WAYNE, PA--(Marketwire - November 12, 2009) - [ Kenexa ] (NASDAQ: [ KNXA ]), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced that Sarah Teten has assumed the newly created role of Chief Customer Officer. In this capacity, she will be responsible for ensuring that Kenexa's new brand is communicated, delivered and fulfilled at each phase of the customer lifecycle, and she will drive the delivery of Kenexa's Extreme Service Hierarchy globally.

Kenexa is the only company in the HR marketplace that has the tools, services and technology to multiply business success. Kenexa's formula for business success, i X e = s, requires two elements -- the individual and the environment. Kenexa believes that when you multiply the right individual by the right environment, success is inevitable. The multiplication sign in the formula for success is the secret to unlocking human potential. It is the factor that separates Kenexa from every other company in the marketplace. While other companies have solutions that affect the "i" or the "e," only Kenexa can multiply them to maximize business outcomes. One of the ways the company delivers on the "X" is through Extreme Service.

"Extreme Service is a critical factor in Kenexa's formula for success. It requires commitment to accuracy, timeliness, responsiveness, proactivity and, foremost, mutual learning. During her years at Kenexa, Sarah has demonstrated all those qualities, and more. There is no better leader to be in charge of communicating that Kenexa is 'HR success multiplied,' and ensuring that our customers achieve this degree of success," commented Rudy Karsan, Kenexa's chairman and CEO.

"Over the years, I've had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working closely with so many of our customers," said Teten. "These relationships are very important to Kenexa, professionally as well as personally. I'm honored to take the lead on making sure we continue to nurture these relationships while driving improvement and linkage of human resources to our customers' most important business metrics."

Teten has been Kenexa's chief marketing officer since 2004, having joined the company in 1999 as a sales executive and later serving as director of marketing. Teten received her bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska.
