Stuck in the Middle

When it comes to the talent management and recruiting systems market, you usually see solutions tailored for the small and medium business or the large global enterprise.

Companies caught in the middle choose from the top end of the bottom or the bottom end of the top. Defining this middle market is even difficult to articulate. Your needs don’t fit these molds. There you are: smack dab in the middle.

For small and medium sized enterprises, selecting a talent management suite or justifying a performance management system entails a significant investment of time and money. Do you compromise on features and hope to not outgrow the system? Or risk budget, timing, and success with a more robust solution?

Talent can have a much larger impact on medium sized organizations than on a large enterprise, however there are typically fewer resources—people, money, systems—to invest in the talent management challenge. This can sometimes put smaller enterprises at a disadvantage in the war for talent when competing with larger enterprises for the same talent.

Medium sized enterprises need every competitive edge they can get; yet, the talent management vendor community has done very little for the growing medium-sized enterprise company—until now.

At Taleo, our product and service groups have combined best practices, easy configuration, and packaged implementation. Our team looked at nearly a decade of customer success to build a methodology based on proven practices for medium sized companies.

The new packaged solution, dubbed Taleo Edge, gives the middle market company the benefits of a faster and lower-cost competitive edge in the war for talent with:

  • Core enterprise recruiting functionality with configuration.
  • Guided implementation methodology and deployment.
  • Packaged best practice templates, content libraries, and guides.
  • Remote system administration and integration.
  • Bundled training, eLearning, and support.

Check it out if you are stuck in the middle but still want to take advantage of a leading solution.
