WAYNE, Pa. October 24, 2007 – Kenexa® (Nasdaq: KNXA), a leading provider of talent acquisition and retention solutions, today announced that the company has been ranked 278 on Software Magazine’s Software 500 ranking of the world’s largest software and service providers.

Now in its 25th year, the Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world’s largest software and services suppliers targeting medium to large enterprises, their IT professionals, software developers and business managers involved in software and services purchasing.

Kenexa’s software offerings include award-winning products and corresponding services that help companies identify, assess and select the right talent and then maximize individual performance against organizational objectives. Kenexa’s unique approach combines three core competencies of software, employee research science and business process consulting for talent acquisition and performance management. The company’s technology is supported by specialists in the behavioral and industrial sciences and by HR process experts.

John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com, commented, “The 2007 Software 500 results show that growth in the software and services industry was healthy from 2006 to 2007, the ranking year. The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create a short list of potential business partners. It is a quick reference of vendor viability.”

The Software 500 ranking, which can be accessed at www.softwaremag.com, is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2006. This includes revenues from software licenses, maintenance and support, training and software-related services and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on their total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co. and posted at www.Softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents.
