The first contact was a request to take an assessment and behavioral questionnaire. Standard fare, except you were required to record yourself staring into the monitor while doing so. Not a great sign that they already can't trust prospective employees and they're an organization helping businesses find talent.
Next was a HR interview, followed immediately by a second interview request, followed immediately by a third interview request. Then complete silence and lack of reply for two weeks.
For an organization in the talent industry, this was a particularly odd experience.
Interviews were also severely one sided and consisted largely of being asked questions with no time to ask any of the interviewer.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at iCIMS (Denver, CO) in Apr 2021
Interview
Pretty run of the mills interview questions and review of experience. Spent time with manger and VP of support reviewing my experience and thoughts to improve the organization. Overall a good experience.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at iCIMS
Interview
The interview process lasted approximately seven weeks and consisted of six interviews plus the personality/aptitude test. The initial interview was the phone screen with the recruiter and the rest were via zoom. Everyone was super friendly, engaging and asked great questions. I came out of every conversation more and more excited about the possibility of joining. Their enthusiasm regarding working at iCIMS and the path forward was what sold it for me!
