LONDON, October 8 /PRNewswire/ --

- Kenexa's Solutions Enable NHS to Qualify High Potential Candidates

Kenexa(R) (NASDAQ: KNXA), a leading provider of recruitment and retention
solutions, today announced its role in assisting the National Health Service
(NHS), the largest employer in Europe, increase the speed and efficiency of
its graduate management training qualification process.

The NHS was created in 1948 and is recognised by the World Health
Organisation as one of the best health services in the world. As a leading
health service provider, NHS receives more than 7,000 applications each year
for a placement in its highly regarded Graduate Management Training
Programme.

Kenexa's recruitment and retention solutions have enabled the NHS to more
effectively qualify candidates for this training programme in a timely
manner. NHS candidates apply for the training programme online, where they
are asked to undertake five different questionnaires and ability tests,
including Kenexa's online numerical and verbal reasoning assessments.

Julie Ribbons, resource manager, Graduate Management Training Scheme,
NHS, commented, "The use of Kenexa's tests has supported the removal of
manual short-listing. The whole process is now far less labour intensive and
our NHS manager assessors are now able to give their valuable time to a more
focused process, one that allows them to concentrate more on candidates who
have the right potential to succeed."

A validation study found that Kenexa's tests were clearly identified as
the strongest predictor of a candidate's success during the final stage of
the qualifying process. The enhanced process has also helped the NHS receive
the prestigious Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) 'Best of the Best'
award for graduate selection and development.

"This award has provided significant recognition for the range of changes
and improvements made to our graduate process," said Ribbons.
