Acquisition adds robust career sites, modern recruiting CRM, rich machine learning and end-to-end analytics to iCIMS’ portfolio
iCIMS, the market leader for cloud-based talent acquisition solutions, announced the acquisition of Jibe Inc., a state-of-the-art SaaS recruiting technology for sourcing, nurturing and marketing to candidates. Clients like Johnson & Johnson, Siemens and Comcast use Jibe to drive their front-end candidate experience, including Google-optimized career sites, as well as providing recruiters candidate relationship management (CRM) solutions enabled by machine learning to allow them to better target and nurture candidates through the talent funnel. Together, iCIMS and Jibe will enable employers to improve their recruiting effectiveness by promoting their employment brand, engaging passive talent, and measuring recruitment investments.
“The primary reason that organizations are falling behind in their talent acquisition efforts is that they do not have a mechanism for attracting and engaging the right individuals before they apply for a job,” said Madeline Laurano, founder of Aptitude Research Partners. “Together with Jibe, iCIMS gives organizations an advantage of having greater insights, a more consistent experience, and improved efficiency when competing for talent.”
