Consistent application workflow has reduced my submission time and made repetitive forms manageable
The best features iCIMS Recruit offers make it straightforward, and since I have seen many of the same questions between different companies, it makes filling out the job application quite quick. The process is especially easy and user-friendly in the way it uploads resumes, along with some of the standardized questions about demographics, gender, race, veteran status, and disability. iCIMS Recruit has positively impacted my experience as a job applicant by making it faster and less stressful. Sometimes you go through other types of job applications and are left wondering what they are looking for, and when I see it is iCIMS Recruit, it makes things pretty simple because I can anticipate the questions. It saves me at least a good half hour compared to other application systems.

Reliable and loaded with features, but the UI is outdated
The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically. When I give a new employee, aged 19 and recently graduated, the solution, they are not enthused to use it on a daily basis. Ramco HCM looks outdated and is not as intuitive as it should be. I want to create an easier experience for new generations who come to work with me, with fewer scrolls, clicks, and pages to navigate. The optimization should be available with the minimum number of clicks. This is why I believe UI/UX is the most important element. I would love to see an intuitive web interface for the app, which would enable each user to easily manage and govern their data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution offers good customization and good dashboards."
"iCIMS Recruit has positively impacted my experience as a job applicant by making it faster and less stressful."
"Over time, I've seen them build on their platform, make improvements, enhance the user experience, and continue to gather feedback for improvement from end users."
"It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"It is a complete HCM suite from hire to retire that streamlines business requirements."
"It is a time-saving solution, saving a lot of time for our clients by eliminating manual errors in salary calculations and removing the need for a help desk team through its chatbot that instantly handles employee queries about payslips, leave balance, and holidays."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
"If the implementation is without modification for any of the modules, it’s really simple using their QiK tool; the implementation takes around 2-3 months to go live."
"The performance management system is really good."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
 

Cons

"If reporting could be more robust, that would be phenomenal."
"iCIMS Recruit could be improved by adding a block to explain certain things."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"There were so many bugs in the older releases."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there."
"It can improve on the Comp Off and On Duty leave management process and can include real time Google Maps instead of geo-tagging to track the real location of employees."
"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system."
