SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced that the Adecco Group—one of the world's leading providers of HR solutions—is expanding its use of Salesforce to develop an intelligent front office solution, built in collaboration with Salesforce AppExchange partner Talent Rover.

The new solution will enable the Adecco Group to manage all customer touchpoints in one place, including candidates, recruiters and customers. In addition, it will allow the Adecco Group to closely monitor customers' demand for talent, and improve the speed, accuracy and flexibility with which it matches candidates to that demand.
