The panel's verdict

Kenjo is an HR-management suite from Kenjo GmbH, Berlin, aimed at SMEs and deskless workforces. Its strongest area is absence & working-time: time tracking, a clock terminal, leave management and shift scheduling are all evidenced modules. Digital personnel file & data model and recruiting & onboarding top out at a flat 4 — personnel file, org chart, digital signature, an ATS add-on and onboarding/off-boarding are named, but the evidence shows no change history, custom fields or field-level permissions behind them. The weakest cluster is payroll handoff: payroll prep is a module title only, no payroll system or export format is named, and the APIs and integrations a handoff needs sit in the demo-gated Connect tier. The bench splits twice. Sovereignty spans 2-5 — the flagged disagreement — because the imprint pins Kenjo GmbH at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg (HRB B 183681B) while the evidence marks product hosting and subprocessor exposure unknown and Anthropic PBC (USA) is named for transcript analysis. Employee data protection & co-determination splits 2-4 over whether the vendor's own privacy policy — real hygiene, but governing Kenjo's site, not customer employee records — can carry the product.

Speaks for it

  • Time tracking, a time-clock terminal, leave management and shift scheduling are all evidenced modules, giving absence & working-time the table's highest functional range.
  • Digital personnel file, org chart, digital signature and document management are named modules, holding digital personnel file & data model at 4.
  • The imprint fully evidences the contracting entity: Kenjo GmbH, Berlin, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg HRB B 183681B, German VAT DE311075739.
  • Starter at 6 € and Growth at 10 € per employee are publicly priced with a 10% annual discount toggle.
  • A 14-day free trial is published for hands-on evaluation.

Report an error

Held against it

  • Payroll handoff scores 2-3: no payroll system, export format or mid-month joiner/leaver handling appears beyond module titles.
  • The APIs, integrations, labour-law warnings and time-tracking automation sit in the Connect tier, which is demo-gated with no public price.
  • The evidence evidences no change history, custom fields, field-level permissions or audit log in the personnel file, so digital personnel file & data model stops at 4.
  • No signable DPA, role model or product-side retention is evidenced — the privacy policy covers the vendor's own site and Kenjo's applicants, not customer employee records (employee data protection & co-determination 2-4).
  • The evidence marks the product's data residency, ownership and subprocessor exposure unknown (sovereignty attributes 0 of 10), and Anthropic PBC (USA) is named for call-transcript analysis.

Report an error

Best for

  • You run an SME with shift-based or deskless staff and want time tracking, a clock terminal, leave management and shift scheduling in one system.
  • Your payroll runs in another system and you need core HR records plus recruiting and onboarding, not a proven payroll handoff.
  • A fully evidenced German contracting entity (Kenjo GmbH, Berlin) matters more to you than confirmed product hosting residency.
  • You want one suite spanning HR, time, recruiting and onboarding and can verify record depth yourself during the 14-day trial.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You need a documented handoff to a payroll system or a defined export format — payroll handoff scores 2-3 with neither named.
  • You must present a signable DPA, role model and audit log to a works council or DPO before installation — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
  • You need ArbZG/BAG working-time-recording compliance out of the box — the labour-law warnings sit in the demo-gated Connect tier.
  • You require confirmed product hosting residency or a published customer-data subprocessor chain before signing — the evidence marks both unknown.

The scores

Digital personnel file & data model

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The system of record: employee master data, the digital personnel file, org structure, custom fields, and whether history is kept rather than overwritten.

0 — A contact list with job titles; no document storage, no org structure, no history — changes overwrite what was there.

3 — Employee records with document upload, but a flat structure: no org chart, few or no custom fields, and no dated history of contract or salary changes.

5 — Digital personnel file with structured document types, an org chart, custom fields, and change history on the core employment fields.

8 — Complete record: versioned contract and compensation history with effective dates, document templates with e-signature, org structure supporting multiple entities and cost centres, and granular field-level permissions.

10 — The file is the single source of truth an auditor could work from: full effective-dated history on every field, retention rules per document type, delegated administration per entity, and export that reproduces the record intact.

