Practical ideas, real-world stories, and smart strategies for HR tech success.
Tired of hunting for the right dashboard panel in iCIMS? Try naming panels with a login group prefix (like (HRBP)) and a number to keep them organized and easy to find. This method simplifies panel management, improves visibility, and helps you control display order with less guesswork.
Interview scheduling in iCIMS can be handled in several ways—Compose Email, Legacy Interview Scheduling, Legacy Interview Management, or the newer Interview Scheduling module. This guide explains how to identify which setup your system uses, outlines key features of each option, and shares links to embedded training for faster, more confident adoption.
Want quick access to your iForms without digging through candidate profiles? Create a dashboard panel with direct links to each form. Just request the URLs from iCIMS HelpDesk, then build a text panel with clickable links. It’s a simple way to streamline form management across workflows and user types.
Instead of saving over shared outputs, create reusable templates with your most-used columns and groupings. Use them as starting points for new reports to save time, maintain consistency, and reduce errors. It’s faster to delete what you don’t need than to rebuild from scratch every time.
Need to share a private iCIMS report with just one user? Temporarily assign them the User Admin role, create the custom panel while logged in as them, then revert their access. This allows them to see the panel without it appearing for others in their login group—perfect for sensitive or ad hoc reporting.
