Before you go-live with the system, iCIMS will give you time to test the configurations made to the Talent Platform and ensure that they accurately reflect your workflow needs. Your users will then be trained on the configured system with consideration to how your organization will be using the iCIMS Talent Platform to manage your unique hiring process.+ What kind of support and training can I expect to receive during the implementation process and after we go live with the system?
