Taleo Selected by NCO Group for Global Recruiting Solution

Taleo Corporation (NASDAQ: TLEO), the leading provider of on demand talent management solutions, today announced that NCO Group, Inc., a global provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) and accounts receivable management services, will deploy Taleo’s industry leading recruiting solution across its worldwide operations, starting with the United States and Canada in early spring. NCO Group selected the solution based on Taleo’s global reach, flexible integration with other HR technologies, and depth of functionality when it came to online recruiting of the salaried and hourly candidates that make up the company’s talent pool.

"As a BPO service provider, our 27,500 employees are at the core of our service offerings — without them, we simply can’t deliver on our client initiatives to reduce operating expenses, increase cash flow, and improve the customers’ experience," said Cherie Sugg, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, NCO Group. "We needed a recruiting solution that helped us uncover the best candidates for positions in our operation centers across the globe. Taleo not only offered the most robust recruiting solution, but their proven expertise within the financial services space made them even more attractive as we made our purchase decision."
