Kenexa and HireRight Create Alliance to Deliver New Streamlined Recruitment, Background Screening Solution

   Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced a new partnership with HireRight, Inc., an Altegrity company and leader in on-demand employment background and drug and health screening, to provide integrated employment screening services within Kenexa's on-demand talent management solutions for global organizations.

As a preferred background screening partner, HireRight's services and comprehensive screening program management features are built into Kenexa 2x BrassRing™ and Kenexa 2x Recruit™. This integration enables a more streamlined hiring process for recruiters and hiring managers, allowing them to make smart hiring decisions faster, while saving time and money and improving the candidate experience.

Jim Restivo, chief technology officer, Kenexa, commented, "Our partnership with HireRight allows recruiters to seamlessly order and manage a background check or drug test within Kenexa 2x BrassRing and Kenexa 2x Recruit. By incorporating HireRight's solutions into our Integrated Talent Management solutions, Kenexa continues to help businesses improve their outcomes by identifying the best individuals for every job."

The integrated solution delivers enhanced process efficiencies and program controls for recruiting and screening candidates. From within their Kenexa environment, Kenexa users can quickly order a quality background check or drug test from HireRight with just a few clicks. Since candidate information from Kenexa pre-populates the background order, duplicate data entry is eliminated.

Other unique solution features include configurable account and package setup, flexible order management, strong integration security and live chat. With the Kenexa and HireRight solution, recruiters can establish a single source for all candidate and employment information, streamline screening processes and more effectively manage their screening programs.

"Developing a solution with Kenexa enables our mutual customers to take advantage of a proven, seamless recruiting and screening experience," said Rob Pickell, senior vice president of customer solutions at HireRight. "Our full-featured integrated solution has already seen rapid customer adoption and we look forward collaborating with the Kenexa team to build upon our early success."
