Vemo is another provider with a great product and strong expertise in workforce planning. I would say Vemo (Workforce Planning).

Both but increasingly App to App. PreVisor for example pioneered Webservices with HR XML protocols for assessment providers.

Psychometric,

When you say “two real testing players integrated with Taleo,” do you mean app > app or data > app, or both?

My knowledge was gathered through this due diligence process. We quickly discovered there are really only two real testing players integrated with Taleo: SHL and PreVisor. Compared to other assessment providers, they have a core competency in web services. As for gross margin, all on-line assessment companies have high gross margins. SHL's numbers were there for all to see, as they were public until they went private in 2006 with an MBO backed by Hg Capital.

Based on the fact that SHL and Previsor are privately held... where are your quotes regarding "revenue % through ATS providers" and "gross margin and profitability" coming from??

Not highly consulting oriented countries. Over 50% of SHL and PreVisor revenues now run through integrations with ATS providers. All high margin product revenue that is already 'passed through' Taleo like platforms. Why buy a services business with an expensive consulting force? Finally, SHL is a global player across all job families, while I admit PreVisor is more high volume call center/customer service roles.
