Nov. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Kenexa , a global provider of business solutions for human resources, today announced that Eli Lilly and Company , the 10th largest pharmaceutical company in the world, will be using Kenexa’s global recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) services in some of the major markets where Lilly conducts business globally. The five year engagement represents Kenexa’s largest global RPO partnership, and also includes Kenexa’s award-winning onboarding, recruiting, assessment, and survey solutions and employment branding.
