Hiring through Kenexa
The primary reason of still going with Kenexa is because we have been using it for quite some time now. And considering it is used by more than 30 countries, it makes the training and communication about Kenexa easy. Also purchasing this license for a longer period (3, 5 years) makes it very cost effective as well.
It stacks up well against Bullhorn CRM for candidate retrieval but not as streamlined or automated.

Decent ATS for smaller companies
SF ATS was not available at the time and Taleo was thought to be too expensive. In retrospect, given the amount of customization and leveraging of other vendor technology for things like analytics I suspect any cost advantage we realized evaporated.

Kenexa -A defective HR system
Score 2 out of 10

Kenekxa removes the CV's after 90 days even when the recruitment process for the position is still in progress so you basically have have a situations where the CV put up by a consultant is automatically removed without any information to Client or Consultant and that candidate gets selected for the same position/job requirement through some other consultant after 90 days. It Happened 3 times with us for senior positions during the last three years.There are no check and balances and definately no application of mind.These is also no
Human Interface to handle your Queries.PS- I am still hunting for the clause in their website which says CV's will be removed after 90 days.

Good for some but not all!
- Kenexa
I have used PeopleSoft eRecruit which was horrible and didn't give the recruiters the ability to source for candidates inside the system. We just implemented Workday Recruit in the last month and it has many functionality deficincies right now but it is a new product and they are working diligently to improve the system. In the end it will be a better system because of the mobile functionality and the fact that is one system with our HCM will help us in the long run.

The ins & outs of the Kenexa assessment
- Assess
We recently started using Assess for our Food Service and Area Managers and the results have not been as accurate as Kenexa. We have since made some bad hires off the results of Assess, we have had one particular Area Manager that scored in the "Best" category and her behavior on the job did not correlate at all with her test scores. Though the test breaks each section down with a little bit more detail, I have found it difficult to interpret and provide feedback to candidates because some categories didn't have a scale that's easily interpreted.

Truly awful product, even worse support
Kenexa fares very poorly in practice against almost anything else. It checks the boxes of raw functionality, and offers wide customization. However, in practice it is a nightmare to use for almost everything. I was not part of the initial implementation, so I am not aware of all the options that were considered at that time. However, we demoed and implemented several other systems in my time. The star of the pack was Avature CRM. This is a system that is sleek, useful, and facilitates massively enhanced productivity. It gets out of your way and just works. Avature now has a full ATS (they didn't when we started using them) that should be at the top of your ATS consideration list. Avature is the opposite of Kenexa, providing excellent customer support (which we didn't have to pay extra for unlike Kenexa), and a really well-designed product.

Kenexa Review
- Oracle PeopleSoft,OpenHire
I did not have much to do with the selection process, but I found out that OpenHire was in the running, which is the worst system I have ever worked with. I was able to share my OpenHire experience, and hopefully that assisted with the selection of Kenexa. Compared to other systems I have worked with Kenexa is a superior system on the recruitment side.

I believe it is comparable.

Not so bad, yet no too good.
We used Kenexa due to its price. But the ultimate thing that we learned in the end is that: you get what you pay for.
It wasn't so awful that we wanted to just do physical recruiting, but then again it wasn't good enough to where we were happy with our results.
Bullhorn is fantastic. Developers should definitely take a look at it.

JobDiva, Maxhire. Kenexa is a much cleaner interface than the other two - appears to be a standard system across organizations.

Is Kenexa 2XB the Right ATS for Your Recruitment Team?

I didn't! However, I have used both SmartSearch and SilkRoad OpenHire extensively. SmartSearch is fantastic for recruiter geeks who really want to find out all the neat things that are available. It's fast, super easy to use, and quite elegant in design. Probably not a good choice for larger organizations but certainly worth considering for small to medium orgs. OpenHire is a joy to use. Great UI! It does have one really quirky design feature: each time an applicant applies, a new record is created. The software does allow you to view the notes from all the multiple records in one place but it's really a very odd design choice. OpenHire is worth considering for orgs of all sizes. I have never used Taleo but colleagues have and some love it and others hate it. It would be on my list for medium to larger sized orgs. My overall view is that recruiters always hate the ATS they are using. First question I always ask them is, "What do you need and want to do that you can't do with the system you have?" With most modern systems the answer is invariably "nothing"!
