Human Resources: Taleo and AIRS Form Strategic Partnership to Launch Taleo TalentReach CRM

DUBLIN, Calif., Nov. 19 -- Taleo Corporation , the leading provider of on
demand talent management solutions, and AIRS, a leader in recruitment
training, technology and outsourcing, today announced a strategic
partnership with the launch of Taleo TalentReach.

Under the agreement, Taleo will offer the complete suite of AIRS
SourcePoint solutions under the name Taleo TalentReach powered by AIRS.
The comprehensive set of solutions will allow organizations to increase
their ability to source talented people by reaching the right talent
anywhere in the world and developing a talent pipeline. In addition,
organizations can also measure the effectiveness of their sourcing
programs for optimal results.

This partnership furthers the relationship between Taleo and AIRS, as
Taleo is currently offering AIRS Training Solutions to customers, which
teach and certify the latest strategies for generating the best
candidates, including sourcing skills, diversity tactics and proactive
recruiting skills.

Global talent shortages and the new generation of workers have changed the
nature of sourcing for talent. The new generation of workers grew up on
the Internet, and sourcing for talent now requires two-way communication
early on in the recruiting process, compelling and focused messaging about
the job, and a much more segmented marketing approach to job seekers.
Taleo TalentReach powered by AIRS allows organizations to be more
effective in sourcing for talent by giving them access to millions of
passive candidates in order to help them build their talent pools, market
their employment brand, and aid in the hiring of qualified talent to drive
their company's business performance.

"We're very excited about partnering with Taleo, as our combined solutions
will give organizations the tools they need to identify and build
relationships with various types of talent regardless of their current
employment status," said Chris Forman, CEO of AIRS. "We look forward to a
long and mutually beneficial relationship."

The comprehensive suite of sourcing tools provides a single platform that
offers several features that allow recruiters to source for qualified
talent. These features include:

-Access to AIRS' 40 million passive candidate profiles
-CRM and e-mail marketing capabilities that allow recruiters to build
talent pools
-The ability to search multiple job boards and Web sites and keep only
one record of the search criteria, which results in easy OFCCP Compliance

The Taleo TalentReach Solution powered by AIRS offers unique integration
giving recruiters access to the AIRS SourcePoint solution and the ability
to export search results into Taleo seamlessly.

"With a tight labor market, skills shortages and the changing demographics
of the workforce, organizations need to do everything in their power to
ensure they retain and source for top talent," said Michael Gregoire,
president and CEO, Taleo. "Combining our market leading talent management
solutions with AIRS' strong sourcing technology and training, we'll be
able to help organizations find the talent they need and win the war for
talent."
