New Partnership: Simply Hired and Taleo

This morning, Simply Hired and Taleo announced a partnership to help launch the Talent Exchange®, which is an online marketplace for candidates and companies and part of Taleo’s Talent Grid® cloud community. Job seekers on the Talent Exchange now have access to their database of more than three million US jobs and provide Taleo customers with the ability to post their own job openings.

In addition, companies can source opt-in candidates directly into their Taleo Recruiting solution. Likewise, candidates can create a universal profile – a robust, differentiating experience summary – that they can share across prospective Taleo employers on the Talent Exchange.

Finally, Taleo has implemented a source tracking capability which automatically tracks candidates from SimplyHired.com’s network through Taleo Recruiting. This will enable customers to accurately determine recruiting effectiveness and ROI. Also, as part of the partnership, Taleo and Simply Hired are working together to improve the job search process for candidates through the use of the universal profile on the SimplyHired.com website as well as the Talent Exchange.

The Talent Exchange, announced earlier this month, is available today for both candidates and customers and can be found at http://www.talentexchange.com.
