iCIMS, who was recently included in our “Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management” report recently announced that it surpassed the 600 client mark. iCIMS, which started as a Talent Acquisition Systems provider has expanded its offerings over the years to offer such Talent Management functionality as Performance, Onboarding, and Competencies and has other modules planned.
In yet another indication of how hot the Human Capital Management (HCM) marketplace is, iCIMS announced last month some new marketing initiatives and global expansions. iCIMS specifically mentioned increased spending and hiring within sales and marketing and indicated they hope to triple their internal sales force over the next twelve months. iCIMS also announced plans for a new office in the U.K., recognizing the increased interest and need in globalization that Talent Management vendors are salivating over. As I wrote earlier this week about how hot this market is, this move is good for the industry as a whole.
HRchitect, a vendor neutral consulting company, has been impressed with iCIMS as a well run company and its iRecruiter application for years. We have also felt they are a good acquisition target and will continue to be with the continued consolidation that is predicted to taking place in the HCM marketplace.
Solving a piece of the puzzle…
