MATAWAN, N.J., Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- iCIMS, Inc., a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) talent acquisition software solutions for growing businesses, reports record results for the fourth quarter and year ended on December 31, 2014.  For the fourth quarter of 2014, revenue increased 36% compared with the same period in 2013, and revenue for the full year of 2014 increased more than 35% compared with revenue for 2013.  As a result, iCIMS is now the second-largest provider of talent acquisition software in the United States for U.S. companies with 100 or more employees.

The year was full of accolades with iCIMS earning nearly 20 national and international awards for company growth and leadership; customer service; product innovation; and company culture. iCIMS was named a national Best Place to Work by Glassdoor, Inc. and appeared on the Inc. 5000 List of America's Fasted Growing Companies for the ninth consecutive year. iCIMS also ranked as the 18^th Fastest Growing Company and 15^th Best Place to Work in New Jersey by NJBIZ and earned the American Business Awards' Silver Stevie® Award for "Customer Service Department of the Year."

2014 Highlights Include:

• Revenue increased more than 35% compared to 2013.
• With the addition of 865 new customers in 2014 including Greenpeace, The San Diego Padres, Comcast, and Covenant Care California, LLC, iCIMS supports more than 2,500 customers across businesses of all sizes, industries and geographies.
• An increase of 35% in employee count with an expectation to add approximately 125 more employees in 2015.
• The appointment of Michael Wilczak, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development; Russell Mikowski, Vice President, Sales; and Al Smith, Vice President of Technology, to iCIMS' Leadership Team.

In December 2014, beta testing began for iCIMS' newest and most impactful software release to date, version 14.2. Centered on the "Suite Architecture" concept, the product updates are logically designed to maximize a recruiter's ability to attract and screen best-fit talent. Highlighted features include a lighter, brighter, more modern user interface and a new scheduling and calendaring integration that enables customers to book all internal and external resources at once and review free time. A simple, easy-to-use layout is now intuitively organized with Tools to Broadcast and Tools to Screen tabs, opening up an opportunity to better educate customers on iCIMS' products and partner offerings.

"There's no doubt that the talent acquisition industry has shifted, and iCIMS is well-poised to succeed from that shift," said iCIMS Chief Executive Officer, Colin Day. "With the wide embrace of social, video, and mobile technologies amongst employers and the number of clients moving away from Human Capital Management (HCM) suites in favor of best-to-market suites, I feel we have the wind at our backs for 2015. We have been careful to stay true to our pure SaaS philosophy and focus on what we do best – helping companies of all sizes find best-fit talent– and the results speak for themselves."
