Leading Staffing Management Solutions Provider Will Underwrite Three Key Learning Tracks – Diane Pardee, Senior Vice President of Marketing &Communication appointed to the Board
Washington, DC – May 3, 2004 – The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a not-for-profit think tank and educator, announces the participation of Taleo (formerly Recruitsoft) as a founding sponsor. Taleo will fund research and development of the HCI Learning Tracks “Global Talent Management,” “Assessment, Selection and Hiring Strategies,” and “Contingent Workforce Management.”
“Progressive organizations like Taleo and its focus on workforce logistics are vital partners for the success of HCI. We are excited and very pleased to have Taleo’s support for these three critical learning areas and welcome Diane to our board,” says Allan Schweyer, Executive Director of HCI. “Taleo was an ideal choice to sponsor these tracks because of its extensive involvement and experience in developing solutions for organizations concerned with advancing strategies in talent management.”
The three tracks each deal with optimizing how organizations acquire and manage talent – with the management tracks addressing specific workforce groups. A thought leadership panel, comprised of industry analysts and practitioners, will be assembled for each track to begin work in outlining deliverables.
