Today’s talent teams are strapped and dealing with recruiter burnout, inability to hire at scale and undelivered technology promises – all while needing to hire more quality candidates, faster than ever before. In fact, new iCIMS data shows that job openings are up 44%, while job applications are flat, compared to January 2021. This means fewer candidates are available to fill more open positions. At the same time, candidates expect more from prospective employers, including personalized communications that leverage modern tools like video, social media and text messaging. iCIMS is addressing these tough market conditions and new challenges customers are facing with continued innovation and cutting edge, advanced solutions in the end-to-end iCIMS Talent Cloud.
“From my time leading Marketo, I know firsthand the transformational power of marketing automation,” said Steve Lucas, CEO, iCIMS. “We’re the first company to bring that power at scale to the world of recruiting with Candidate.ID.”
With Candidate.ID, iCIMS customers will be able to “know” and qualify talent better with unique lead scoring, improve their efficiency by reengaging their existing database of candidates and deliver more at scale with automated, personalized recruitment marketing campaigns. By engaging the highest converting candidates at scale, talent acquisition teams can dramatically reduce their cost and time to fill key positions.

“When we started Candidate.ID five years ago, we were on a mission to solve real recruitment challenges with marketing automation software,” said Adam Gordon, CEO, Candidate.ID. “Our marketing workflows automatically adapt with every candidate click to deliver unique, personalized experiences, while generating data which enables recruiters to be more productive.
