With Taleo’s next release, they regain my number one spot for Talent Acquisition vendors.\u00a0 While they’ve always been at or near the top of my list<\/a>, Taleo has been slipping for a few years due to their inability to execute on a web services strategy.\u00a0 Basically they haven’t opened up their API’s to allow better access to the tables if you’re looking at a integrated HR web strategy.<\/p>\n

Taleo has always been great for their incredibleflexibility, vast functionality, excellent user experience, and their pure ability to execute.\u00a0 Now that they have a web services architecture built on XML (among other technological enhancements) they should easily be near the top of anyone’s list.<\/p>\n

Taleo has also been pretty open about their product direction and plans to enter the Talent Management space.\u00a0 Yes, they’ve been calling themselves TMS in broad terms for ages, but they really do expect to enter the performance and compensation space.\u00a0 I’ll guess they are going to acquire the technology, but who knows?\u00a0 It’s a bit late to the game for Taleo, but they have one of the best names in the business and they have proven over and over that they are one of the few who can execute.<\/p>\n

While this is all happening, I see Recruitmax still struggling with the same problems.\u00a0 The functionality and the broad talent management suite is in place, but their major data center issues hold me back from giving them higher ratings.\u00a0 They really took an opposite approach to Taleo – first acquiring the TMS functionality and then working on the back end.\u00a0 While Taleo’s issues were really around the integration of the product, Recruitmax has larger issues in how teir product is architected for deployment, and they have much further to go from a re-programming perspective.<\/p>\n

All in all, no real changes to the list, but Taleo plants themselves more firmly in my top spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
