Acxiom® Corporation
(NASDAQ: ACXM), a global leader in interactive marketing services,
announced today a strategic alliance between its wholly owned
subsidiary, Acxiom Information Security Services, Inc., and Taleo, a
leader in on-demand talent management. Acxiom will integrate its
real-time employee background screening solutions with Taleo’s
Unified Talent Management Platform, which will deliver a Web-based,
single-source, custom solution to address personnel management
requirements.
With this partnership, Taleo’s proven
Passport Integration Framework will be certified to deliver easily
accessible FCRA-compliant reports provided by Acxiom including criminal
record checks, credit reports and driving records. These reports, in
combination with others such as employment, drug testing, education and
professional license verifications, help businesses reduce turnover and
shrinkage, decrease training costs and increase productivity while
protecting the integrity of the companies utilizing them.
“Both Taleo and Acxiom customers now have a
one-stop source for the job application background tracking process,”
said Mike Cool, Acxiom’s background screening
group organizational leader. “Businesses can’t
afford to take unnecessary hiring risks. Acxiom’s
customer-centric approach to background screening gives companies the
most accurate information available to protect their company and their
brand.”
More than 3,600 organizations of all sizes use Taleo to attract, hire
and retain top talent from 200 countries/territories in 25 languages.
Taleo combines software, best practices and services to allow
organizations to increase process efficiency, improve quality of hire,

“Taleo is dedicated to helping its customers
ensure the best staff engagement: from recruiting and hiring, through
development and succession planning,” said
Jeff McClure, senior director of alliances at Taleo. “Through
this partnership with Acxiom, customers can go to one source for
background screening reports to reduce risk and employee turnover, and
improve the quality of new hires engaged from the beginning.”
Acxiom’s background screening platform
integration will be certified utilizing the Taleo Passport Integration
Framework.
