What is "taleo"

Taleo Corporation was a publicly traded database vendor based in Dublin, California. Taleo's product offerings primarily focus on talent acquisition ( recruitment), performance management, learning and development, and compensation management. These capabilities combine to provide what Taleo calls "Talent Intelligence" - an enhanced level of insight into candidates and employees. Taleo sells its Human resource management system (HRMS / HRIS) products entirely via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, in which all software and information resides in data centers operated and secured by Taleo.

On February 9, 2012, Oracle Corporation acquired Taleo Corporation for $1.9 billion.

Oracle Corporation continues to use the Taleo software name for its talent-management software suite. As of December 2013, Taleo software had over 20 million users.
