The leading provider of on-demand talent management solutions, Taleo Corp. launched a groundbreaking social, collaboration and visualization capabilities providing the enterprises with Talent Intelligence to address top business issues. The new abilities primarily alter how companies leverage their talent to tackle the top two challenges facing CEOs today, Growth and Talent.

These new capabilities enable enterprises to better know their people and grow their business.”

Taleo Corp is the first vendor to reach beyond the conventional search by ensuring visual search and on-the-fly filtering to pinpoint talent.

It also joins Talent Reviews and Performance Calibration as examples of how Taleo has embedded real-time visual analytics to support better decision making and also includes analytics that give an instant snapshot of any team or organization.

Bret Leech, vice president of Human Resources at Rogers Communications, said, “We are in a talent management renaissance, moving into a new era where we need to leverage talent to effectively anticipate and respond quickly to business needs.
