INVESTOR ALERT: KGS Notifies TALEO Corporation Purchasers With Losses Greater Than $200,000 of Lead Plaintiff Application Deadline in Securities Class Action Lawsuit -- TLEO

Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC ("KGS") announces that a securities class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, on behalf of purchasers of the securities and common stock of Taleo Corporation, ("Taleo") (NASDAQ: TLEO) during the period between October 4, 2005 and November 10, 2008, inclusive (the "Class Period"). No class has yet been certified in this action.

Taleo and certain of its officers are charged with violating the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, for issuing a series of materially false statements that concealed and failed to disclose the true financial and operational condition of the Company and the efficacy of the Company's controls and procedures. Specifically, the complaint charges that defendants misled or failed to inform the investing public regarding the Company's historical and current accounting practices with respect to the timing for recognition of application and consulting revenues under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") -- the effect of which was to improperly accelerate the recognition of revenues.

Investors only learned the truth about the Company on or about November 10, 2008, when Taleo reported results well below expectations and revealed that it had employed improper revenue recognition procedures. As a result of this belated disclosure, shares of Taleo common stock fell almost 30% -- over $3.00 per share -- in the single trading-day.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff in this class action lawsuit, you must move the Court no later than January 16, 2009. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
