Many will say that there is nothing more important to an organization’s success than a unified mission and a strong corporate cuture. It is what drives an organization to reach for common goals, and helps individuals to understand how they fit and contribute in the grand scheme of things. While this is of course true, the same rule applies for companies that look to partner with one another. It is essential that partnering companies not only have complimentary products, but also a mission and culture that are in tune with one another. Knowing this, iCIMS and NetSuite recently identified the opportunity to team-up with one another to deliver increased value to their clients and prospects.


With this partnership, NetSuite will be able to refer their clients to iCIMS so NetSuite can drive further “stickiness” with its client base and have a more competitive offering to prospects.  As part of the partnership, iCIMS will integrate to NetSuite’s ERP so that NetSuite customers will be able to transition their candidate and new hire data from iCIMS directly.


Both are organizations driven by their dedication to customer service and ease of use. Coming from these similar roots, they know how to deliver results expected by experienced SaaS users. On top of that, they have been focused on the SMB market and view SaaS and IT architecture in similar vanes – both offer Java based software in a true cloud environment, leveraging configuration, rather than customization, to tailor solutions for customers.  They are also growing incredibly fast as the need for both ERP and Talent Acqustion Software is becoming an accepted fact among businesses today.


The recently released announcement of the partnership speaks to the commonalities between them, as well as the excitement on both sides about what this new partnership will mean for clients and prospects alike. Guido Haarmans, Vice President Developer Programs at NetSuite said; “I am excited to announce this new partnership with iCIMS. They have proved themselves to be a superior player in the talent acquisition field, recognized for having a robust, scalable, and easy to use platform that provides a candidate and user experience that is second to none. It was the combination of these features, and their reputation for renowned customer service and support that made iCIMS the obvious choice to be NetSuite’s first commercial partner in its space.” While Ron Kasner, Chief Corporate Development Officer at iCIMS said; “We are both aggressively growing SaaS solution providers, committed to providing leading edge technology that can easily and affordably scale to meet the needs of any sized organization. Given these synergies, along with a similar company culture built around customer orientation, the alliance between iCIMS and NetSuite is a natural fit.” With the two organizations already on the same page in terms of culture and vision, one can only imagine what lies ahead for the increased functionality for their users.

We are about 17 days into 2012 and you are most likely well into implementing your recruitment strategic plan. How is it working out? Are you seeing any improvements compared to 2011? You may need a bit more time to evaluate your current plan, but one important recommendation I would make is: remain flexible in regard to your strategic plan. If you notice that certain initiatives aren’t working – don’t waste your time and money. Nip them in the bud and move on to your next initiative.

Further, if you haven’t considered technology in your 2012 strategic plan, perhaps you should. Managing your recruitment program can be easier with Recruitment Technology and Assessment Science. With these solutions you can direct all of your candidates to an online application process. This allows you to store data electronically while simultaneously performing a thorough assessment test to ensure that the best fit for the position is selected.

If you clicked on this blog, you have probably already considered leveraging technology to facilitate these processes. But since there are so many options out there, the idea of choosing which providers can seamlessly integrate with one another is quite daunting. Well, HR professionals - I’ve just the webinar for you! iCIMS is hosting a free webinar highlighting how our client Aspen Dental enlisted the help of iCIMS and Chequed, a leading assessment provider, to completely streamline and revolutionize their hiring processes.
