profile client signings last year through 2009, including Harpo, Crunch Fitness, Sony Music Entertainment and more, iCIMS is gaining heightened recognition among mid-sized companies across every industry that are seeking to revitalize existing uneconomical and inefficient Human Resource Management methods. Typically, small and mid-sized organizations use the software to manage both their pre- and post-hire programs while large organizations turn to iCIMS’ single platform to replace multiple talent acquisition modules.
Human Resources specialists indicate that today’s economic turbulence is forcing HR Departments to seek out strategic and cost-effective ways to manage both the volume of applicants and the current workforce. As opposed to other talent management systems requiring costly modules, add-ons, and data integrations, the iCIMS Talent Platform operates on one single-source solution. This one-stop solution offers the market’s most flexible, cost-effective, and streamlined solution and eliminates the need for SMBs to purchase and maintain multiple solutions.
“While HR departments in every industry are finding increasingly limited budgets to work with, the demand for one system that can accommodate the entire employee lifecycle is rapidly growing,” said Adam Feigenbaum, iCIMS’ Director of Sales. “Because the Talent Platform can serve as SMB organizations’ HR system of record, we have seen an increasing number of our clients, especially within the mid-market, look past their current ATS and take advantage of the wide breath of both pre- and post- hire solutions the platform offers.”
Clients that have begun adopting the Talent Platform as a full Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tool include Athlete’s Performance, who were featured in a recent Workforce Management article for their extensive use of the platform, Lulu, DC Prep and FlightWorks, among others. These clients and others utilize the Talent Platform for such post-hire tools as performance management, employee management, surveys, referral programs and more. By expanding their platform to include such post-hire tools, these companies are able to manage the entire employee lifecycle within one technology, without having to manage data across several point solutions or databases.
“There is much value in using one solution for all of you talent management needs, and as more and more SMB companies have come to this realization, we have seen an incredible adoption of the Talent Platform as a full ERP,” said Feigenbaum. “This growing shift really underscores our focus and strength in the mid-market space.”
iCIMS also boasts industry-lauded Customer Support, most recently being named the Customer Service Department of the year by the Stevie Awards, as well as being recognized by the Sift Media Software Satisfaction Awards for superior customer support levels. iCIMS was also named the two-time winner of HRchitect’s “Beauty Pageant” for Talent Acquisition and Mid-Market Applicant Tracking solutions.
