DUBLIN, CA -- 04/14/08 --
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)
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."
NCO Group has been operating since 1926 and is now an industry leader in
providing clients with successful BPO solutions, including accounts
receivable management, customer relationship management services, and back
office services across a broad range of industries. NCO Group operates a
global network of more than 140 operations centers in locations that
include the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Panama, the Caribbean,
India, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Mexico.

application that supported companies such as NCO Group in their quest to
hire candidates in locations across the globe," said Michael Gregoire,
president and CEO of Taleo. "With Taleo Recruiting, companies can have it
all -- a scalable, configurable, easy-to-use recruiting solution that
