Taleo Launches Talent Intelligence for Small and Medium Businesses
DUBLIN, CA--(Marketwire - July 15, 2010) - Taleo Corporation (
Most companies have transactional information on their staff such as title, salary and benefits. However, the majority lack a centralized view of their best and high potential performers, their "flight risks" and their areas for exposure in hiring, managing, developing and compensating their teams. This kind of "Talent Intelligence" is often the difference in a volatile global economy between growth and failure. In fact, a recent study by Taleo Research found that nearly all companies surveyed require greater insight on their people assets, but less than 25% have the tools to gain such insights today.
Taleo Business Edition Insight is available today for companies with up to 5,000 employees; it is the latest addition to Taleo's Talent Intelligence value proposition for companies of all sizes.
About Taleo Insight
Taleo's Insight provides a single view into all aspects of the company's workforce including past experience, current performance and career development plans and aspirations. It is designed specifically to address ease of use, cost and configurability, all of which are crucial to small and mid-sized organizations. Taleo Insight embeds analytics functionality across Taleo's on-demand product suite, including: Taleo Recruit™, Taleo Perform™, Taleo Onboard™, and Taleo Compensation™, enabling businesses to create a richer profile of workforce talent, and then make decisions based on that view. With more than 40 pre-configured reports, Taleo Insight helps answer today's most crucial business questions such as:
- What is the flight risk of our top performers?
- Are we hiring the right people?
- Does our compensation strategy work?
- Are we meeting compliance requirements?
- Is our work driving the right impact?
"This is the first time SMBs have had access to such insightful and cost effective analytics. Those who've tried previously have needed a heavy investment in IT resources and consulting," said Michael Gregoire, Chairman and CEO of Taleo. "This solution highlights the power of our open standards-based cloud delivery platform to embed powerful analytics into our solutions."
"The key to rebuilding our economy is using tools like Taleo Insight to help us understand the logistics of talent. The key to any substantial recovery is a good inventory. From there, you can figure out what's possible. Without it, you're just guessing," said John Sumser, CEO, HR Examiner. "Anyone can talk in general terms about talent shortages. Without easy to use tools to understand what you have and how to deploy, it's just smoke."
Taleo Insight is available now.
