Good for some but not all!
- The system is intutive and easy for the recruiters to manager through reqs and candidates.
- The system has Gobal language capabilities.
- The sytem has integration posibilites with many different background vendors such as HireRight, and Talentwise.
- Kenexa does not integrate with other HCM's easily such as Workday.
- The support for Kenexa is not very good at all. It takes a long time to get tickets resolved and their tier one staff is not very knowledgeable.
- Their Social Source product was a waste of money. It is very time consuming for recruiters to manage.
- One positive is the reporting feature and being able to pull OFCCP reports easily.
- One negative is we failed internal audits because we were not integrated with our current HCM and there was not a smooth data flow all the way until the candidate was hired.
- We did like that the recruiters could source out of the system.

Is Kenexa 2XB the Right ATS for Your Recruitment Team?
- 2XB is SaaS and it is up and running most of the time. Performance is usually good and there is only very minimal downtime.
- 2XB allows corporate recruiters to work the way they want to work. It provides a clear snapshot of everything on the recruiter's "desk": what there is to do now, what there is to do later, and what can be ignored.
- 2XB can handle companies/organizations of various sizes including the very largest and handles multi-site, multi-countries well.
- The GUI has undergone several major revisions since I first used it in '03. It is far from Windows compliant. As the market transitions away from pure Windows compliance, now is the time to redesign and bring the UI up-to-date.
- Reporting is very poor. A redesign of the reporting engine to use modern technologies is needed.
- There is little that the user can do to customize their experience other than moving columns around, adding and deleting columns, and rearranging the landing page. This should be addressed when architecting the new UI.
- The implementation of 2XB that I use has no social media integration that I'm aware of. However, Kenexa has announced Release 13: Social media integration and mobile functionality are at the top of the holiday wish list of recruiters this year. Just in time for the holidays, we’re excited to roll out Release 13 of Kenexa 2x BrassRing. Highlights of the release include expanded functionality for social, mobile, on-demand video interviewing, SMS/Text Messaging, user interface advances and candidate relationship management. No idea if that's vaporware or not but at least they are headed in the right direction.
- Easy to use to quickly screen applicants and submit them to managers. This is key in any recruitment organization.
- While very powerful, 2XB takes considerable time for new users to learn and to become proficient. There are many blind alleys for the uninitiated to get lost in.
- Complete lack of integration with MS Outlook leads to double work and associated inefficiencies.
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- It's super easy to review resumes of applicants in the requisition folder. Both text and pdf versions are available.
- It's easy to follow the workflow and push candidates through the process.
- Search is easy and very configurable although the interface is proprietary and must be learned and understood for best results.
- Reporting, while it can be done, isn't intuitive and relies on ancient technology.
- The dashboard is pretty much lipstick on a pig. Total redesign of the UI is needed.
- Requisition formatting has never worked correctly. It is possible to use but requires too much attention to detail for most users.
