Hazlet, NJ, April 14, 2003 - iCIMS, a leading provider of workforce management solutions for mid-to-large sized corporations, announced today the release of its latest and most advanced solution offerings, iCIMS' 4.1 and iResume 2.0. The new product offerings also begin the introduction of Microsoft's .NET Platform, guiding the next generation of iCIMS offerings and the Talent Platform development.

Continuing its tradition of delivering fast and reliable recruitment technology, iCIMS has enhanced it's flagship iCIMS' Applicant Tracking Solution, most notably by accelerating the overall speed of it's solutions, while further broadening the features and capabilities of the product. Furthermore, iResume, iCIMS landmark resume acceptance and processing tool, has been re-designed into iResume 2.0, a faster and more accurate deployment of their already cutting-edge iResume technology. As before, there are no transactional costs with iResume 2.0, which comes completely integrated with iCIMS' 4.1.

"As our relationship with Akamai Technologies already indicates, speed is a key differentiator when evaluating iCIMS' Talent Platform against competing technology," cites Colin Day, iCIMS' President & CEO. "iCIMS adoption of .NET technology and subsequent release of iCIMS' Talent Platform 4.1 only increases the speed disparity between iCIMS and its competition." In addition to iCIMS' 4.1's improved query and response time, iResume 2.0' s performance capabilities have also been significantly enhanced. On average, iResume 2.0 processes resumes in just 2 seconds, 10 times faster than the original version, while maintaining a threshold of 95% accuracy.

Automating the search, storage, and tracking of hiring data, iCIMS' 4.1 delivers a tangible Return-On-Investment to HR departments, while creating a highly effective and efficient recruiting process. The new iCIMS offerings also provide powerful Ad-hoc search and reporting capabilities, further allowing customers to recognize the Return-on-Investment from their iCIMS' Talent Platform Solutions. In addition, iCIMS' 4.1 addresses concerns over the definition of an applicant versus that of a resume, as well as those regarding EEO-compliance data collection and tracking. iCIMS' 4.1 also promotes proper and timely communication between recruiters and applicants through an upgraded Applicant Notification Center.

"With the integration of Microsoft's .NET Platform underway, the flexibility of iCIMS' Talent Platform, from both a development and user-interface perspective, is limitless," continues Day. "iCIMS prides itself on developing solutions that are fast, customizable, and user-friendly. The enhancements now in production are a testament to these ideals and affirmation of iCIMS' commitment to make use of the most advanced technologies to create best-practice workforce management solutions."
