Applicant tracking system provider iCims acquired Candidate.ID, a provider of marketing automation software for talent acquisition based in Glasgow, Scotland.

The company said Candidate.ID will enable its customers to “know” and qualify talent better with lead scoring.

Examples of Candidate.ID’s functionality include:

  • The ability to source candidates from multiple job boards as well as clients’ existing ATS/CRM databases.
  • Enables clients to schedule and distribute marketing content by email, SMS and social media to candidates and track clicks to generate an engagement score.
  • Candidates can be tracked to monitor interaction with clients’ corporate website, social media, email opens and other actions.

“From my time leading Marketo, I know firsthand the transformational power of marketing automation,” iCims CEO Steve Lucas said. “We’re the first company to bring that power at scale to the world of recruiting with Candidate.ID.”

Candidate.ID was founded in 2016 by Adam Gordon and Scot McRae.

“When we started Candidate.ID five years ago, we were on a mission to solve real recruitment challenges with marketing automation software,” said Gordon, CEO at Candidate.ID. “Our marketing workflows automatically adapt with every candidate click to deliver unique, personalized experiences, while generating data which enables recruiters to be more productive.”
