ERExchange Ranks iCIMS' Professional #1 ATS for Small Businesses in 2004

iCIMS also recognized with perfect Customer Service rating in latest study on Applicant Tracking Solution Providers

Hazlet, NJ, June 9, 2004 - iCIMS, a leading provider of web-based Talent Management Solutions, announced today that the ERExchange has recognized iCIMS' Professional as the Industry's #1 Applicant Tracking Solution for small businesses in their 2004 Industry Analysis and Buyer's Guide. In addition to the #1 ranking, iCIMS also received a perfect rating in Customer Service, as well as high scores in both Overall Vendor and Feature Performance.

iCIMS' Professional is a web-based, SaaS model Applicant Tracking solution designed around the recruitment requirements of organizations under 1,000 employees. Much like iCIMS' mid-market and Enterprise level software, iCIMS' Professional is recognized as being one of the fastest, easiest to use, and most cost-effective solutions in the Industry. Corporations leveraging iCIMS' Professional also cite the system's configurability, reporting tools, and customer service as key differentiators that elevate iCIMS above the other vendors serving this market.

The Electronic Recruiting Exchange (ERExchange) is an independent organization that was initially conceived in 1998 as a forum for recruiters to get feedback about online recruiting from a relatively unbiased source: their peers. In addition to its annual research on recruitment technologies for corporations, both small and large, the ERExchange also hosts seminars and conferences for its 40,000 members. In addition, The ERExchange publishes Electronic Recruiting Daily, an email-based publication authored by expert commentators from within the recruitment industry.

The recognition for iCIMS' small business offering comes on the heels of a successful year for the solution provider, including unprecedented industry recognition and customer growth. In 2003, the ERExchange ranked iCIMS' Corporate as the Industry's top ATS for mid-to-large corporations, an accomplishment that was validated later that year when the Solution Provider was also recognized as the fastest growing vendor in the Talent Management space, with over 60 new client wins in 2003. This success has continued into 2004 with over 25 new client signings in Q1 alone, and recognition from Workforce Management Magazine as being one of the 5 largest Applicant Tracking Solution vendors in the market, with over 170 clients worldwide.

"iCIMS is extremely proud to be recognized as the #1 Applicant Tracking Solution provider on the market for a 2nd year in a row", says Colin Day President & CEO of iCIMS. "The Talent Management space is a highly competitive market, with literally hundreds of vendors and solutions supporting the recruitment and retention needs for corporations of all sizes. To be recognized as the #1 provider not only for the mid-to-large market, but also to small businesses, is a true testament to the flexibility of our suite of solutions and iCIMS' ability to match the ongoing technology needs of our clients with the Industry's highest levels of customer service."
