iCIMS’ Talent Platform Emerges as Front Runner in New Wave of Industry Migrations

- Software-as-a-Service Provider Emerges as Solution of Choice for Mid- Market Companies Seeking Alternative to Current Talent Acquisition Systems -

HAZLET, N.J. (April 17, 2009) iCIMS, the third-largest provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) talent acquisition solutions, announced today that the company has seen a growing number of mid-market companies migrate over to the Talent Platform from such competing solutions as Vurv Express. iCIMS' competitive pricing and inherently flexible platform has enabled the Talent Platform to emerge as a clear leader during a new wave of migrations.

Recently, iCIMS released record-breaking numbers for 2009's first fiscal quarter with over 50 new customer signings. This early momentum has powered iCIMS into Q2 and the company is projected to gain strength throughout the remainder of 2009; reflecting the viability of both the software offerings and the company itself. Many of these recent client additions fall within the mid-market and have migrated from competing solutions, such as Vurv Express, to the Talent Platform , as an alternative Talent Acquisition System. As these companies search for the most cost effective solution that will also provide long-term value, iCIMS has emerged as the solution of choice.

Currently supporting the talent management initiatives of more than 700 organizations worldwide, iCIMS has been named the two-time winner of the HRchitect “Beauty Contest” for Talent Acquisition Solutions and Mid-Market Applicant Tracking Solutions. The Award-Winning Talent Platform is an attractive alternative for mid-market companies seeking to switch to a more powerful and affordable ATS. iCIMS offers these customers a highly configurable solution that is powerful enough to meet their talent management needs today, yet flexible enough to grow with their future organizational needs. This high degree of flexibility is greatly valued by mid-market organizations that are looking to invest in a Talent Platform that is capable of expanding to meet their evolving corporate vision. Furthermore, iCIMS' commitment to providing the industry's best customer support , which is evidenced by the company's recent achievement of being named Customer Service Department of the year, is a welcomed change for mid-market clients migrating off of competing solutions. Unlike the limited support models offered by many of these companies' previous solution providers, iCIMS provides Enterprise levels of service for all clients, regardless of size.

iCIMS provides clients with the tools necessary to attract, manage and retain today's top talent. A flexible solution that can be easily configured to meet the distinct needs and processes of each client, the Talent Platform is ideal for mid-market companies looking to manage a multitude of both pre-and-post hire needs from within one core application, such as applicant tracking, onboarding, performance management, succession planning, and more. iCIMS also maintains one of the industry's highest client retention rates- a near-perfect 97 percent client retention rate over the past four years.

”The growing number of mid-market companies looking to migrate to a new solution really underscores the shift we are seeing within the space.” said Adam Feigenbaum, iCIMS' Director of Sales. “These organizations have been forced to settle for inefficient ‘off the shelf' Talent Acquisition Solutions that are incapable of expanding to meet evolving organizational needs. The Talent Platform provides much more value at a competitive price and because of this is becoming the alternative of choice.”
