Auzmor Hire vs. Brassring

I would recommend Auzmor Hire to anyone who is having a hard time in managing applicants and using multiple tools to get the work done. Auzmor Hire is simple to use ATS wherein you need not have any prior experience in using ATS. If you are struggling with posting same job on multiple job boards then you can integrate all your Job boards with Auzmor Hire so that with "One Click Posting", you can post the job across all the job boards. If you do not have paid job boards then Auzmor Hire has free job boards that you could always use. They are also adding few more in coming weeks.

Other products in the same category as Kenexa 2x BrassRing would be Taleo and PeopleFluent. I would also look into Avature as an ATS option. I am currently on the sourcing side of the recruitment process and use Avature for tracking and candidate mining purposes. I would recommend getting any kind of demo possible since the user interfaces vary quite a bit between them. Ease of use and overall stability should be kept in mind when comparing ATS prices.

• The Recipe Templates are an amazing option that helps us to automate Manual rejection, Sending Automated Emails, Questionnaire and Notifications when a score card is submitted by the Interviewer.
• Integrating Email Suite so that Email communication, Calendar Invites are synced to the ATS
• Being able to define the Recruiting Preferences and change it at the Job level
• Auzmor Hire Chrome Extension that helps us to Capture the details of the candidate from LinkedIn and add them to the Job on ATS with one click.
• Scoring the applicants based on the answering the Screening Questions is a great option to filter the candidates
• We can disqualify the candidate who have not met the criteria and give reasons so that we can track what are the major disqualifying reason.
• Integrating our Website's Career page with Auzmor Hire so that every job posted on ATS is automatically posted on Career's Page.

• Kenexa allows Boolean key word search within a particular requisition so it makes sifting through a high number of applicants manageable and effective
• Kenexa can be tailored to meet individual business needs. During the time we’ve had Kenexa here I’ve used it in support of a few different business segments and for each the way the system was used to “position” candidate statuses have varied based on the individual need of the business. One example is when interviewing a high volume of applicants internationally, we were able to send qualified applicants through to the “event manager” and it would enable the candidate to select his/her interview date/time based on previously submitted options inputted by our Kenexa users.
• Kenexa allows one to customize and score questions for each open requisition that applicants complete as they apply. The system then sorts applicants according to the score of candidate answers allowing for easy sorting of top qualified candidates.

• Nothing that i know but it would be great to add more free job boards

• Setting up integrations is extremely tedious. For instance, setting up an address feed would have required sending over 5 different spreadsheets on a daily basis (one each for every facility name, street address, zip code, state, country) and a 6th sheet to make the connection between the other 5 elements. We opted not to set up that integration as a result.

I am confident that the Kenexa product will continue to evolve to meet the needs of our business in an ever changing work environment. The affiliation with IBM also plays a factor as we have a long standing successful relationship with IBM products. We will be looking to integrate other Kenexa products in the near future to streamline our HR processes.

There is nothing that a recruiter needs to do that they can't do with Kenexa 2XB but the proprietary, old fashioned UI is far from intuitive to use. I only rate 2XB this highly because the SaaS is up most of the time, performance is usually reasonable, and it does actually work.

Just slow for what we are doing here

It is a very basic system. It may be OK for entry level positions only. The practice of removing CVs while the recruitment process is ON is disturbing and there is no one to explain or to inform why it is being done. Even a routine mail is not sent to the client/consultant. I am surprised how this system is continuing without too many complaints.

We purchased an out of the box solution and that worked well for us.

We have not used any ATS in the past but we did explore many ATS service providers wherein most of them we complex to use.

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.
