Recruitee, headquartered in Amsterdam, offers their eponymous collaborative hiring platform. A cloud-based ATS and recruitment management system supporting branded job posting, candidate sourcing and tracking, and recruitment analytics. It is presented as suitable for companies of all sizes, and boasts users such as Taco Bell, Red Bull, Toyota, and Staples.
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) …
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 …
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 …

Chose Recruitee by Tellent
There is really no competition for me. One is the idea of what might be good and one is what is functional and easy to use on a day to day basis. Recruitee seems to come from the mind of a recruiter rather than a product manager who thinks they know what a recruiter might want
Recruitee has more features than GreenHouse. Recruitee is more updated regarding social media platforms, website designing, integrations and more! Definitely, Recruitee has more to offer than other ATS systems. It seems that they upgrade and always are looking to improve! I …
Recruitee is the most straightforward and easy to use recruitment platform I have ever managed. I have managed also taleo which was really complex and several company built platforms that always were either too slow or complex to manage. Recruitee works like a charm, is rarely …
Recruitee is more user-friendly and more visually appealing. Recruiting is an EXCELLENT applicant tracking system Crelate is better at tracking marketing activities for recruiting firms
Many things were determinant for the selection of Recruitee. Among them, the things that stand on top are the easy usability, the possibility of sharing the candidate information in a link, so our final client (or the manager, in the case of a company) can easily access it; the …
Recruitee is [a] standalone application and there were no additional licenses required. It worked pretty well with social platform such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and other job boards. Application management, duplicate candidate prevention, and offer extension are good feature[s …
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.
Recruitee does an excellent job at making recruitment easy for all. It has several features and customizable ones that complete a 360 platform to guarantee a smooth recruitment process for all. Internally and externally. Using kanban boards has been an eye-opening experience and recruitee has that in a way that is easy for everyone to follow
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.
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.
As a third-party Recruiter, I have to continue our paid subscriptions with the job boards in addition to the Recruitee monthly fee. This isn't a fault of Recruitee and certainly isn't a deal breaker, just something to keep in mind.
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.
100% I will continue to use this amazing system! It has helped us a lot!! It has it all, I have used other systems and I haven't been able to get all the features I needed. This system was able to offer it all. I would renew the contract for sure.
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.
It's extremely easy to use and the different features don't require extensive research to understand. The scorecards and evaluations allow the user to be able to view aggregate scores from the whole hiring process and view the top rated candidates to be able to make offers and decisions. The templates are also very helpful
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.
Recruitee has been able to provide excellent customer service! Their support team they go way beyond for their customers. I'm the type of person who asks a lot of questions. They have been able to keep it up with me.
Yes, during the implementation process, I do remember from the sales team to the onboarding team, they were able to help all the way through. They provide quick assistance and you don't feel lost in the process at all

Talking about ROI, Recruitee was easy a positive investment (in my point of view), because he was the main platform used in our hiring process (our product).
Another positive impact is the possibility of searching candidates, making the overall time of hunting candidates way lower.
Since it has its own career page, it had a positive impact in our budget.
