In this guide, we'll learn how to reset your password on a company's career site that uses iCIMS. As a candidate, accessing your account is essential for viewing job applications and applying for new positions. We'll cover the steps to reset your password, ensuring you can regain access without being locked out due to multiple failed attempts. This process involves using the "Forgot Your Password?" link, receiving a reset email, and creating a new password that meets specific requirements.

Let's get started

Hello. This video will show candidates how to reset their password for a company's career site using iCIMS. As a candidate, you can log into a company's career site to view your current job applications or apply for more jobs. To do this, click the "Log Back In" link at the top right corner of the career site.

Step #1: Click the 'Log back in' link at the top right corner of the career site. — Click the 'Log back in' link at the top right corner of the career site.

On the login screen, enter your username or email address and password to sign in.

If I type the wrong password, I'll receive an error message.

Step #5: Click the 'Login' button. — Click the 'Login' button.

After several incorrect attempts at entering the username or password, the system will lock me out for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, each subsequent attempt will lock me out for a longer period. Instead of locking yourself out, iCIMS suggests using the password reset option if you don't know your password.

To reset your password, click on "Forgot Your Password?"

Step #6: Click the 'Forgot your password?' link. — Click the 'Forgot your password?' link.

Link. I am now on a screen where I can enter the email address to receive the password reset email. I will enter the email associated with my account.

If you're unsure which email address is linked to your account, try using the one on your resume.

After clicking "Reset Password," a screen appears, notifying me that an email will be sent to the email account I provided.

Step #10: Click the 'Reset Password' button. — Click the 'Reset Password' button.

If you don't receive an email within five minutes, check your junk, clutter, or spam folders. The message might have been filtered out by your email provider.

I received an email from the company stating that I have an account and providing a link to reset the password.

Step #12: Click the email from 'ICIMS @ icims' with the subject 'Password Reset from ICIMS' in your inbox. — Click the email from 'ICIMS @ icims' with the subject 'Password Reset from ICIMS' in your inbox.

Step #13: Click the password reset link provided in the email body. — Click the password reset link provided in the email body.

I will click the link, which will take me to a new page prompting me to change my password.

Like other logins, your iCIMS password has specific requirements. The minimum requirements are eight characters. This must include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number.

You might also need to include a symbol. As I type, the system indicates which password requirements I have not yet met.

After typing, a check mark appears, confirming that all requirements are met.

Now, retype the same password in the New Password field.

Finally, I'll click "Create Password."

Step #17: Click the 'Create Password' button. — Click the 'Create Password' button.

Step #18: Click the 'Create Password' button. — Click the 'Create Password' button.

After clicking "Create Password," I'm taken to the career site's dashboard. Here, I can see jobs I've applied to, update my profile, and view current job opportunities.

That's all you need to do to reset your password. Thank you for your attention. Have a great day.
