Recruiter at a recruiting/HR firm with 501-1,000 employees
Easy and straightforward to use, responsive support, but search capabilities could be more powerful
The search feature is useful, but it is also somewhat limited. In other ATS systems that I have used, you can really define your search well. You can enter multiple, different criteria for things that you are looking for. You can also enter how many years you need and enter a specific location. The Apploi solution doesn't offer those options. Any good ATS systems should really, really improve their search features, your ability to see what candidates match certain criteria. I think that that is really a key to any good applicant tracking system because that's what we're here for. We're trying to find our candidates and we're trying to get good candidates for the right jobs. The search feature could improve and they need a more robust candidate page. Sometimes candidate pages can have a lot of different information on there, and you have to dig through the notes for some of the information on Apploi. Making it a little bit more user-friendly and having more accessible information would be an improvement because when we're going through it, we just want to find all the information we need as quickly as possible.

Recruiting workflows have become organized and reporting now tracks candidate progress clearly
The ability to have a record of every touchpoint with a candidate makes my job easier in iCIMS Recruit. In recruiting, it can be easy to miss a step while moving through the workflow. iCIMS Recruit allows me to look within the candidate's record to see each step and where I am in the process, and it gives me the ability to identify when I haven't pushed a candidate to hiring manager review. This provides a good checkpoint to stop and take a pause. The best feature that iCIMS Recruit offers is the find candidates function. I use this feature by inputting the title of what I am looking for, the distance the person might live from the particular location, and how long they have been in the system, ranging from seven days up to ninety days. This function helps recruiters find passive candidates who have either been touched previously and are not recalled or have been touched by a previous team member but might still be interested in a new opportunity. Regarding finding better candidates, it is neutral; the candidate may be out of the job market. However, knowing which candidates in the system I have not explored and want to revisit is a great feature, making it useful overall. I appreciate that iCIMS Recruit has a robust training setup within the system, and I value how they update me with new trainings that might be coming up to give me a competitive edge on utilizing the system. iCIMS Recruit has impacted our organization positively through the reporting system. Beyond our leadership using the reporting system to track KPIs and metrics, I as a recruiter can also use the system to track my own KPIs and metrics to see where I stand regarding time to fill, average time to fill, how many hires I have had within a certain period of time, whether that is three months, six months, or a year. The ability to see these features and download these reports is very helpful.
