HOLMDEL, N.J. [February 12, 2019] – iCIMS, the leading provider of best-in-class talent acquisition solutions, surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2018.

To help our customers find the best candidates and improve how they spend their advertising dollars, we are introducing recruitment marketing and programmatic advertising solutions. We will also be making it easier for candidates to manage all of their iCIMS job applications and regain control of their personal data.”

iCIMS’ roadmap for 2019 includes:

• Introducing new products and upgrades to improve candidates’ experience by:

o   Applying machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence so job seekers can more easily find opportunities on iCIMS career sites;

o   Improving the visibility of clients’ posted job positions with Google for Jobs, delivering a better candidate experience; and
