Five Recruiting Insights from the Gartner Magic Quadrant
May 19th, 2010 by Louis P. Kadetsky, CPC
Gartner’s 2009 “Magic Quadrant” for recruiting software provides a number of insights for corporate recruiting professionals. In addition to learning who the market leaders are – and which are on the rise – you can get a sense of what the recruiting market values. Taleo remains the clear frontrunner, according to Gartner, but the action below is what’s fascinating.
1. StepStone: This vendor has moved into the Magic Quadrant, signaling a strong move for the company. It’s now one to watch.
2. Bernard Hodes Group: No longer a “visionaries” company, this vendor has fallen back into the “niche players” quadrant.
3. Large ERP Vendors: Companies like Oracle, SAP and ADP are in the challengers quadrant, making them powerful forces in the recruiting software market. But, they don’t have the visionary qualities of companies like Taleo and Kenexa, according to Gartner.
4. Execution: Kronos and Mr Ted have shown an increase in ability to execute, increasing their presence in the marketplace.
5. Australian Debut: For the first time, an Australian vendor has made it into the Magic Quadrant. PageUp People is now in the “niche players” quadrant, with relative strength in “completeness of vision.”
