Recommended Connections based on iCIMS Recruit recommends connections based on:
• Job keywords
• Job locations
Job keywords match to skills, Job location, Keyword search by userWe don't offer recommendations because: It is overly intrusive to ask employees for "access" to their friends - sensitivity to this information drives them to opt out. Also, by only targeting specific contacts you are not exposing the jobs to other friends who may know of the perfect candidates within their own circles. Finally, profiling is limited to LinkedIn.Job keywords match to skills, Job location, AI Matching LogicJob keywords match to skills, Job location, Keyword search by user, Employee verificationJob keywords match to skills, Job location, Keyword search by user, Employee search by name, compeny, location, skill, Competitors (specified by client), Individual keywords specified by clientRecommendations SystemsKeyword search by user, social connectionsJob keywords match to skills, Job location, Keyword search by user, Competitor Companies, Educational QualificationsJob keywords match to skills, Job location, Keyword search by user, Competitors, Universities

GamificationiCIMS Recruit includes:
• Recommended jobs
• Recommended friends
• Social profile single sign-on
• Top referrers
• Application-generator metrics
• Referral activity
Can reward on any binding datapoint. Deep integrations with ATS allow company to create challenges based on candidate, location of job, type of job, where the job is being sent through socially. System also allows to create hidden challenges upon unlocking certain milestones and/or leveraging certain features. Whilst earlier versions of GooodJob's employee referral solution offered a gamification module, it was soon apparent that for larger companies (over 500 employees) it was a nightmare for them to manage from a fulfillment perspective.
The challenge surrounding employee referrals is regarding engagement and participation of employees.
By providing employees a branded mobile application that allows employees to refer from their devices, GooodJob's clients have found they have significantly boosted participation without having to introduce complicated and unmanageable reward structures.

Anticipate extended gamification throughout 2014
~ Automated leaderboards of top referrers by location or department, sent out via email and within referral portal
~ Social recognition of all employees participated in program with user specified time period
~ Matching actvity with micro-reward (think tinder for referred canddiates)
~ Point system to fit around existing internal structure
~ Random distribution of microrewards for participation (probability based)
Gamified Leaderboard across main verticalsWe have a leaderboard that enables employees to earn points every time they make a referral or share a job or their referral moves ahead in the referral process. The milestones that need to be assigned points can be ascertained by the managers.

Which activities need to be assigned how many points can be configured by the Managers.

Based on the points employees are given ranks and badges. The leaderboard is visible to all employees of the organization.
Multiple gamification features including missions, leaderboards, badges, achievements, including reports per department and location as well as global / regional segmentation
