Taleo sells its products entirely via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, in which all software and information resides in data centers operated and secured by Taleo. As of August 2011, Taleo reported it had more than 5,000 customers ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to large global enterprises, including nearly half of the Fortune 100.

// See the Monolog documentation to check which levels are available.
// By default, Taleo PHP Library doesn't log anything (log level set to ALERT)
// except ALERT, triggered by errors.
// If you change this to DEBUG, it will log almost everything.
// By default, the logfile is in the default PHP temporary directory,
// Under the name of "Taleo.log"
// You can use a second parameter to define the file to use.
// You can also use 'php://stdout' to debug quickly.
// Do not forget to disable the DEBUG level when in Production !
