Taleo Continues Strong Growth With Accelerating Customer Adoption of the Taleo Platform
DUBLIN, CA--(Marketwire - February 15, 2011) - Taleo Corporation (
These customers mark the company's continued expansion across key verticals, ranging from retail to government to healthcare to insurance. Enterprises now using the Taleo platform include: Aflac, Alcatel-Lucent, Brady Corporation, Cook County, IL, Electrocomponents, Frost National Bank, Hitachi Data Systems, Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development, Rehab Care, Total Systems and UNC Healthcare.
Central to the Taleo 10 design and its success with new customers is a powerful user experience; social collaboration to more effectively recruit and develop the workforce; mobile access to make talent management solutions easily available; and cloud-based infrastructure to remove the barriers to accessing technology and expertise.
"We were impressed by the functionality of the Taleo 10 platform," commented Jon Hull, Resourcing Director for Electrocomponents. "It is very intuitive to use, both for applicants and hiring managers, which is crucial to driving adoption of the technology internally and ensuring that potential employees are not put off halfway through the application process. Taleo will also make a big difference to our reporting metrics. We have quite a geographically diverse workforce, so the ability to quickly and easily gain an insight into what is going on in a specific region will be hugely valuable, not just for the resourcing teams but throughout the business."
"The Taleo implementation support team made our transition to the Taleo platform run smoothly. Alfac's implementation of Taleo 10 was completed on-time and within budget. Our recruiters are enjoying a more user-friendly ATS and impressive metrics reporting," said Amy Giglio, Talent Acquisition, Aflac.
"We were impressed by the functionality of the Taleo 10 platform and our implementation efforts have gone very smoothly. Taleo's support has been world class, particularly for an internationally diverse organization like ours," said Michèle Pagé, Head of Human Resource Management, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
As businesses look to move beyond recessionary constraints their emphasis is on growth, resulting in a need to have insight into their workforces in order to know their people and grow their businesses. Today, there is a significant gap between the 'Talent Intelligence' required by organizations to steer their growth initiatives and the limited insight they currently have on their talent assets. Taleo's strategy aims to close the "talent intelligence gap" identified by more than 75% of companies who do not have access to the information they need about their people to inform business decisions.
Customers using Taleo to optimize their talent management processes, report benefits that include increased speed, efficiency and visibility to make the right decisions about the right people for their businesses. Taleo is the only public company to offer a complete suite of solutions for a talent-optimized organization including recruiting, performance, compensation and learning management.