Report an error

The People Lead

Digitale Personalakte, Organigramm, document management and digital signature are all named modules, which clears the flat-list floor — but nothing on the evidence evidences versioned contract/salary history with effective dates, custom fields, multi-entity org depth, or permissions beyond the surface. For a record that must be true three years back, that silence is information. 2 3

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Digital personnel file, organigramm and digital signature are real modules, with document management in Starter, but the evidence says nothing about dated change history, custom fields, multi-entity structures or field-level permissions. Nice folder; not yet a system of record you could audit a backdated salary change in. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

The module list names a digital personnel file, document management, an org chart and digital signature, which clears the 3-anchor — but the evidence says nothing about change history on employment fields, custom fields, field-level permissions or retention per document type, and I do not sign off on a personnel file whose history I cannot see. Missing evidence is missing capability here. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Digitale Personalakte, Organigramm, Dokumentenmanagement and digitale Unterschrift are all named as modules, which clears the flat-structure anchor — but there is no evidence anywhere of change history, custom fields, or effective-dated contract and compensation records. The evidence names features; it never shows history that survives an edit, and I cannot credit what is not documented. 2 3 4

Report an error

The IT Integrator

Module names for a digital personnel file, digital signature, org chart and workflows exist, which clears the flat-contact-list floor, but the evidence shows nothing on custom fields, effective-dated contract or salary history, multi-entity org structure, or field-level permissions — the difference between rubric level 3 and rubric level 5 is unevidenced in either direction, so I sit just below 5. 3 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

The nav bar promises a digital personnel file, org chart and digital signature, which clears the 'no org chart' bar — but nothing on the evidence evidences change history, effective dating, custom fields or field-level permissions, so I cannot distinguish this from a flat file with upload. Module names are marketing; an auditor needs the record model, and the evidence never shows it. 2 3 4

Payroll handoff

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether the month closes cleanly into payroll — DATEV, Lohn und Gehalt, an in-house system or an external tax adviser — and how much of that is automated rather than re-typed.

0 — No payroll path stated at all; whatever leaves the system leaves as a spreadsheet somebody retypes.

3 — Generic CSV export said to be usable for payroll, with no named payroll system, no defined format and no handling of mid-month changes.

5 — A named payroll integration or a documented export format for at least one major system (e.g. DATEV LODAS/Lohn und Gehalt), covering the recurring monthly fields.

8 — Certified or vendor-maintained integration with a named payroll provider, covering variable pay, absences and mid-month joiners and leavers, with a documented pre-payroll check.

10 — Payroll is a first-class part of the product: maintained bidirectional integrations with several named systems, an auditable approval and lock step before transmission, retro-accounting for backdated changes, and the tax adviser given their own access.

Report an error

The People Lead

A 'Vorbereitende Lohnabrechnung' module and 'Abrechnungsmanagement' are named, so a payroll path exists on paper — but no named system (DATEV or otherwise), no export format, no mid-month joiner/leaver handling, and the APIs and integrations sit in the unpriced Connect tier behind a demo booking. I cannot tell from this whether my month closes or somebody retypes it. 2 1 3

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

"Vorbereitende Lohnabrechnung" and "Abrechnungsmanagement" are module names only: no named payroll system, no defined export format, no variable-pay, absence or mid-month joiner/leaver handling, and the only integration path sits in the unpriced Connect tier. Someone is retyping this month into something — the evidence never says what. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

A 'Vorbereitende Lohnabrechnung' module and 'Abrechnungsmanagement' are named, but no payroll system, export format, mid-month joiner/leaver handling or pre-payroll check appears anywhere — a payroll path by name only, which sits between rubric level 0 and rubric level 3. 2 1 3

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

"Vorbereitende Lohnabrechnung" and "Abrechnungsmanagement" exist as named modules, but no payroll system is named — no DATEV, no Lohn und Gehalt, no export format, nothing on mid-month joiners and leavers. The only integration evidence is "APIs und Integrationen" locked inside the unpriced, demo-gated Connect tier, which is exactly the payroll-relevant capability a buyer cannot evaluate. 2 1 3 4

Report an error

The IT Integrator

"Vorbereitende Lohnabrechnung" and "Abrechnungsmanagement" are named modules, so a payroll path is stated — but no named payroll system, no export format, no mid-month joiner/leaver handling, and the only integration path ("APIs und Integrationen") is locked behind the contact-sales Connect tier. A module name I cannot connect to DATEV or anything else is a retyped spreadsheet waiting to happen. 2 1 3

Report an error

The Skeptic

A 'vorbereitende Lohnabrechnung' module exists and Starter lists Abrechnungsmanagement, but no payroll system is named — no DATEV, no format, no mid-month joiner/leaver handling — and 'APIs und Integrationen' sits inside the unpriced, demo-gated Connect tier. That is a payroll path stated and nothing more; the handoff is somebody's re-typing until proven otherwise. 2 3 4

Absence & working-time

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Vacation, sickness and working-time recording — including whether the product meets the German recording duty (BAG 2022, ArbZG) rather than merely offering a timer.

