Sort through candidate data from your ATS using SeekOut's powerful search engine and filters. Your iCIMS data is mirrored within SeekOut every day, and SeekOut enriches your data with social links, work history, and education. iCIMS Stage and Status filters are available in a collapsible search menu.
Setting up the iCIMS Integration
Before You Begin
Note Please contact your Customer Success Manager or [email protected] so we can coordinate your integration setup.
Whitelist IP Addresses

Accessing Integrations
Click your name at the bottom left of the SeekOut dashboard, then select Integrations.

On the Integrations page, click + Add a Connection to open the list of applicants tracking systems. If you've set up an integration with SeekOut before, your current integrations will be listed on this page. Click the plus sign + at the top of the page to open the ATS list.
Connecting to iCIMS
On the Integrations page, click + Add a Connection. Locate iCIMS from the list of integrations and click the Connect button.
Note: If you have set up an integration previously, click the + next to the list of integrations at the top of the page to open the Add a Connection pop-up.

On the Credentials tab, enter your Stream ID.
Click Submit to save your credentials. SeekOut will automatically attempt to verify your connection. When successful, iCIMS will appear at the top of your Integrations page with a green check mark.
Removing the Integration
On the Integrations page, click the arrow next to a connected integration to Edit or Remove the integration from your SeekOut account.
Data Import Process
After the integration is setup and passes validation, we will automatically start downloading, indexing, and matching your candidate and job data. Depending on the number of candidates and jobs, this can take several days.
Once the first full download is complete, the integration will periodically check your ATS and only download additional data when it detects a change. Depending on how many changes are detected, the update process can vary in length from a few minutes to several hours
Connection Stages
Indexing...
The ATS is connected and SeekOut is indexing candidates from iCIMS into SeekOut. This process takes up to four hours. Not all candidates will be visible in the Your ATS tab during the Indexing phase.
Connected / Start ATS Search
Candidates have been indexed from iCIMS into SeekOut. Candidates can be viewed in the Your ATS tab. The index of iCIMS candidates is updated every four hours.
Click Start ATS Search to go to the Your ATS tab.
How to use iCIMS Rediscovery
ATS Insights
SeekOut aggregates candidate data from your ATS and displays interactive charts for diversity, location, current/previous company, job title, and much more. Hover your mouse over a row to see how many candidates share that data point and click on a row or use filters to refine your results even further.
Print & Export Insights
Click Print to print the current page. Use your browser's printer settings to select how many pages of data you wish to print.
Click Export to export the data on the current page to a spreadsheet. You can download it as an XLSX file or view it in Excel Online. The spreadsheet has information and charts (when applicable) for the following candidate data:
Location
Current Company
Current Title
Past Company
Past Title
Skills
Years of Experience
Years in Role
School
Degree
Major
Diversity
Industry
Company Size
Other (These are LinkedIn-specific fields)
Certifications
Languages
Groups
Interests
Honors/Awards
Matching
SeekOut uses the candidate's LinkedIn URL as the main identifier for matching their ATS profile to their SeekOut profile. If there is no LinkedIn URL found in the candidate's resume or job application, other pieces of information will be used to try to match the candidate including GitHub URLs, job history, education history, etc.
When a profile isn't matched, SeekOut will not enrich it with additional info. The profile will appear without a LinkedIn URL in the Your ATS tab. Only info mirrored from the ATS (including the resume) will be shown in the profile.
