iCIMS, by contrast, feels outdated and is often frustrating for new users.
Customization without the headache

From branded career pages to unique hiring workflows, HiringThing makes it easy to tailor the platform to your process. No extra fees or long wait times.

With iCIMS, you’re more likely to need costly vendor help for even basic changes.
Integrate what you use

HiringThing plays well with your existing tech stack — from HRIS platforms to background checks — and offers open API access for developers.

iCIMS offers fewer connections and tends to charge extra for custom integrations.
Clear, honest pricing

Know what you’re paying for. HiringThing’s pricing is available up front with no surprises.

iCIMS makes you jump through sales hoops just to get a number.
Fast support you can count on

HiringThing is known for fast, personal support. Whether you’re onboarding or need help down the line, you’re never left waiting.

iCIMS, while large, has been reported to take longer to resolve issues.
Candidate experience that attracts talent

Your applicants deserve a smooth journey. HiringThing delivers mobile-optimized career sites and applications that reduce drop-off and improve engagement.

iCIMS often causes friction — especially on mobile.
“We continue to use HiringThing both internally and with our clients. Their team is responsive and always improving the experience.”
— Becky Free, HEAD OF TRAINING
Built to scale

HiringThing grows with you. Manage hiring for multiple locations with centralized visibility and control.

iCIMS can handle scale too — but it gets complicated and costly fast.
Start fast, hire smarter

Get up and running in days, not months. HiringThing offers guided onboarding and fast implementation, so your team sees ROI sooner.

iCIMS setups often take much longer.
Actionable insights

Track what matters — from source of hire to time to fill — with HiringThing’s easy-to-read dashboards. No need for data experts.

iCIMS reporting tools are powerful, but complex and harder to use.
