According to an article on Philly.com, the resulting entity will be known as Shanghai Kenexa and have more than 140 employees and six locations.

Kenexa sought to partner with R&J Management Consultants, which is based in Shanghai for its expertise in recruiting services and local leadership.

“As the Chinese economy continues to grow, the competition for recruiting and retaining the best employees will increase,” said Rudy Karsan, Kenexa’s chief executive. “This market represents significant opportunities for both companies.
