This software is among the 14 technologies receiving the mentioned designation. This yearly program that is being organized by HR Executive and HR Tech, has as its purpose the identification of HR technologies introduced during the last year. The technologies recognized within this event have to correspond to changing requirements for workers and companies.
AI-Powered Talent Sourcing for Enterprise Recruiting
ICIMS keeps moving forward to expand its Intelligent Hiring Platform through the hiring process. The platform relies on more than 25 years of hiring experience. It also utilizes billions of hiring transactions to give more insights into hiring.
The ICIMS Sourcing Agent leverages existing talent information to help in identifying and matching suitable candidates. It can also engage candidates for vacant jobs. As such, recruiters can be able to find suitable candidates fast without performing redundant sourcing activities.
However, enterprise-level recruiting teams have been under a lot of pressure to enhance the speed and quality of their hiring processes. At the same time, applications keep increasing in most companies. According to a survey by ICIMS and Aptitude Research, about 74% of organizations employ AI in HR. Also, 69% of firms employ AI in talent acquisition. Nevertheless, only 12% of organizations have implemented agentic AI in recruitment processes. The ICIMS Sourcing Agent solves this problem by undertaking repetitive tasks of sourcing and reaching out to candidates.
It is available on the ICIMS Candidate Experience Management (CXM) platform and helps in discovering, matching, and reaching out to candidates via email communication. Recruiting teams can enable it at the job level, using a conversational interface. This agent can help to rediscover high-potential candidates that already exist in the database of the organization. Candidates may include silver medalists, previous applicants, and candidates in dormancy.
This agent can also help in matching qualified candidates with open positions. Moreover, it facilitates personalized outreach via authorized messages and templates. Administrator control over the agent’s autonomy and execution is essential in the process.
“The ICIMS Sourcing Agent gives our customers a clear view of where we are taking hiring and what is possible when AI can do more than generate recommendations,” said Eric Connors, chief product officer, ICIMS. “Recruiting teams have spent years building valuable talent pools, and now they can put that talent to work continuously, finding strong candidates, allowing sourcers and recruiters to elevate to talent advisors and keeping hiring moving faster. This is the kind of intelligence we are bringing across the hiring journey, based on our decades of focus on talent acquisition and unique foundation of hiring data, where AI can understand the context of the work and take action, while people remain in control. We are honored to be recognized by this prestigious program for the momentum we are building.”
Paul Wilson, judge and Editor-in-Chief at HR Executive, said, “The HR technology market continues to mature, and this year’s Top HR Products reflect that. There’s a growing focus on tangible outcomes—helping employers simplify complex processes, make better decisions, support their employees in real time and navigate rapidly changing business conditions.”
The ICIMS Sourcing Agent will come to be joined by the ICIMS Hiring Agent and the ICIMS Interview Scheduling Agent that will follow. The ICIMS Sourcing Agent will be launched by ICIMS at HR Tech in Las Vegas and UNLEASH World in Paris, highlighting the capabilities of the platform for enterprise hiring.
