"The financial successes we’ve seen with iCIMS have surpassed expectations, and are no doubt directly tied to the adoption of iCIMS."

As this visionary recruiting firm began to make a mark in the industry, its own internal processes began to suffer. By 2003, HirePursuit had gained such tremendous momentum it was literally overwhelmed with client success; so overwhelmed that it no longer had the resources to take on additional high volume projects. HirePursuit and its innovative practices were in high demand, but their decentralized and manual recruiting processes proved an unconquerable obstacle. HirePursuit identified very specific concerns - the most prevalent of which involved taking on and supporting a high volume client that created a triple increase in open requisitions to fill. "After analyzing our needs, it was clear that our inefficient, disorganized processes would lead to a direct financial loss in the foreseeable future," recalls Colt Caniff, Program Director. This was not a chance Caniff and his team was willing to take. Enter iCIMS.
Since the implementation of iCIMS in 2003, HirePursuit has seen a 25-fold increase in direct sales. With effective processes in place, Caniff and his colleagues are able to once again focus on the core recruiting basics, while simultaneously experiencing a phenomenal ROI. "In just six months, HirePursuit went from supporting 30 open client positions to more than 800 positions," says Caniff. "The financial successes we’ve seen with iCIMS have surpassed expectations, and are no doubt directly tied to the adoption of iCIMS."
With client information in one centralized, searchable database, iCIMS has fundamentally improved HirePursuit’s processes. Workflows have gone from nonexistent to well-defined, creating consistency and increasing productivity among the ranks of recruiters. Recruiter morale is at an all-time high, and the continued increase of clients speaks for client satisfaction levels. "iCIMS robust functionality defines our client communications, and supports our multi-client needs with ease. iCIMS has proven to be the most capable, efficient solution for our recruiting practices" said Caniff. "No longer draining our own resources for system maintenance, iCIMS' support team adds to the overall cost-effective solution we rely on each day." remarks Caniff.
