"This has been one of the most efficient and responsive implementation teams I’ve worked with. Their turnaround on configurations and follow through on deliverables has been tremendous."

With nearly 900 staff members, recruiting for full-time and part-time positions as well as a wide variety of internships for students and recent grads, NPR desired a flexible and configurable solution to find the extensive-array of top talent they were seeking. Frustrated with their current system's lack of configurability and illogical set-up, NPR began evaluating new HR software vendors. With hiring managers very active in the system, NPR required an easy to use, interactive and searchable database that allowed hiring managers to easily build requisitions and look up resumes. Additionally, recruiters wanted a system with robust reporting features to support and track their recruiting metrics and processes.
After bringing in five vendors for demos, NPR narrowed it down to two possible providers and ultimately selected the iCIMS Talent Platform. "It was great to work with iCIMS during the demo process as features and platform capabilities were presented to us in an easy-to-understand and intuitive manner," said NPR Director of Talent Acquisition, Lars Schmidt. "But it was iCIMS' sandbox environment that blew us out of the water. The configurability of the platform was exactly what we wanted in every possible way. The interface was easy to use and the portals were easily configured and clean".
Eager to start using the iCIMS Talent Platform for their hiring initiatives, NPR was pleased to find its recruiters could begin learning and leveraging their system throughout implementation. "It's a big differentiator that you can actually work in the system while implementing – our team has been testing in a live environment from day one," said Schmidt. Furthermore, NPR lauds their relationship with iCIMS' award-winning customer support teams, specifically the best practice driven Implementation Managers. "This has been one of the most efficient and responsive implementation teams I've worked with. Their turnaround on configurations and follow through on deliverables has been tremendous".
