Great team! Great on-boarding tool for new associates!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: We're really happy with the rep team. They have been easy to approach, as we've had questions or new challenges.

Pros:

E-verify built-in. Compliance modules built-in. Requirements and reminders. Customizability. Scalability.

Cons:

I would love to have the branding reflect our company and not the onboarding company name. "White label", I think they call it.

Overall good product

5.0 5 years ago

Pros:

It is comprehensive and the staff is very responsive.

Cons:

It would be nice to have control over our own digitizing. If we have a form that is a one off, it is a lengthy process to get it set up if you need a quick signature.

Xenqu for the Future!

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: I use the software every day and would not want to go back to the "old way."

Pros:

The format of the document upload is clean and easy to read, easy to review items and a fool proof system for gathering signatures.

Cons:

The initial setup way challenging as there are lots of moving parts but the end result is worth the work!

Xenqu Review

2.0 last month New

Comments: My overall experience is that it was a shotty service that was inconsistent.

Pros:

The ability of it to sync with Salesforce for I9 purposes.

Cons:

The software was very inconsistent, and we had a very hard time implementing it full time in replacement for Pandadoc.

Thrilled with Xenqu

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Our business onboards over 200 people a week on average. We needed a software tool that would provide compliance controls, automation, and reporting capabilities for high volume business. The software has more than met our business needs. I-9 compliance is also a big risk for our business and the software is one of the few on the market that mirrors the form I-9 exactly and adheres to most Everify requirements.

Pros:

The software enables our business to implement greater state/federal compliance and control the onboarding process much easier. The dashboard reporting capabilities are great!

Cons:

There is a slight learning curve when first using the software as the automation added complexity that our business did not have prior to using Xenqu. However, I was able to quickly learn the software and how the automation works. I do feel the reporting capabilities need improvement to make it more user friendly - i.e. some of the reporting template options are written for someone with IT knowledge but doesn't always work so great for those actually creating/running reports.

Xenqu Experience

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall, my job is easier with xenqu than without. I would like to see changes to make it easier for those who are not familiar with computers.

Pros:

I like the flexibility that it allows our office when it comes to the hiring process. Not needing our hires to be completed 100% in office can really speed up the process. It also allows flexibility for our nurses to complete annual training.

Cons:

It requires A LOT of troubleshooting and assistance for applicants and new hires to complete the forms. IT does not seem overly user friendly for somebody who is not tech-savy.

Happy we found Xenqu

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: This is a great way for us to send our candidates their paperwork in one easy platform. The E-verify feature is also a great time saver.

Pros:

The ease of this product is great, it is very user friendly. Also have great customer support and get my issues addressed very quickly.

Cons:

Takes some getting used to what buttons to click and what each button does. Once you know the system it is second nature.

Xenqu Review

4.0 5 years ago

Pros:

The element that I like most about Xenqu is that it frees up time to complete other tasks and makes orientating new hires more streamlined.

Cons:

Honestly, the rapid name change has been difficult to explain to our caregivers that were used to using PRYDE. In terms of the software, the inconsistency of the upload functionality is sometimes problematic. For example, some screens show the upload feature on the right hand side and other screens show the original upload screen.

Xenqu Review

5.0 4 days ago New

Comments: My overall experience was negative, not a good service.

Pros:

What I liked most about Xenqu was that it was able to port over to our CRM.

Cons:

Xenqu is very difficult to use if you're not on the admin setting. It doesn't notify you when candidates view documents or complete them.

Accessible but slow

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: I do like the layout when our caregivers access this for hires. I like how it creates a Que and essentially forces the caregivers to complete documents in the correct order. I feel it helps the caregivers fill out forms correctly as it turns red when something is not completed correctly. This has helped auditing and eliminated the need for corrections.

Pros:

I do like how this software is accessible remotely and is user friendly to our caregivers.

Cons:

The software is very patchy with speed. Sometimes it works great and other days it's too slow.

A Solid Onboarding Software

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: After taking a few months to train on and learn the software, I am comfortable with it and like using it to hire new employees. It's not intuitive for them, and we frequently have employees who are being hired or are updating their credentials who experience problems with the organization.

Pros:

Xenqu makes getting all required credentials in one place really easy.

Cons:

The accessibility and organization of the software takes some time to get used to and isn't incredibly intuitive.
