As a valued customer, I wanted to personally inform you of some exciting news. Earlier today, Taleo announced a definitive agreement to acquire Vurv.  

This announcement marks an important milestone for talent management.  I am very excited about this agreement because it allows Taleo to deliver even greater value to you, and all of our clients, by focusing the industry’s leading talent management resources on a single team. We will have:

• Stronger service and support
• Broader global reach
• Deeper domain expertise
• A broader solution offering
• A larger development team

This combination will extend Taleo’s leadership in talent management, allowing us to serve the largest customer base in the both the Enterprise and SMB markets.  This acquisition helps Taleo realize our vision and accelerate our delivery of the next generation unified talent management platform.

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval, and is expected to be completed prior to the end of the second quarter of 2008.  Until the deal closes, each company will continue to operate independently, and it is business as usual.

I invite you to learn more about this acquisition at www.taleo.com/vurv.  Your Taleo Client Executive will be reaching out to you in the coming weeks to answer any additional questions you may have.  

We are dedicated to maintaining and increasing the quality of innovation, support, and service you have come to expect from Taleo.  We look forward to serving your needs as you drive performance through your largest and most important asset: your people.

Warm Regards, 



Michael Gregoire
Chairman and CEO
