---global recruitment company enhances candidate screening in the UK---
LONDON. (December 13, 2007) -Kenexa® (NASDAQ: KNXA), a leading provider of recruitment and retention solutions, today announced that it has been selected by Randstad, the world's third largest recruitment and HR services company, to be their sole skills assessment provider in the UK.
Randstad, have signed a long term agreement to use Kenexa Prove It!® skills assessments to assess its candidates throughout all of their UK branches and in-house locations.
Nicola Hutchings, Implementation Manager at Randstad said: "We previously had an assessment package that wasn't performing very well on our network. Prove It! Is easy to use, intuitive and the range of tests extensive. Our field-based trials concluded that with Prove It! we didn't have a problem with our network so it made sense to switch".
The Kenexa Prove It! software includes more than 800 validated assessments for clerical, software, call centre, behavioural, financial, healthcare, industrial and technical job classifications.
John Valenti, Kenexa's Global Practice Leader for Skills Assessment, said, "I am excited that one of the world's largest staffing organisations has switched to Kenexa Prove It! for their U.K. operations. Randstad's success is based on professionalism and a close understanding of local business requirements which is why it is such a privilege for us to have been selected to serve as their chosen assessment partner."
