iCIMS, a leading talent acquisition software company trusted by the world’s best brands, today announced it has been named “AI-based Human Resources Solution of the Year” in the eighth annual AI Breakthrough Awards. Recognizing iCIMS for the second consecutive year, this prestigious marketing intelligence organization awards the most innovative artificial intelligence (AI) products, companies and technologies around the world.
According to iCIMS research, 22% of HR leaders rank AI as their top priority for TA. Yet, it is the top challenge keeping them up at night. As organizations evaluate solutions that can deliver both immediate impact and long-term scalability that meets their hiring needs, iCIMS stands out with a comprehensive, innovative AI platform that is purpose-built and embedded across the entire talent experience—no integration required.
By embedding AI in the places where it can have the most impact, iCIMS AI helps enterprise organizations surface top-matching applicants for a role, find top-tier candidates and suggest relevant roles for candidates. iCIMS customers using its award-winning AI solutions hire three times as fast as those not using iCIMS AI Talent Explorer, empowering talent teams to adopt and scale hiring with speed, intelligence and confidence.
“AI continues to reshape the hiring landscape, talent acquisition teams need partners who can help them navigate these shifts with clarity and confidence,” said Lisa Fiondella, SVP of platform, data and AI, iCIMS. “At iCIMS, we’re developing cutting-edge AI that supports, not replaces, the people at the heart of hiring. As the future of work evolves, we’re committed to building technology that is grounded in real-world needs, grows with our customers and amplifies human decision-making, keeping teams agile and competitive.”
This year, iCIMS has built upon its longstanding journey with AI by introducing innovations and earning continued market validation:
- iCIMS became the first enterprise recruiting software provider to obtain TrustArc’s TRUSTe Responsible AI Certification, reinforcing its commitment to delivering responsible AI that is trustworthy, transparent, explainable and fair.
- Fosway Group, Europe’s #1 HR analyst firm, named iCIMS a Strategic Leader for the fourth consecutive year for its AI innovation and product sophistication that are above market average.
- This month, iCIMS launched its Summer Release, delivering customer-inspired AI capabilities that empower TA teams to source more effectively, create SEO-optimized content and translate career site experiences in seconds.
- Last month, iCIMS announced its new fleet of agents designed to accelerate the entire recruiting lifecycle. The first agent will become available in Q3 2025.
“iCIMS cuts through the noise with trusted, purpose-built AI designed specifically to solve real recruiting challenges. The competition for talent is tough, and TA teams need a way to quickly and easily evaluate resumes and prescreen candidates. Though AI is revolutionizing this process, most solutions are fragmented, generic offerings or bolt-on tools,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, AI Breakthrough. “iCIMS delivers a unified, end-to-end experience. From orchestrating personalized campaigns with AI-powered segmentation, to real-time candidate engagement via iCIMS Digital Assistant, this platform empowers recruiters to scale personalization, reduce friction and unlock smarter, faster hiring.”
