iCIMS and HRchitect Announce Strategic Alliance

iCIMS, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, today announced the formation of a strategic alliance with HRchitect, a premier human capital management (HCM) consulting firm and the leader in applicant tracking systems (ATS) consulting and implementation. Under the terms of the partnership, HRchitect will consult with iCIMSí clients interested in integrating iRecruiterô, iCIMSí Web-based talent management and applicant tracking platform, with their existing back-office human resource management systems as well as other internally installed or hosted solutions.

iRecruiter is a flexible and highly configurable SaaS technology platform that enables users to efficiently manage their recruitment and hiring initiatives. Supporting more than 350 corporations around the world, including adidas, Tommy Hilfiger, XM Satellite Radio, Continental Airlines, and more, iCIMS has become one of the largest and fastest growing providers of talent management solutions in the industry. While iCIMS supports small businesses and Fortune 500/Global 2000 corporations on the iRecruiter platform, the organization is best known for its success supporting mid-sized companies between 1,000 and 10,000 employees.

ìAs the technology choices available to HR professionals evolve, particularly those geared towards the mid-market, it is vital for technology providers to develop platforms that work in-sync with third-party systemsî, noted Colin Day, president and CEO of iCIMS. ìMid-sized corporations rely heavily on best-of-breed providers as they develop a talent management infrastructure, so building interfaces between these solutions is often at a premium. iCIMSí alliance with a well-respected specialist like HRchitect offers yet another resource to help our clients address their developing talent management priorities.î

HRchitect has worked with clients and vendors on projects utilizing emerging technologies such as Java, XML, SSL, digital certificates, LDAP directory services and CORBA. There are many unique challenges involved in integrating internal systems with systems deployed in a hosted environment at an external data center. To address these challenges, HRchitect offers a full suite of services ranging from the creation of technical specifications for integration through development and testing of integration programs and strategies.

ìiCIMS has established themselves as one of the leading applicant tracking solutions providers in the space, while setting a high standard of excellence particularly within the mid-market,î said Matt Lafata, Director of Sales and Marketing at HRchitect. ìOver the past nine years, HRchitect has developed proprietary approaches, methodologies, tools and techniques to help corporations ensure successful implementation of HR technologies, as well as develop interfaces between these solutions within their existing HRIT environment. We look forward to our work with iCIMS as we build upon these strategies and help their valued clients maximize the return on their technology investment.î
