Publishing giant Reed Elsevier has chosen Taleo, the talent management business, to help attract the best talent and allow better internal mobility within the organisation.

Following a competitive tender process involving seven other vendors, Reed Elsevier decided it would use Taleo Recruiting to help automate paper-based resources.

Chris Phillips, vice-president of international marketing at Taleo, says: “The company’s large talent pool was potentially a great competitive advantage for them, but they had no way of effectively managing this asset.

“As well as making this internal information accessible, Taleo has implemented a career portal to ensure a consistent and easy-to-use candidate experience.”
