Kenexa Announces the Integration of its Proprietary Assessment Tools with Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing™
-Seamless Integration Improves Identification and Selection of Best Job Candidates without Added Overhead of Separate Solutions-
Kenexa (Nasdaq: KNXA), a leading provider of talent acquisition and retention solutions, today announced the integration of Kenexa Prove It!® skills assessments and Kenexa Selector™ behavioral assessments with Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing™. By integrating assessments directly into applicant tracking workflows, Kenexa helps companies improve the identification and selection of the best candidates for each position, without the added overhead of maintaining separate systems.
"Automated assessments help to streamline the candidate experience, they provide hiring managers with the most qualified candidates up front and mitigates risk by standardizing the selection process," said president and chief operating officer of Kenexa, Troy Kanter.
This integration enables Kenexa clients to administer tests proctored directly from the Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing interface or unsupervised via the Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing candidate-facing Talent Gateways. Assessment invitations can also be sent to candidates via Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing's proprietary eLink technology, enabling candidates to move directly from their e-mail application into the assessment. To support their employment brand, Kenexa clients retain full control over the branding and messaging associated with all delivery aspects of the assessments. Scores and report links become part of the candidate's comprehensive talent record, aggregating all of the candidate profile information in one system.
Rudy Karsan, Chief Executive Officer, Kenexa, commented, "The integration of Kenexa assessments with our Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing applicant tracking system was a top priority and driven by both our assessment customers and Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing customers requesting a seamless solution from one provider."
Delivered via software-as-a-service, Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing integrated with Kenexa assessment solutions, is available now.
