レビュー募集中！IBM Kenexa Employee Assessmentsを紹介・競合製品の評判をユーザーレビュー・口コミで紹介

What do you dislike?

The UI was a bit outdated and it was confusing for candidates who were not the most computer literate when to start the test. Many accidentally started the test without realizing and received poor scores because they didn't realize they had clicked start being taking a moment to compose themselves before starting a timed test. Having more clear instructions and a more obvious start button would help.

Would also like to see a list of actual questions available rather than just a vague question list-this would make it easier for managers to pick out the questions that relate the required skills more easily.

When I worked in a unionized environment, we did typing and data entry tests in addition to assessing Word and Excel skills. When I first started we didn't have software to do this so everything had to be marked by hand. According to the union, each employee had to be given 2 chances to write the test, so the candidate often had to wait around while we marked their first attempt. When we switched to Kenexa Prove It!, the results would be emailed to me immediately with no delay. Not only could I compare scores, I could also accurately compare how long each candidate took on each question to see what areas they struggled with. The whole process was incredibly efficient and saved ourselves and the candidates a lot of time. It also allowed us to test at our remote locations much more easily. Managers outside of HR didn't need to worry about trying to mark exams for us-they simply needed to set them up on a computer and walk away until they were finished and I confirmed the results had come through. I also liked that the tests could be personalized depending on the skill set needed for the role.

What do you dislike?

It would be nice for the "super user" to have more control over updating fields and and information on the back-end of the product.

What do you like best?

The employee engagement tool is very user friendly. The reporting function is very intuitive.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Ask for an implementation guide. You don;t know, what you don't know. It can be very frustrating when setting up a system to later find out you had "options" for customizing certain fields, portels, etc.

What do you dislike?

Our posting feature sometimes has issues. I'm not sure if it is a Kenexa problem or due to server error.

What do you like best?

Utilizing Kenexa Brassring (now IBM) as our ATS at SHC - the best feature is the communication email template we can send over to multiple candidates with one click! Easy way to stay in touch with our candidate pool and coordinate phone screens in a more efficent manner.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Kenexa is an easier ATS to use then Taleo or PeopleClick. However, in onboarding our candidates have issues with their w4 forms typically so you may have to follow up during that step in the process!

What do you dislike?

2xB is not made for recruiting groups that do passive candidate sourcing. Ex: there is no direct way to update a resume in a talent record. You have to add the candidate as "new" and then let the stacking logic recognize it as a duplicate.

What do you like best?

I love the flexibility the system provides. There are 5 different ways to do one thing. The system speed is also great!

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make sure you have a competent IC when going through your implementation.

What do you dislike?

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.

What do you like best?

It keeps up completely compliment and tracks all paperwork seamlessly.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Making it a more integrated ATS. Should be easier to do candidate searches, and provide a calendar application.

What do you dislike?

not user friendly, looks old, not intuitive

What do you like best?

It does allow for organizing candidates.

What do you dislike?

Errors and slow processing happen often, and I've had situations where I've had to log off and log on again.

What do you like best?

I enjoy the ease of use and appealing user interface

Recommendations to others considering the product

User-friendly and appealing user interface.

What do you dislike?

Lack of support to update Enterprise model

What do you like best?

The integrity of the data. The data is very accurate and supports our business goals of staying competitive and maintaining internal equity.

Recommendations to others considering the product

We purchased the enterprise edition but never fully implemented the solution since we found little support from Kenexa and a huge workload due to an implementation. For what we paid we could have used a bit of handholding.

What do you dislike?

It may have delayed responses from tech support if you encounter some issues, but none too severe. Also, depending on connection and number of users, sometimes you might experience slow load response.

What do you like best?

The system is user friendly, provide a vast range of Talent Acquisition support, from processing applicants, updating statuses, sending it to Hiring Manager with a click of a button. Best part is, if utilized well, their Data Insight Tool will be very helpful to generate metrics and for strategic planning year on year.
