- Customers, Independent Analysts Recognize iCIMS' Talent Platform as Top Enterprise Recruiting Solution -

Hazlet, NJ, May 21, 2003 - The ERExchange, a leading analyst of recruitment technology, has rated iCIMS' Talent Platform as the #1 enterprise recruiting solution available to mid and large sized corporations in its annual review of Applicant Tracking Systems. Based on customer feedback and independent analysis by The Newman Group, iCIMS received top honors across the board for Feature Performance, Vendor Performance, and Overall Product Average.

The ERExchange's Applicant Tracking Systems 2003: Industry Analysis & Buyer's Guide took feedback from over 1,000 recruiting professionals to narrow a field of over 100 recruiting solutions to only 14 of the leading Applicant Tracking Solutions actively used by corporate human resource departments. Independent ATS expert, The Newman Group, then evaluated each solution, feature-by-feature, to complete the annual publication.

The evaluation criteria for the 14 solution providers (Alexus, Brassring, Peopleclick, Virtual Edge, Hire.com, Yahoo! Resumix, HodesIQ, HRSmart, Kenexa, Peoplesoft, Recruitmax, Recruitsoft, Webhire, and iCIMS) were broken-down into two categories: Overall Feature Performance and Overall Vendor Performance. iCIMS took top honors in both categories, as HR professionals and industry analysts alike acknowledged iCIMS' Talent Platform as the #1 applicant tracking solution currently marketed to corporations domestically and abroad.
