San Francisco, CA – October 13, 2004 – Taleo Corporation, the leading provider of staffing management services and solutions, today announced that Mosaic, a leading field sales and marketing company, selected Taleo Assessment™ as a key addition to its enterprise staffing strategy. Mosaic, a current Taleo client, uses Taleo’s talent management solutions and will incorporate Taleo Assessment into its staffing processes to determine quality, best-fit candidates for hourly positions. Nearly 90 percent of Mosaic’s workforce is comprised of hourly employees.
“The team at Mosaic recognizes the importance of staffing quality, best-fit candidates for our customer projects and events, and we were looking for a comprehensive assessment tool to incorporate into our overall staffing management strategy,” stated Jason Leonard, director of talent acquisition, Mosaic. He continued, “We selected Taleo Assessment because we are pleased with the process improvements and value that Taleo’s staffing solutions bring to our organization and wanted to build upon our successes in the area of more in-depth pre-screening and assessments.”
He continued, “We hire approximately 10,000 hourly employees a year, and with Taleo’s comprehensive staffing and assessment solutions in place, our team will be on track to ensure we have quality employees in the right job, at the right time. By incorporating Taleo Assessment into our staffing strategy the Mosaic team will maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace, having the ability to scientifically assess our workforce, ensuring quality, best-fit employees for customer events and projects.”
Taleo Assessment is built on the Taleo Enterprise Staffing Management Suite™ technology platform and provides organizations with the technology, services, content and tools to manage the right assessment strategy across the entire organization. The Taleo Assessment solution also supports multiple assessment content providers on a single platform, including content from third-parties, customer proprietary assessments and Taleo Industrial Psychologist developed validated assessments. Mosaic chose to incorporate Taleo’s assessments into its overall assessment strategy and is working with a senior Taleo I/O Psychologist to customize Taleo’s ACE Retail Assessments to their unique staffing environment.
Taleo Founder and VP of Product Management Martin Ouellet stated, “Working closely with Mosaic, we have developed tailored assessments, incorporated directly into the workflow, that are best suited to the company’s business needs and job requirements. The Assessment solution goes beyond the background, skills and experiences of candidates and assesses how candidates are likely to react in certain retail situations, and how they are likely to relate to customers, peers and managers.” He added, “We look forward to continuously providing cutting-edge assessments and solutions for Mosaic.”
Human Resource Executive Magazine recently awarded Taleo Assessment as “Product of the Year” for the value it brings to organizations seeking to incorporate a detailed assessment strategy into the overall enterprise staffing management process.
