Send the RIASEC (Holland Codes) from iCIMS in 10 minutes
Inside iCIMS Talent Cloud, RIASEC integrates with enterprise talent-mobility and internal-transfer programmes. iCIMS customers use RIASEC career-fit signaling to feed succession-planning models and identify readiness for role transitions within large organisations. The six-domain profile (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional) surfaces in iCIMS talent-development workflows to position candidates for high-readiness transitions. Enterprise HR teams leverage RIASEC cohort patterns to identify domain strengths and design targeted development programmes. The code framework is lightweight enough to surface on every candidate without friction, making it ideal for enterprise-scale internal-mobility initiatives.
Validity
RIASEC (Realistic-Investigative-Artistic-Social-Enterprising-Conventional) maps career-fit preferences. Predictive validity for role-fit and satisfaction is moderate (ρ ≈ .25); strongest use is career-guidance conversation, not screening.

Add the JobCannon iCIMS integration
From iCIMS admin settings, add JobCannon as an Assessment Partner. Paste your Basic Auth credentials (sandbox first, production after the first test cycle). One-time setup, takes 3 minutes.
- 2
Create a iCIMS scorecard mapped to RIASEC (Holland Codes) dimensions
In your job template, create a scorecard section per RIASEC (Holland Codes) dimension. Each dimension maps 1:1 to a numeric attribute on the iCIMS scorecard — no provider-specific glue needed.
- 3
Trigger the RIASEC (Holland Codes) on the candidate's stage transition
Add "Send RIASEC (Holland Codes)" as an automatic action when candidates enter the assessment stage. The candidate receives a co-branded iCIMS email and completes the 10-minute form on mobile or desktop.
- 4
View the score envelope in the candidate profile
The full RIASEC (Holland Codes) score envelope (dimensions, bands, narrative summary) lands in the iCIMS candidate profile within 30 seconds of submission. Recruiters review without leaving iCIMS.
Sample score envelope
The exact JSON shape your iCIMS scorecard receives back. Every JobCannon assessment uses the same dimensions[].score envelope so ranking logic stays consistent across tests.

Frequently asked
When does iCIMS ship?+
Phase 1 roadmap target H2 2026.
Is RIASEC EEOC-defensible?+
RIASEC is defensible as a career-fit and role-positioning input. The moderate predictive-validity ceiling (~.25) means it should not anchor hire-decline decisions without other inputs.
How does RIASEC integrate with iCIMS talent-mobility?+
iCIMS admins map the six-domain profile and top-three codes to internal-transfer readiness rules. Succession-planning models consume the codes to identify readiness for role transitions.
How long does RIASEC take?+
Median 10 minutes on JobCannon's 42-item form.
Can I use RIASEC for all roles?+
Yes. RIASEC is role-agnostic and low-friction; iCIMS customers running enterprise mobility programmes include it as a universal screening.
Pricing?+
Free sandbox + 5 invitations/mo; Business tier $99/mo flat.
