Working with IRD

I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with several of the IRD consultants, and each interaction has been outstanding. They’re always eager to help—whether it’s coming up with creative solutions to my questions or walking me through process-related topics on the iCIMS platform.

The IRD team is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also friendly, engaging, and genuinely fun to work with. They’re total rock stars!

I also really enjoy the Friday SAI calls. Whether I’m asking questions or just listening in, I always walk away with something valuable. It’s consistently an informative and worthwhile way to wrap up the week.

Alex’s depth of knowledge was incredibly helpful as I shared goals for our Dashboard creation/optimization project.

He was encouraging, supportive, and inquisitive so we were able to cover a lot of ground in the four intensive sessions.

I never felt out of my league working alongside Alex, and my comfort level with the system grew leaps & bounds. Alex was patient with me, persistent with the system, and innovative with his solutions and suggestions.

Nicole Mullikin

Director, Global TA
Align Technology

I engaged Alex’s iCIMS technical services to support the development of critical system enhancements that were on our annual roadmap.

To sum up his work, Alex knocked it out of the park.

From Day 1, he sought to understand our current configurations (and the historical reasons the system was built that way) before making any changes.

He listened to our needs and integrated feedback from users and teammates along the way. What struck me in particular was his desire and willingness to obtain insights from other system users in spite of being the “expert.”

Alex is highly responsive and on more than one occasion made himself available during non-standard (U.S.) working hours to handle a crisis or provide training to global users at a time that was most convenient for them.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of Alex’s work but also his collegiality and teamwork. He integrated seamlessly into my team and his positive impact was notable within the first few weeks.

I am pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Alex and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a technical expert who truly understands the concept of customer service.

Kaitlyn has been a true success partner! She responds quickly and thoroughly to my inquiries and has the ability to predict the next question I’ll pose.

Her attention to detail is refreshing and I love her ability to manage us and keep a status on our requests. Our meetings are productive and efficient and she ties it all up with a bow.

Paul has been an invaluable partner to our organization as we improve our iCIMS system.

His technical skillset is (of course) strong, but his responsiveness and accessibility is what makes his partnership as successful as it is!

He truly is a partner in the trenches by your side!

Kaitlyn did a great job re-working our system configuration in iCIMS.

She provided helpful consultation and executed the system changes.

Our reports would not be accurate or possible without her.

I worked with Alex on an iCIMS implementation. Alex was the consultant on the client side of the project. He was an incredible partner to iCIMS.

Alex has extensive technical knowledge of the iCIMS Talent Cloud Platform.

He  was instrumental in assisting with creative ideas and solutions to meet the customer needs.

Alex developed and created extensive dashboards for the customer which were instrumental in their success of the project.

He supported the customer during testing and training roll out and was also critical during post go-live support fielding technical questions and providing excellent customer support.

Alex was a pleasure to work with and has excellent follow through on action items.

Any iCIMS customer would be fortunate to hire Alex as a consultant on their iCIMS project.

I really appreciated the 1:1 support since IRD was able to address my needs directly and efficiently.

This approach is quite effective when there are clear/specific needs.

Amy Zhang

Talent Acquistion Manager
UNFCU

I really appreciated the 1:1 support since IRD was able to address my needs directly and efficiently.

This approach is quite effective when there are clear/specific needs.

I appreciated that IRD modeled the steps for me in the first two sessions and then allowed me to “drive” the remaining two sessions.

The follow up notes after our first session are also great resources that I will most likely refer back to as I continue to work in the platform. Your deep understanding of iCIMS was impressive (“rcf3048”) and as a result, you asked very good questions during our sessions, forcing me to think differently about what I am trying to achieve.

I had very limited understanding of reporting so much has improved after the sessions, e.g., better understanding of job vs. recruiting workflow reports. Through our engagement, IRD helped me to build out reports for: EEO (Race/Gender), Internal Candidates, Source and Recruiting workflow. Grouping is still challenging but that’s just something I’ll need to continue to practice.

Creating dashboards was my primary need for this engagement. I understand better the relationship between reporting and dashboards and feel confident that I can create my own dashboards as needs arise. I also learned about the different types of dashboards that would be most effective, e.g. factoid, search preview, etc.

Alex is a talented and brilliant subject matter expert on applicant tracking technology.

I worked with him during a rapid 3 month large scale iCIMS implementation.
