The IBM Kenexa Talent Acquisition Suite is the answer to all the Human Resources concerns in one place. It provides the best platform to recruit through the Brassring and to engage and retain talent through its succession, compensation, and performance management solutions.

Large or small, domestic or international, compliance-heavy or flexible, the product is highly customizable and can meet the needs of any customer. Working with this tool in global settings and high volume over the years, I've seen a dedication to staying on top of industry trends, as well as a renewed focus on being cutting edge and utilizing IBM's industry expertise. This while maintaining the relationship focus that made Kenexa a sought-after business partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took four months to do the initial mapping and configuration for 2xO. It took ONE YEAR from that point to "go live." Out implementation person quit Kenexa because of this. No one is happy with the result. It is slow, awkward, clumsy, counter-intuitive to use. It is the only piece of software where it is actually faster to have the new employee fill out paper than it is to use this stinky piece of software. If you get stuck with this piece of crap, you have just been told by your organization that they HATE you and you should find another job soon. They have set you up to fail and will blame and fire you over this. I would only wish my enemies the task of implementing 2xO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a functional standpoint, it is extremely finicky and downright slow. It's best used as a way to disposition candidates, instead of actually searching for candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Way to many clicks to accomplish anything, can't seem to find a way to filter candidates by salary, availability, shift preferences, etc., doesn't appear to do a keyword search to rule out unqualified candidates - which leaves you to have to look through far more resumes, no way for the recruiter to make the correct resume the default on behalf of the candidate to send to hiring managers after they've been improperly loaded through a 3rd party website; talent match feature is not effective.

Kenexa BrassRing is a great tool for applicant tracking, posting roles, tracking EEO data, background check info, candidate profiles, templates, reporting, Kenexa technician support is valuable in providing what their customer needs are to run their business effectively Kenexa OrgMappers is a great tool to host engagement surveys, pull data easily, enter data easily

We use Kenexa's 2x Brassring as ATS in a global organisation. It allows our Hiring Managers to provide the data required by them, and start/be part of the recruitment process without requiring access to the system.

IBM Kenexa is used by the HR and Leadership team members. It enables the recruiter in terms of tracking a potential candidate from the starting of the recruitment process. The most amazing feature is that we can customize the email to the candidates for every recruitment step. It is basically a user-friendly tool. It helps to source different candidate profiles from different sources.

Kenexa was used as the primary application tracking system for the entire company to handle over 10,000 hires a year. We had a few hundred recruiters using the system along with various support staff and hiring managers across the company.
Almost everything - the system is clearly a legacy system that has been patched together over time and never really received the updates it needed to be competitive in a modern web environment. The recruiter experience is very poor, requiring tedious processes for even the most basic tasks. The job applicant experience is also very poor, unless you very heavily tweak the poor interfaces (and even then it's not possible to get it looking and working particularly well). The back-end administration is also quite painful and non-intuitive. The system is capable of doing some powerful things, but you really have to "trick" it into doing what you want. It doesn't appear to be designed with useful functionality in mind. Most of the solutions we implemented for were hacks that worked around silly limitations within the system. Support - really, really poor. We paid for a dedicated consultant, and would regularly go days without getting responses (much less resolutions) to our issues. We replaced the consultant after a few years of pain, and the new consultant wasn't much better. They are not responsive, not knowledgeable, and regularly dropped the ball. Even if the system was excellent, based on the quality of the support we paid to receive I could not recommend this company.

We are Human Resource Consultants. Managerial positions by are client are forwarded to us via Kenexa and candidates are uploaded by us on Kenexa.
I have no idea where to start.
