Time-Saving Employment Profile Makes It Faster and Easier for Candidates to Apply for Jobs -- and for Employers to Find the Right Match for Their Job Openings
WAYNE, PA, Nov. 4, 2009 (Marketwire) --
WAYNE, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/04/09 -- Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced details of its alliance with McLean, Va.-based Jobfox. Kenexa has joined Jobfox to support ResumePal, the recruiting industry's first universally accepted online employment application. ResumePal is seamlessly integrated with Kenexa's award-winning applicant tracking system, Kenexa Recruiter® BrassRing (KRB), and is available immediately for KRB customers at no additional cost.
Rudy Karsan, chief executive officer, Kenexa commented, "Hiring managers, HR professionals and corporate recruiters share several common goals: faster hires, better hires and less expensive hires. Our alliance with Jobfox and our support for ResumePal means our customers can reduce their reliance on recruitment advertising, generate meaningful results more quickly and provide an improved candidate experience."
The fastest and easiest way for candidates to apply for employment over the web or mobile web devices, ResumePal is the job equivalent to popular e-payment methods, enabling candidates to establish a secure, universal online career profile. Using that profile, candidates can quickly apply to any company that accepts ResumePal by simply entering their ResumePal ID and password. Instead of spending hours filling out separate individual applications for each employer, candidates use ResumePal to populate these long job applications in just two-clicks over a web browser or mobile web device such as an iPhone or BlackBerry.
Subsequent updates made to a candidate's profile -- such as contact information, continued education, additional skills and most recent professional experience -- can be propagated everywhere that a candidate has applied using ResumePal, keeping employers current with each applicant's latest credentials and contact details.
Employers also benefit from ResumePal through the ability to quickly and easily identify the most qualified applicants for each position through Jobfox's patent pending, skills-based matching technology. In addition, employers stand to reduce online recruitment advertising costs through ResumePal. Typically, at least 50% of the candidates visiting an employer's career website today leave the site without applying to any jobs, wasting employment advertising dollars.
