Recruiting / ATS
Comparison of Recruiting / ATS features of Product A and Product B
While the user interface is relatively easy to use and offers nice functionality, from out experience, we had an issue that their fraud security was weak. One of our cards was somehow used out of state, at a pharmacy that it had never been used at before, with 3 transactions for exactly $100 each every day. One would think that some type of software AI would have flagged that as suspicious activity, but no. It was caught when the member tried to use the card and it was declined, and the last $100 transaction was processing, draining the account to zero. We called customer service, and they said paperwork was coming out - one document for each transaction, which was a huge amount of paperwork - via next day air to file the fraud claims. They were also supposed to put a freeze on the account immediately. After a week, NO paperwork had arrived, and when I called in to track it down I also found that the CSR had NOT shut the account down and the fraudsters were attempting further withdrawals of transactions for
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.
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.
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.
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.
BenefitWallet was recommended to us by our Health Insurance Broker, so we did not explore other options. However, BenefitWallet is nice in that you don't need to keep receipts and transactions are generally accepted and not declined as happens with other providers.
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.
