Columbia House Selects iCIMS to Support Growing Talent Management Initiative

World's Largest Direct Marketer of Music, DVDs and Videos Implements iCIMS' Talent Management Solution

June 25, 2004 Hazlet, NJ - iCIMS, a leading provider of web-based Talent Management Solutions, announced today that Columbia House, the world's largest and most highly recognized direct marketer of music, DVDs and videos, has implemented iCIMS' Corporate solution to address the organization's ongoing Talent Acquisition and Recruitment Management initiatives. iCIMS' suite of solutions will be used to automate and streamline Columbia House's hiring processes across their offices in New York, Indiana, and Canada.

Per the terms of the deal, Columbia House is leveraging iCIMS' Corporate, the web-based Applicant Tracking Solution for mid-sized corporations, as well as iCIMS' Candidate and Employee Career Center portals, creating an easy-to-use and highly interactive way for job seekers and existing employees to review and apply for open job opportunities at Columbia House. iCIMS has also worked with Columbia House to develop an online application process complete with pre-employment screening and EEO data collection, tracking, and reporting tools, to address the specific requirements of their Talent Management Program.

"The fact that we rely so heavily on the web for our core business helps to drive a lot of traffic to our website. Through passive employment branding, this traffic then results in significant interest in the employment opportunities we have available within the organization", says David Tucker, Director of Recruitment at Columbia House. Tucker continues, "After reviewing a number of leading ATS providers, it was clear that iCIMS' overall ease-of-use and configurability made it far and away the best fit for our present and future HR needs".

iCIMS' Corporate is ranked by the ERExchange as the Industry's #1 Applicant Tracking Solution for mid-to-large sized corporations. In addition, iCIMS small business offering, iCIMS' Professional, was ranked earlier this month as the top solution for corporations with under 1,000 employees. The software provider currently supports over 170 corporations worldwide on its suite of Talent Management Solutions, and continues to be recognized by analysts and publications as the Industry's fastest growing provider of Applicant Tracking Solutions.

"iCIMS is delighted to have the opportunity to work with Columbia House and to see the ROI impact that the Talent Platform has had and continues to have within their organization", says Colin Day President & CEO of iCIMS. "Columbia House and iCIMS worked very closely together during implementation, in order to make the recruitment and retention vision set forth by Columbia House a reality. We look forward to continuing our support of Columbia House's Talent Management needs in the months and years to come.
