About Us
Experts in Fit
Solutions come in many shapes and sizes. When it comes to your project, you need a solution that fits. Consulting expertise meticulously tailored to meet your goals.
Other factors contributing to our uniqueness include:
- Unique Factor #1 - Taleo is invested in our client’s success. We provide an additional level of support by pairing our consultants with an in-house senior project manager who, throughout the lifecycle of the assignment, acts as an advisor to the consultant. This provides additional experience and wisdom, which is brought to bear on the client’s project. Our clients benefit in the form of reduced risk, increase probability of success and better project outcomes. All of this is provided at no additional costs. Consider it a complimentary quality insurance program.
- Unique Factor #2 – Over the years we have developed an understanding of how to increase success on our consulting assignments. Comprehensive communication and well-defined expectations establish the vital foundation that projects require to have a higher probability for success. To this end every Taleo engagement follows an established framework, which is led, by our consultant and supported by our in-house senior project manager. This Taleo team collaborates directly with the client sponsor to define expectations at the start of an assignment; maintain an ongoing assessment of progress and direction during the assignment; and complete a close out review at the end of the engagement. These value-add services are provided at no additional costs to our clients. This disciplined but non-onerous approach to client engagements consistently leads to a successful conclusion. This is why clients routinely invite us back to engage on their most important and difficult initiatives.
At Taleo, we offer a range of professional consulting services in the fields of Program and Project Management, Business Analysis, Change Management, Project Control and Project Scheduling. We pride ourselves on our ability to match clients with consultants that meet the requirements for skill and experience, while also matching our clients’ needs in terms of cultural fit, aptitude and personality.
Taleo was founded in 2010 as a response to the commodity-based approach to consulting taken by large body shops. In an effort to avoid delivering inconsistent results to clients, we’ve taken a different approach.
Differentiators:
Many firms offering consulting related services tend to be recruiters focused on amassing large resume databases. We are quite the opposite. Taleo does not accept resumes from any and all consultants who express interest. Instead, we invest in assessing consultants, validating their skills and experience, understanding their personality and individual work style. We then determine if we will add them to our team or not. Over the years we have been building our portfolio of competent consultants and saying no to those deemed mediocre or less. Our goal is to have a portfolio of the best, proven, competent professionals who consistently deliver results on client engagements. When you work with Taleo you have access to this portfolio versus a data warehouse of resumes and non-assessed individuals. When we share a consultant’s profile with a client, they know that this person is established, capable and has been qualified by Taleo. As a result of our quality approach, our consultants land 76% of the assignments they interview for and are invited to extend their contracts 89% of the time.
