What do you like best about iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference?

The ability for Skillsurvey to keep track, as a single source of truth, the saved reference contact information and results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference?

There are quite a few emails to members of my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference:

SkillSurvey will save you time and effort! Spend time in the beginning learning all of the capabilities and it will become irreplaceable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before SkillSurvey, we only reached out to some candidate references and certainly did not chase them down until they answered. With skillsurvey, a "gentle reminder" approach has increased our responses tenfold, while hardly increasing our time spent setting up the references at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference?

I like that SkillSurvey involves the new hire in their own reference check process. It's no longer having to call people, and it can be done by the reference conveniently at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference?

Once reports are finalized, it's a little hard to view the report easily. It seems like it should be more present or obvious, because it seems hidden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference:

If you're looking for an easy and detailed way to view past work experiences, SkillSurvey is a great resource for your team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference solving and how is that benefiting you?

One problem is that a new hire said that the emails sent to references looked like spam, so they didn't trust it. But I'd say the benefit of having a professional, detailed report available quickly is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That the reviews are anonymous and quite frankly, VERY candid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference solving and how is that benefiting you?

Honestly, we never checked references to the level we should have previously because it was so time consuming. Now we are getting a good look at candidates that are serious, and for the candidates that are not serious; they dont submit references, and eliminate themselves quite efficiently.