0 — No absence or time handling; both live in a spreadsheet elsewhere.

3 — Vacation requests with an approval step, but entitlement is manual, carry-over is not handled and there is no working-time recording.

5 — Automatic entitlement and carry-over, sickness recording, an absence calendar, and basic working-time capture with a report per employee.

8 — Configurable per country and contract: pro-rata entitlement, public-holiday calendars per location, break and rest-period rules, overtime accounts, and an export the employer can hand to a labour inspection.

10 — Working-time recording built as a legal obligation rather than a feature: tamper-evident records, documented compliance with the ArbZG recording duty, works-council-configurable monitoring limits, and shift or on-call models handled without add-ons.

Report an error

The People Lead

Urlaubsverwaltung, Zeiterfassung, a Zeiterfassungs-Terminal and Schichtplanung are all real modules in one system, which is the breadth I want — but automatic entitlement and carry-over, sickness recording and any documented ArbZG/BAG-2022 compliance are absent from the evidence, and Zeiterfassungsautomatisierung and labour-law alerts hide in the gated Connect tier. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Leave management, time tracking, shift planning and a time-clock terminal are evidenced, which beats a bare request form. But nothing on automatic entitlement, carry-over, sickness, break rules or any reference to the ArbZG/BAG recording duty or tamper-evidence — a timer is not a legal record. 2 4

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

Time tracking, a clock terminal, leave management and shift scheduling are in the core offering, which is real breadth, but nothing documents automatic entitlement, sickness handling, break and rest rules, tamper-evident records or the BAG/ArbZG recording duty — and there is not one word about monitoring limits a Betriebsrat could configure. Breadth without the legal-duty documentation gets the middle anchor. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Urlaubsverwaltung, Zeiterfassung, a Zeiterfassungs-Terminal and Schichtplanung are all evidenced, so this is more than a timer — but there is no evidence of automatic entitlement or carry-over, sickness recording, break and rest rules, or any documentation of the ArbZG recording duty. The one compliance signal, "Warnmeldungen bei Nichteinhaltung des Arbeitsrechts," sits in the unpriced Connect tier; working-time law is not an upsell. 2 3 4

Report an error

The IT Integrator

Zeiterfassung, a Zeiterfassungs-Terminal, Urlaubsverwaltung and Schichtplanung are in the base tiers, which is more than request-and-approve — but nothing evidences automatic entitlement and carry-over, sickness recording, per-location holiday calendars, or any ArbZG/BAG recording-duty compliance, and "Zeiterfassungsautomatisierung" itself sits in the unpriced Connect tier. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

Time tracking is clearly more than a timer — module, reports, a terminal, shift planning, and Connect adds automation and shift templates. But the evidence is silent on entitlement calculation, carry-over, sickness, holiday calendars, and above all on the BAG/ArbZG recording duty; a German vendor selling Zeiterfassung without one documented word on the legal obligation gets no benefit of the doubt. 2 3 4

Recruiting & onboarding

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The join path — vacancy to signed contract to a person who has an account, equipment and a plan on day one.

0 — Neither applicant tracking nor onboarding exists; hiring happens in a shared inbox.

3 — A basic applicant list with statuses, or an onboarding checklist — one of the two, without the handover between them.

5 — Applicant tracking with a careers page, structured stages and rejection handling, plus a checklist-driven onboarding that carries the hired candidate over into an employee record without re-entry.

8 — Multi-posting to named job boards, interview scheduling and scorecards, GDPR-conscious applicant retention and deletion, e-signed contracts, and onboarding that triggers tasks in IT and payroll.

10 — The whole join is one governed flow: approval-gated requisitions with budget, structured and bias-conscious evaluation, automated applicant deletion at the stated deadline, and provisioning driven from the record so day one needs no HR intervention.

