SkillSurvey review

SkillSurvey’s identity is unclear from the material available. Its customer login points to an iCIMS recruiting platform, while the homepage mainly describes iCIMS products. Reddit discussions associate SkillSurvey with automated reference checks: candidates submit reference details, and references receive surveys to complete. The homepage does not explain SkillSurvey’s own product in detail, so we would not treat the broader iCIMS feature list as a confirmed description of SkillSurvey.

The pricing information we found is low-confidence and lists custom pricing by quote. It gives no starting price, plan prices, billing terms, or published plan limits. That leaves buyers with two basic questions to settle with iCIMS: which product they are purchasing, and what it will cost. If you are evaluating SkillSurvey specifically, ask for a product-level demo and a written quote rather than assuming the iCIMS homepage describes the package.

The clearest potential strength is the broader iCIMS recruiting lineup described on the homepage. If SkillSurvey customers can access these products as part of their agreement, iCIMS lists tools across several hiring stages:

• Applicant tracking: iCIMS Hire is described as an applicant tracking system.
• Text recruiting and onboarding: Both are listed as features of iCIMS Hire.
• High-volume hiring: iCIMS lists this as a new offering.
• Sourcing: iCIMS Engage builds automated sourcing and nurture campaigns.
• Employer branding: The listed tools include career sites, a digital assistant, and video testimonials.

That is a broad set of capabilities for organizations comparing recruiting platforms, but the available description does not confirm which are included with SkillSurvey or whether they are sold separately. Reddit discussions also indicate that SkillSurvey can collect reference surveys through a candidate-led process. That may reduce the need to arrange individual calls, though we found no official details here on workflow controls, reporting, integrations, or how employers use the results. Treat the iCIMS features as context, not proof of what a SkillSurvey purchase includes.

The main weakness is the lack of clear product and price information. The homepage emphasizes iCIMS recruiting products without explaining SkillSurvey itself in detail. Pricing is listed as custom by quote, with no published monthly or annual terms, starting price, plan names beyond “Custom,” or plan caps. Buyers cannot compare its cost or included limits from the available information.

The candidate-side reports also point to friction. In one Reddit thread, users complained about lengthy surveys and the effort of finding several references; one described a five-page form, while another poster said an offer depended on providing seven references. A commenter said a reference could not be removed after an email was entered and reported repeated reminders. These are individual accounts, not confirmed product-wide rules. Another Reddit discussion includes a user saying the system checks IP addresses and a hiring manager saying duplicate addresses could affect a decision; that does not establish how SkillSurvey flags or handles shared networks. Ask iCIMS about reference counts, reminders, editing or deleting contacts, and fraud-review rules before rollout.

SkillSurvey pricing is not published. The available pricing information lists one option, Custom, with pricing by quote via iCIMS; it gives no monthly or annual price and no billing unit. That means there’s no published tier jump to compare, and you’ll need a quote to know the cost.

The pricing information does not list add-ons. That is not confirmation that iCIMS has no paid extras; ask which products, services and fees are included in the quote. Monthly and annual billing terms are also not published, so confirm the contract term, payment schedule and renewal terms before agreeing.

There’s another catch: the SkillSurvey customer login points to an iCIMS recruiting platform, while the homepage mainly describes iCIMS products. The available information does not clearly define what a SkillSurvey quote covers. Ask iCIMS to identify the exact product and features in writing before comparing its price with another recruiting tool.

We can’t estimate migration effort from the available product information. SkillSurvey’s customer login points to an iCIMS recruiting platform, but the homepage focuses on iCIMS products and does not explain SkillSurvey’s own product boundaries. The available information also does not say what data can be exported, which systems it connects to, or whether iCIMS supports imports from another provider. Get those details in writing before planning a move.

Reddit users report friction with reference checks, which may be a reason to reconsider the product. That is a user-reported concern, not proof that every customer will run into it. Before switching, ask how reference-check records and other account data can be exported, what happens to them when service ends, and whether there are contract or cancellation requirements. Those terms are not published in the published information.

If you’re evaluating iCIMS already, clarify whether SkillSurvey is a distinct product or part of the platform you’re considering. Without that answer, it’s hard to compare migration scope or price.
