SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZipRecruiter®, a leading online employment marketplace, today announced a new applicant tracking system (ATS) integration with iCIMS, a leading provider of talent acquisition (TA) technology, to help enterprises improve the recruitment experience and hire talent faster. ZipRecruiter has joined the iCIMS Apply Network, an integrated ecosystem of job sites and partners, to help standardize and streamline the job application process. The new embedded integration gives TA teams the ability to create, manage, and distribute job openings to ZipRecruiter—providing them access to over 12M job seekers weekly1—without leaving the iCIMS ATS.
