Technical innovation has taken the power and reach previously reserved for large companies that could afford powerful tools and made them affordable to anyone who has the ambition to use them. From desktop publishing to spreadsheets, email, and online search, we’ve come a very long way in a short time.

Small companies can produce videos, post them on YouTube, become overnight viral sensations, and compete with large established brands. The same can be said for recruiting top talent.

Here are two new Taleo summary reports for SMBs that can get you up to speed quickly:

What SMBs Should Look for in an Applicant Tracking System summarizes the features that small and medium businesses need to more effectively source, track, report, stay compliant, and integrate their recruiting processes.
