Kenexa Corporation, a leading end-to-end provider of software, proprietary content, services and process outsourcing that enables organisations to recruit and retain a productive workforce, has expanded its operations to Hong Kong. The U.S.-headquartered company uses Hong Kong as a base to support its clients in Asia Pacific and for expansion in the region.
"As Kenexa continues to intensify its presence throughout the Asia Pacific region, we're selecting key locations that will enable us to best support our clients," said Mr Rudy Karsan, Kenexa's CEO. "We chose Hong Kong for its well-established infrastructure, talented workforce and stable economic forecast. It is also the preferred destination for many of our customers, which include industry leading multinational corporations."
The company also has offices in other Asia Pacific cities like Singapore, Taipei, Hyderabad and Melbourne.
Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong, Mr Simon Galpin, welcomed Kenexa's expansion. He said,"There are few cities in the world that offer a sophisticated technology infrastructure together with a world-leading logistics, financial and communications centre and a dynamic and skilled workforce. As the region's leading base for regional operations, Hong Kong is a natural fit for Kenexa with our pool of current and potential customers for Kenexa's services. I look forward to Hong Kong playing a pivotal role in Kenexa's further development in the Asia Pacific region."
Headquartered in Wayne, PA, Kenexa began operations in 1987 as a provider of recruitment services to a wide variety of industries. By 1997, the company had expanded to supply employee research, employee performance management technology and consulting services. Then, responding to growing demand from its customers, Kenexa embarked on a strategy to provide comprehensive human capital management services integrated with on-demand software.
Today, Kenexa's software, services, and proprietary content-based solutions include applicant tracking, employment process outsourcing, onboarding, skills and behavioural assessments, structured interviews, performance management, multi-rater feedback surveys, employee engagement surveys and HR analytics. The company employs more than 1 300 people worldwide. For more information, please visit: www.kenexa.com.
