Overview

iCIMS is an enterprise recruiting platform that the company calls its intelligent hiring platform. The product line has iCIMS Hire, an applicant tracking system with text recruiting, onboarding, offer management and high volume hiring, iCIMS Engage for candidate relationship management and nurture campaigns, and iCIMS Employer Branding for career sites, a recruitment chatbot and employee testimonial videos. It is sold to large employers in retail, healthcare, manufacturing and finance and is run by talent acquisition and HR operations teams.

The AI layer is iCIMS AI, which the company describes as intelligent agents that support sourcing, matching, engagement and coordination, with recruiters choosing how much autonomy to switch on. Named features include a Sourcing Agent, candidate ranking, talent discovery and matching, a GenAI search assistant, an AI-powered job search for candidates and internal talent, an AI career-site chatbot, AI email writing assistance, AI-generated interview questions, job description optimization, career site translation and SEO copilots. The company states that its AI practices were evaluated and certified against TrustArc’s Responsible AI criteria.

No prices are published. The site’s calls to action are Request Demo and Talk to Sales, with sales and support phone numbers listed, so cost has to be requested and will depend on the products and hiring volume. It is built for large organizations and is not a tool for a small business hiring one person.
