iCIMS' Talent Platform Records 99.99% Availability Statistic in Historic Year

Hazlet, NJ, January 27, 2003 - iCIMS, a leading provider of web-based applicant tracking solutions for HR and recruiting professionals, capped its most prosperous year to date with the announcement of its 2002 System Availability statistic of 99.99% during regular business hours.

In addition to this high level of technology reliability, iCIMS also eclipsed several company milestones including three record sales months and the signing of its 100th client in September. Furthermore, iCIMS enhanced its company stability announcing a strategic alliance with TMP Worldwide and it's product stability by "Akamaizing" iCIMS' Talent Platform, making it one of the fastest Applicant Tracking Solutions available.

Powered over a global backbone of 13,000 Akamai servers, iCIMS streamlines the searching, storing and tracking processes of the recruitment cycle, increasing recruiting efficiency as much as fifty percent. Among other benefits, iCIMS' technology eliminates the need for manual data entry, while creating a paperless recruiting environment. Additionally, iCIMS seamlessly integrates with a client's corporate website automating the screening, filtering, and ranking of applicants from that source, while also providing resources to collect, track, and report on EEO-compliance data.

"2002 marked a turning point in the ATS industry", notes Colin Day, President/CEO of iCIMS. "Despite a down economic year, many corporations used 2002 as a time to evaluate their recruiting processes, and put reliable and stable solutions in place for when recruiting once again becomes a priority."

As a result of this more in-depth buying process, there has been a thinning of the ATS competitive landscape, with less-reliable solutions and weaker business models disappearing or being absorbed by more stable providers. "With over 100 corporations using iCIMS and support from our diverse partner network", continues Day, "iCIMS has established itself as one of the most stable ATS providers on the market". "With the stability of even the largest providers in question, iCIMS has emerged as an attractive option for those forward-thinking companies seeking reliable recruiting technologies today and for years to come".
