Press Release Body = -Two Products in Leaders Quadrant Due to Recent Acquisition of
BrassRing-

Mumbai : December 18,2006 - - Kenexa® (NASDAQ: KNXA), a leading provider of talent
acquisition and retention solutions, today announced it has been positioned in the
"leaders" quadrant of Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant for E-Recruitment Software.[1]
Kenexa has two products in the leaders' quadrant due to its recent acquisition of
BrassRing.

Gartner evaluated more than 15 vendors that provide Internet recruitment
applications to companies with more than 2,500 employees. Gartner identified
several key product differentiators, such as the flexibility of data and workflow,
job board posting, onboarding, content and multinational support. "The products
have developed to the point that many vendors can provide solid functionality for
the full requisition-to-hire process," states the Gartner report. It continues,
"Leaders in the e-recruitment software market have products that can meet the
challenges presented by large, complex global organizations. These vendors have
strong track records in the market, and demonstrate strong sales and marketing
execution. The leaders also typically have a well-articulated strategy that
includes deeper focus on talent acquisition or a broader focus on talent management,
succession management and compensation management."

Kenexa has two products in the leaders' quadrant: Kenexa Recruiter and Kenexa
Recruiter BrassRing. The latter is the result of Kenexa's acquisition of BrassRing,
which was completed on November 13, 2006.

Rudy Karsan, CEO of Kenexa, shared, "Kenexa's family of recruiting solutions
addresses the needs of companies large and small. We believe the inclusion of our
enterprise offerings - Kenexa Recruiter and Kenexa Recruiter BrassRing - in the
leaders quadrant, as well as the evaluation of our corporate strengths by Gartner in
this well respected report, reflect the hard work of our team and the value we
deliver to customers every day."
