Taleo Acquires Learn.com

Extends Talent Management Breadth; Powers Social and Formal Learning

Taleo has become the only public vendor offering best-in-class talent management solutions across the four critical components of a talent-optimized organization: recruiting management to source, assess, and acquire talent; performance management to establish goals and create  career and succession plans; compensation management to establish a true  "pay-for-performance" process between corporate objectives and individual contributions; and learning management to support social and formal learning and development.

Every aspect of Taleo’s ecosystem benefits from this acquisition, here is how:

CUSTOMERS

This merger benefits both Learn.com and Taleo customers. They can continue working with their existing solutions while connecting to the only talent management platform with best-in-class solutions in every category from a single vendor.

PARTNERS

Taleo now has 5,100 customers and more relationships than ever before. We are deeply committed to our open, flexible approach for delivering joint solutions to our customers with even more opportunities to collaborate and provide our joint customers with tightly integrated, industry leading solutions.

EMPLOYEES

This is an exciting time for both Learn.com and Taleo employees. This acquisition marks a new milestone in the company's history and positions us for tremendous growth as we set the direction for the entire talent management industry. There is very little overlap between the two companies and the vast majority of employees will continue in their same or expanded roles as we grow together.

SHAREHOLDERS

This acquisition expands Taleo's addressable market to $13B and positions us as the largest vendor with best-in-class capabilities across every major pillar of talent management. We believe that our unified talent management platform will accelerate demand across every aspect of our business and positions us as the clear industry leader.
