Cost-effective recruitment and retention of the right talent has taken on critical importance in the currently weakened economy. Kenexa's updated solution provides corporate recruiters and hiring managers with better tools and training for identifying, hiring and retaining the best employees, which reduces employers' hiring costs. The updated version also helps organizations comply with fair and ethical hiring policies by bringing a higher degree of standardization to interview question development and scoring, ensuring that all candidates are asked appropriate questions and scored on the same criteria.

This Web-based solution significantly improves the interviewing process for specific job roles and positions, producing a more accurate measure of candidates' fit as well as their impact on future business results. It enables the quick and efficient creation of interview question sets and interview guides that can be customized to specific job descriptions and responsibilities within an organization. Once created, the guides can be downloaded, printed or e-mailed and used multiple times by anyone in the organization. Built into the enhanced solution are 20 ready-to-use interviews developed by Kenexa, in addition to the more than 3,000 behavioral, situational, attitudinal and job knowledge questions that organizations can use in custom interviews.

"At Kenexa, we believe that when you multiply the right individual by the right environment, success is inevitable. Kenexa Interview Builder enables employers to find the right employees for their organizations, supporting business success," said Rudy Karsan, chief executive officer, Kenexa.

Interview Builder complements Kenexa's other offerings, which include Kenexa Recruiter® BrassRing, an award-winning secure software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution designed to effectively and efficiently source and track employment candidates throughout the recruiting process.
