Jason wrote about Taleo<\/a> a few weeks ago, and in a rare moment I completely agree.\u00a0 Actually, I usually do agree with Jason which is a bit disappointing since I like picking fights.<\/p>\n

My only concerns with Taleo are 1) they are showing up late to the broader talent management party and 2) talent management “suite” buyers today are not “beach-heading” in recruitment.\u00a0 Buying recruitment + performance simply isn’t happening in the market right now.\u00a0 They are buying performance and compensation and performance + learning + succession.\u00a0 They are not buying recruitment and performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taleo keeps stating that they are about to move into the broader talent market, and other talent vendors have picked up recruiting platforms.\u00a0 Think Authoria and hire.com, Vurv overall beginning a long time ago as RecruitMax, Kenexa and webhire.\u00a0 There would seem to be some linkage between talent acquisition and talent management.\u00a0 In fact, at this moment there is not.\u00a0 The linkage has to go through the core HR system, something that none of these point solutions are currently providing and don\u2019t seem to plan to.\u00a0 The only thing all of these vendor have going for them is that recruitment should share the same backbone of competencies throughout the talent lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I wrote<\/a> about Taleo last year.\u00a0 I think it still applies:<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell if I like what\u2019s going on at Taleo or not.\u00a0 Hurry up already and release (or buy) the rest of the talent management system.\u00a0 While the rest of the talent vendors increasingly gain market share, Taleo is sitting on the sidelines being satisfied with recruiting.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to get into talent management (performance, comp, succession\u2026) when you\u2019re two years late.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
