HR and Recruitment technology is at the forefront of our industry today. From mobile apps to enterprise based systems for tracking and data warehousing there are new products to learn about each and every day.

This past week Kenexa (Disclaimer: The company I work for and this is unpaid) was honored in the HRE editorial Top HR Apps. You can see their article in full here and I recommend that you take a look at it to learn more about the tools that are available.

Kenexa recently released Kenexa 2x Mobile. It’s specifically designed for iPhone and Blackberry and of course more compatibility to come. The crux of the system is that hiring managers can approve job reqs and final say on hiring’s anywhere, anytime. You can read much more on 2x Mobile here.