Report an error

The People Lead

Both halves exist in one suite — an ATS at a publicly priced 249 €/month add-on and an Onboarding/Off-Boarding module — but nothing confirms a careers page, structured stages, applicant retention/deletion for customers, or that the hired candidate lands in the employee record without re-entry. The 6-month applicant deletion in the privacy policy governs applying to Kenjo itself, not the product's feature. 2 3

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

An ATS exists as a priced add-on and onboarding/offboarding is a listed module, with applicant deletion at 6 months and a 2-year talent pool stated in the privacy policy. No evidence of a careers page, structured stages, or the handover that turns a hired candidate into an employee record without re-entry. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

Both an ATS add-on and an onboarding/off-boarding module exist, and applicant deletion is actually stated — six months after rejection, two years in the talent pool — but no careers page, structured stages, handover into the employee record or e-signed contract flow is evidenced. Two halves without proof of the join. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

An ATS exists as a priced add-on (249 €/month) and Onboarding/Off-Boarding is a named module, so both halves of the join path exist — but there is no evidence of a careers page, structured stages, or the candidate-to-employee handover without re-entry. And I must be precise: the 6-month application deletion and 2-year talent-pool rule in govern people applying to Kenjo itself, not a product capability that deletes my applicants' data on schedule; a product-side deletion date is not evidenced. 2 3 4

Report an error

The IT Integrator

Both halves exist as modules — Recruiting/ATS as a priced 249 €/month add-on and Onboarding/Off-Boarding in the HR list — plus genuinely stated applicant retention (6 months, 2 years talent pool). But nothing shows the candidate-to-employee handover without re-entry, a careers page, or onboarding that triggers anything in IT: no account creation, no provisioning, no SCIM. A checklist that doesn't create the account is exactly what I don't grade. 2 3 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

Both halves are named — an ATS as a €249/month add-on and an onboarding/offboarding module — which is more than one orphaned checklist. But there is no evidence of careers page, structured stages, rejection handling, or the candidate-to-employee handover, and the six-month applicant deletion I do see is Kenjo's own hiring policy, not the product's feature. 2 3

Employee data protection & co-determination

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How the product handles the most sensitive personal data a company holds — retention, deletion, role separation, subject rights — and whether it can pass a works council (BetrVG §87) rather than merely a procurement checklist.

0 — No stated retention or deletion handling, no role model beyond admin-or-not, and no DPA offered on the site.

3 — A DPA exists on request and roles are coarse; retention and deletion are described as something the customer arranges themselves.

5 — A signable DPA is published, roles are configurable per module, applicant and employee retention periods are stated, and deletion can be executed rather than only promised.

8 — Field-level access control with an audit log of who read what, configurable retention per data category with automatic deletion, documented subject-rights support, and monitoring or analytics features that can be switched off for co-determination.

10 — Built for the works council to say yes: published processing documentation and subprocessor list, per-entity data separation, tamper-evident audit trail, evaluation and behavioural-analysis features off by default with their scope documented, and a data-protection impact assessment the customer can build on.

Report an error

The People Lead

The privacy policy is genuinely decent — DPO contact, full Art. 15–21 rights, stated retention with automatic deletion, no profiling, contractual AI-training exclusion — but that is Kenjo's own compliance posture. For the product itself the evidence says nothing about role models, field-level permissions, an audit log, or analytics switchable off for co-determination, which with a time-clock terminal is exactly what a BetrVG §87 conversation will ask about. 4

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

The privacy policy is substantive: automatic deletion at stated retention periods, Arts 15-21 rights, a DPO, AI-training exclusion and no profiling. But no signable DPA is evidenced, no role or field-level permissions, no audit log, and the HR-analytics and survey modules come with no evidence they can be switched off for a works council. 3 4

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

The privacy policy is respectable for the vendor's own website — Art. 15-21 rights, a DPO address, executed deletion periods, no profiling — but it governs kenjo.io visitors and applicants to Kenjo GmbH, not the product: no DPA, no role model, no audit log of who read which personnel file, and no evidence that the HR analytics, surveys and 360° reviews can be switched off for co-determination. A tool that cannot answer those questions does not get installed, so this sits between the 0 and 3 anchors. 4

