The story of Kenexa

History

Kenexa began operations in 1987 as a provider of recruitment services to a wide variety of industries. In 1993, we offered our first automated recruitment management system, and by 1997, we had expanded to provide employee research, employee performance management technology and consulting services. In late 1997, responding to growing demand from our customers, we embarked on a strategy to provide comprehensive human capital management services integrated with on-demand software. Between 1994 and 1998, we acquired 15 businesses that collectively enabled us to offer comprehensive HCM services integrated with on-demand technology.

In 1999, we embarked on a strategy that would augment our recruitment process outsourcing and employee performance management solutions, and reduce our strategic focus on discrete professional services. As a result of this shift, we exited our temporary staffing business, and acquired four businesses between 2000 and 2001. These acquisitions enhanced our screening and behavioral assessment solutions and skills testing technologies. Since 2002, we have reduced our strategic focus on position-specific recruiting services, discontinued our Oracle implementation business and sold our pharmaceutical training division.

On June 29, 2005, we completed our initial public offering, and in 2006, we enhanced our recruitment process outsourcing solutions and client base through the acquisitions of Webhire, Inc., Knowledge Workers Inc., Gantz Wiley Research, Psychometric Services Ltd., and BrassRing Inc. In June 2007, Kenexa acquired recruitment process outsourcing pioneer, StraightSource. Kenexa also acquired Germany-based HRC Human Resources Consulting GmbH in August 2007 to expand our presence and growth in mainland Europe.

Throughout 2008 and 2009, Kenexa expanded its global footprint to include more than 30 offices and locations in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. These global locations support the continued expansion of services to our growing client base. In March 2008, Kenexa opened a state-of-the-art campus in Vizag, India, which serves as a key development center for Kenexa's technological innovation. In April 2008, Kenexa acquired Quorum International Search Limited, a global recruitment process outsourcing provider to expand our leadership position, reach and customer delivery capabilities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

In 2010, Kenexa acquired the Centre for High Performance Leadership and Salary.com to expand upon current leadership solutions and broaden our domain knowledge, proprietary content and suite of integrated solutions.

Today, Kenexa multiplies business success by combining science, technology, business process and consulting. We're pleased to have touched the lives of more than 150 million people worldwide, fulfilling our purpose of globally serving humanity, everyday.

Our Mission

Beyond our goal to provide customers with solutions that ultimately link Human Resources to their income statements, we remain driven by a larger purpose. We believe that no matter who they are, or what part of the world they live in, people define themselves by the work they do. When people are in jobs they love, and are in environments that maximize their potential, they are not only more productive employees, they are better parents, friends, partners and neighbors. Our work is to make this happen for everyone.

Extreme Service

One of the ways we deliver on our mission is through Extreme Service. Delivering on this requires the commitment to accuracy, timeliness, responsiveness, proactivity and foremost—mutual learning. We live these values with every customer and co-worker interaction, and believe that these five components are necessary to solving business problems and improving business outcomes.
