You’ve seen Nate Swanson of ThinkPanmure on ERE talking about Kenexa’s challenges, the waning value of job boards, and BrassRing customers reluctant to renew.
He has, however, been bullish on Taleo. Swanson — who like Randy Mehl is one of the few stock analysts really focused on HR companies — is now taking a job there, as VP of investor and analyst relations.
Taleo’s CFO Katy Murray says that in addition to the investor/analyst duties, Swanson will “work closely with the corporate development team in developing and executing on our market and strategic opportunities.”
Carolyn Bass and Market Street Partners have been working with Taleo on investor relations; they’ll be handing it over to Swanson.