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

No DPA is published or offered anywhere in this sheet — for the processing I would actually be handing over, that is disqualifying at this score level. The privacy policy is decent for Kenjo's own house: DPO contact, Art. 15–21 rights, no profiling, named subprocessors with countries, and "automatisch gelöscht" retention for transcripts and analytics data — but every one of those auto-deleting retention periods covers Kenjo's website, sales and own-hiring data, not customer employee records. Nothing evidences a product role model beyond tier packaging, an audit log of who read what, configurable retention per data category, or monitoring I could switch off in front of a works council. 4

Report an error

The IT Integrator

The privacy policy is real work: DPO contact, the full Art. 15–21 rights list, SCC/BCR/adequacy safeguards, AI-training exclusion, and executable retention for applicants and transcripts (6/12/24 months, auto-delete). But there is no published signable DPA, no role model beyond nothing stated, no audit log, and no retention statement for employee records themselves — that sits between rubric level 3 and 5, and a works council would ask the questions this sheet cannot answer. 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

The privacy policy shows real hygiene — DPO contact, Art. 15–21 rights, executed automatic deletion, no profiling, AI training excluded — but it governs the vendor's own website and sales processing, not the customer's employee records. No DPA is offered on the site, no role model is described anywhere, no audit log, no field-level access, nothing on BetrVG §87; product-side governance is a blank page. 4

European sovereignty panel opinion

panel disagrees Show reasoning
How this is scored

Where the data lives, who the contracting entity is, who the subprocessors are, and whether the answer is documented rather than assumed. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as the buyer would weigh it.

0 — US-headquartered vendor, US contracting entity, hosting region unstated or US, subprocessors not named.

3 — EU hosting is offered as an option but the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is incomplete or absent.

5 — EU hosting stated as standard and an EU contracting entity, but the subprocessor chain includes non-EU providers without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, an EU contracting entity, the full subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, contracting entity, hosting and every subprocessor in the EU, certification of the data centres published, and an on-premises or private-cloud option for buyers who need it.

Report an error

The People Lead

The contracting entity is solidly German — Kenjo GmbH, Berlin, HRB B 183681B at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg — and the privacy policy claims all processing stays in the EEA, particularly Germany. But no data-centre provider is named for the product itself, the customer-data subprocessor chain is not published, and the 'nothing leaves the EEA' claim sits awkwardly next to Anthropic (USA) and Google in the subprocessor list, which I cannot reconcile as a buyer. 3 4

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

The imprint pins vendor and contracting entity as Kenjo GmbH, Berlin, with German register and VAT numbers. But the product's hosting region is unconfirmed — the EEA/Germany statement covers the web-analytics stack — and there is no published subprocessor list, with Anthropic (USA) and Google named incidentally for transcription. 3 4

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

The contracting entity is a German GmbH with a Charlottenburg registry number and one processing location is stated as Germany, but the product's hosting residency, ownership and its own subprocessor chain are all marked unknown, and the subprocessors that are named include US providers (Anthropic, Google) — for vendor processes, with the product's hosting nowhere confirmed. 3 4

Report an error

The IT Integrator

The imprint evidences a German contracting entity in full — Kenjo GmbH, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg HRB B 183681B, Berlin, German VAT ID — so I cannot follow the pipeline's 0. But the residency claim in covers sales/web analytics on Supabase, not the HR suite's hosting, which the evidence leaves undocumented; named non-EU subprocessors exist (Anthropic, USA) with safeguards stated, and ownership is unknown. 3 4

Report an error

The Skeptic

The Impressum nails the contracting entity — Kenjo GmbH, Berlin, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg — and the privacy policy claims EEA/Germany processing, but that claim covers the vendor's web sphere: the product's hosting region is marked unknown, the product's subprocessor chain is unpublished, and even the vendor's own chain shows Anthropic PBC (USA) and Google on call transcripts plus a Singapore-registered Supabase. German letterhead, unverifiable data path. 3 4

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether an HR lead can compute the real annual invoice for their headcount — including the modules they actually need — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — An entry price per employee exists, but the modules most buyers need are unpriced, or a minimum headcount, setup fee or mandatory onboarding package is not stated publicly.

5 — Per-employee prices are public for the main tiers with the billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed module (payroll, time, recruiting) hides in an unpriced bundle.

8 — Every tier and module priced publicly with per-employee maths, billing period, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: a calculator or table that produces the annual invoice for a given headcount and module selection, including setup, minimums and renewal terms.
