McLeod Health Streamlines Recruiting Process with Kenexa Recruiter(R) - Solution Designed to Improve Recruiting Time for Not-For-Profit Health System - WAYNE, Pa., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Kenexa(R), a global leader in innovative human resource solutions, today announced that Florence, South Carolina-based McLeod Health has implemented Kenexa Recruiter(R), Kenexa's enterprise applicant tracking solution. McLeod Health is a not-for-profit health system that includes hospitals and offices in 16 cities throughout South Carolina and serves nearly one million people in 12 counties. Mark Rowe, HR Director at McLeod Health, said, "Prior to implementing Kenexa Recruiter, we relied on a different applicant tracking system that was no longer available as a hosted solution and proved to be cumbersome to use. As such, we reviewed approximately 26 vendors, none of which compared to Kenexa's ease of use, deep functionality and reporting capabilities. Kenexa Recruiter's ability to completely streamline the recruiting process combined with their HR domain expertise made them an obvious choice. We also gave Kenexa high marks for their ability to work with our existing workflows, processes and technology and for their superior customer service." Rowe added, "With Kenexa Recruiter, we'll be able to better manage both our internal and our external applicants and improve recruiting time, which means increased organizational productivity. And with our plans to add an additional seven floors, including more than 105 beds, with Kenexa Recruiter in place we are poised to manage this growth." Troy Kanter, President of Kenexa's Human Capital Management division, said, "McLeod's reputation for outstanding patient care is fostered by the people they employ. Kenexa Recruiter provides an easy application process for healthcare professionals to search for jobs and apply online, maximizing McLeod's access to qualified candidates while reducing their overall recruiting costs."
