Pretentious Parsing Patent: Kenexa Sues Taleo

September 10, 2007

Kenexa sues Taleo, and Jason Corsello at the Human Capitalist says it’s because Taleo is eating Kenexa’s lunch. Kenexa’s financial statements make that easy to believe.

Suggestion for both of these stuggling Web 1.0 talent-management wannabes: get out of the court room and get back to your development labs. A new day is dawning: WPF-based workforce management solutions delivered on a multi-tenant, back-office integrated database, all surrounded by online candiate portals and vendor management interfaces.

I’m talking of course about Vista-certified Tempworks, deployable anywhere in the world with one-click technology.

Sloppy Jobseekers Or Thoughtless Technology?
