What SkillSurvey is
SkillSurvey is a web-based service for employers and talent acquisition teams to collect and analyze feedback from references and employees. Its automated reference checks use job-specific surveys to gather feedback about candidate skills and behaviors, then provide reports with comments on strengths and areas for improvement. iCIMS says the survey library contains hundreds of job-specific questionnaires developed with industrial and organizational psychologists, and its product guide lists surveys in six languages. SkillSurvey Reference can help employers build a passive candidate database from references who opt in to hearing about career opportunities. The product also serves healthcare organizations with dedicated credentialing solutions, including physician credential verification. For iCIMS ATS users, reference-check results such as summaries, rating categories, and percentile rankings can appear in the ATS. Candidates and reference recipients can opt out of email or text communications, though doing so may affect their ability to use the services. The iCIMS Trust Center lists security and compliance resources including SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27701, and GDPR; some documents require permission. SkillSurvey was founded in 2001 and was based in Malvern, Pennsylvania when acquired in 2022. Pricing is on request.
