HAZLET, N.J. (December 15, 2009) –  iCIMS, the third largest provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) talent acquisition solutions, announced today that Henry Ford Health Systems has selected the iCIMS Talent Platform to support its talent management needs. Henry Ford joins more than 30 other healthcare organizations that have migrated to the iCIMS Talent Platform in 2009 alone. This includes such notable additions as Cooper University Hospital, Visiting Nurse Associations, MedAssurant, Alexian Brothers Health System and Bayada Nurses.

Currently supporting the talent management initiatives of more than 750 worldwide organizations, iCIMS enables organizations to manage their end-to-end employee lifecycle within one easy-to-use system. In addition to taking advantage of such superior candidate management features as applicant tracking, on-boarding, employee referrals, and workforce planning, iCIMS’ clients benefit from such enhanced employee management tools as performance management, employee data management, employee surveys and more. iCIMS offers healthcare organizations a highly configurable solution that is powerful enough to meet their talent management needs today, yet flexible enough to evolve with their future organizational needs.

“Henry Ford Health System needed to identify an ATS that could grow with our company over the coming years,” said Scott Clatur, Manager of Talent Sourcing and Selection Strategies at Henry Ford Health Systems. “One of the key factors in finding this ATS partner was to identify a system that could think and act like a recruiter.”

The influx of healthcare organizations partnering with iCIMS is reflective of the Talent Platform’s ability to support the industry’s specialized recruitment needs. Business leaders within the industry cite the cost-effectiveness of a single-platform as well as iCIMS’ inherent flexibility and scalability as key factors in their decision to implement the Talent Platform.

“After carefully reviewing multiple ATS vendors, iCIMS was selected based on its ease of use, flexibility, and because they provided a solution that allowed us to integrate our entire hiring process online,” continued Scott. “We did not want an ATS telling us what our process should look like; we wanted to identify a technology partner that would make our vision a reality. And iCIMS was able to do just that!”

The Talent Platform’s inherent flexibility enables Healthcare organizations to manage multiple hiring types within a core solution. Streamlining both salaried and hourly hiring processes within a single platform is a cost effective alternative to purchasing, implementing and training users on multiple systems. Moreover, iCIMS’ highly configurable Talent Platform helps Healthcare organizations attract and hire a variety of candidate types, including nurses, interns, administrative staff, part-time workers and more. In addition to streamlining the industry’s traditionally high volume, paper-intensive recruitment processes, iCIMS’ advanced iForm technology offers the convenience of a fully automated, paper-free system.

The Talent Platform’s inherent configurability coupled with its unparalleled customer support offerings made it the solution of choice for Henry Ford Health Systems and more than 90 Healthcare organizations worldwide.
