    This tool is also [similar] to set goals and check progress but not as relevant as IBM Kenexa is.

    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) …

    It stacks up well against Bullhorn CRM for candidate retrieval but not as streamlined or automated.

    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.

    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    Kenexa allowed for the requisition process to automated where as Ceridian's version I worked on did not. Also the Kenexa version allows multiple copies of an applications where the Ceridian version I previously used did not and made affirmative action harder to comply with.

    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 …

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

    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 …
