Kenexa

Kenexa provides outsourcing, employee research and software to help organizations effectively recruit and retain a productive workforce. The job it does: keeping employee records, time off and documents in one system.

Who is it for? Mostly HR teams and growing companies. They also list Consulting, Human Resources and Social, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a large product team themselves (1,001 to 5,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. At that size expect formal onboarding, documentation and a longer sales cycle.

Kenexa is based in Wayne, Pennsylvania and founded in 1987. More on kenexa.com.

Things worth asking about: payroll integration, onboarding workflows, and self-service. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Kenexa, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
