iCIMS
Web-based employment management system for HR and staffing professionals. Equipped with a parsing tool to automate resume acquisition. Don’t just recruit. Go hire with innovative recruitment CRM, applicant tracking, and onboarding solutions.
In the absurdly complicated and often bewildering universe of Human Capital Management (HCM), where paperwork multiplies like Vogon poetry and processes baffle even the most advanced minds, two prominent stars orbit around the galactic nexus of employee lifecycle management: SuccessFactors and iCIMS.

SuccessFactors, a grand and mighty chunk of SAP's sprawling enterprise monolith, is the kind of platform that likes to say, "I can do everything." Imagine a sprawling digital bureaucracy, complete with core HR functions, talent management, workforce analytics and learning management. It’s the sort of thing designed for enormous, intergalactic corporations that have more employees than some planets have life forms. With all the gravity of a black hole, it draws in large enterprises that want performance management, succession planning and employee development all neatly bundled into a single, unified system. In other words, it’s the galactic guidebook for managing your workforce—assuming your workforce spans multiple solar systems.

On the other hand, iCIMS is more like the zippy little spacecraft that specializes in one thing: getting you where you need to go, faster than you can say "Don't Panic." It doesn’t attempt to tackle the whole HCM universe, oh no. iCIMS sticks to what it does best: applicant tracking and recruiting. With a user-friendly interface that feels more like a comfortable towel than an endless bureaucratic form, it appeals to organizations of all sizes. Customizable workflows? Check. Integration capabilities? Absolutely. It’s designed for those who are more interested in recruiting efficiency and candidate experience than mapping out the entire employee lifecycle from cradle to retirement.
