Oracle Taleo Cloud Reviews

Pros

Taleo Business Edition is an easy-to-use application that serves basic ATS functionality that most small to medium sized company could benefit from.

Cons

Ad-hoc reporting can be frustrating due to the way the data is presented in the reports. Table joins are clunky and can cause duplicate data to be presented in the reports.

Pros

It's easy to use, great applicant tracking system and has most functions needed for recruiting.

Cons

Sometimes when you are inputting a requisition and you submit it, the requisition disappears and does not save in your drafts so you have to start over again. Also, when multiple tabs are open of Taleo and you are reviewing candidate's under one requisition, it will automatically take you to another requisition and their candidates which can cause for some confusion.

Pros

1. It has a lot of features to support recruitment
2. easy to use and user-friendly
3. highly secure

Cons

Tot as innovative in terms of new features and updates compared to some of the newer competitors in the market

Pros

Oracle Taleo has the mechanisms of managing all the candidates and offering the right details before the employment.

Cons

Oracle Taleo has all the features that makes every tracking for candidates effective.

Pros

I can only speak for the features as a Hiring Manager. I am responsible to creating the requisition to HR/TA. From my perspective, I find it very easy to use but the most important feature I recognize is the ability to add questions to each requisition and automatically discard applicants based on the answers. That reduces the amount of resumes I have to see to just 10% and most likely we can quickly find good candidate.

Cons

The interface is probably not the most beautiful one, it is like any other ERP we very basic usability and plain design.

Pros

The best aspect of OTC is the ability to allow for our various job boards to scrape our active roles from taleo to post to their sites

Cons

OTC is not a user friendly platform, for both my recruiting team and candidates.

Alternatives Considered

Switched From

It offers an integrated HRIS and full range of talent management modules to support the full employee life cycle.

Cons

The learning curve for administrators and users is rather steep and the user interface is rather dated.

Fairly easy to use with some tutorials. Customer interaction is seamless.

Cons

Some of the overview of HR is not seen on the user interface side and it is sometimes difficult to find errors.

It was hard for me to tell which feature I liked

speed of data pulling and loading, lack if intuitiveness, filtering

Pros

I like that all candidate data and metrics are housed in one place.

Cons

The tool is not very intuitive and is very hard to navigate and source and search profiles.

Pros

Easy to use, and well structured and Oracle support team is helpful

Cons

Seems all perfect yet to discover more on this product

Pros

What I liked most about Taleo is it's easy social media integration. Taleo integrates with social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, making it easier for organizations to reach potential candidates and for candidates to apply for jobs.

Cons

Many of the Recruiters found the user interface to be confusing or difficult to navigate

Pros

It is very functional, excellent price, easy to use, easy to learn, it is great to work with it. Makes sense. Logical. It has a good board and design. Easy to see.

Cons

It is very difficult to navigate in it. It lacks a dedicated representative for technical problems. Slow responses It is very strong but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming. It has many different features that need tutorials or training.

Pros

Taleo is an easy-to-use ATS that allows the recruiter to effectively track candidates that have applied for a role or were previously considered for a separate recruitment process. The recruiter dashboard allows the recruiter to have a high level overview of all vacancies as well all candidate applications in process. Requisition notes are easy to update and the user is able to pull a report & export into excel.

Cons

The general look of the Taleo dashboard can seem quite 'busy,' and 'clunky.' Other ATSs on the market seem to be more slick.

Pros

It is an Oracle product so it implements and snycs with existing software well. Being experienced with other Oracle Software I felt the look of the landing page was positive and it was easy to get around the site!

Cons

The Price is very high especially if you want "full features." Felt a little nickled and dimed to get all the features we wanted. Salesman was honest but it was frustrating

Pros

Some pros of this software is The reporting is very robust and easy to use,

Cons

One cone is The recruiter end user experience is not modernized and can be clunky to use at times....

Pros

I like the features and customization Taleo offers. We were able to really make it work well for our business and integrate it with a lot of our other systems outside of Taleo for a more seamless experience for new Associates.

Cons

The initial build and design of the functionality to get it to work "seamlessly" can be lengthy and tough, but one you're past this, it's great!

Pros

Technically it got the job done. Jobs posted, candidates submit and we can review. But nothing is too easy along the way.

Cons

Flash based interface means I can't use modern browsers. Klunky and non-intuitive buttons mean I send reviews to the wrong people. Google Analytics integration, while possible was a nightmare to find someone who could help tell us how to do it.

Pros

I liked the fact that you can use it to manage employees performance and understand how they are doing day to day with the evaluation tools available

Cons

I did not like the different pages and the transition from one page to another

Pros

Easy to learn, user-friendly, great functionality and tools, excellent customer service & customer training.

Cons

Professional Services work- There is an opportunity to do customization to the product but would suggest waiting to see if needed. Customizations are usually where you will have issues when something breaks. The core product is always working but automations is where you may see failures.

Pros

the best of oracle, is its massive capacity to contain and create such large databases, reliable and secure

Cons

I should have more tools, more accessories

Pros

I like the TCC use. Integrating between systems seems to be straightforward and user friendly most of the time.

Cons

Paying by headcount rather than by user. We have employees who are not users, no access to system, but we pay for them per the contract.

Pros

1. Oracle attached to the name therefore people will not need to worry about quality.
2. Suitable for large businesses.

Cons

When you think of Oracle, you can only think of greatness. Unfortunately Taleo does not live up to the mark. The following are the flaws that I have found as a user.
1. Very slow.
2. Too many filters that makes it very confusing for a new user.
3. Not very user friendly as one needs to spend much time in first understanding the product and then use it.
4. Search results are not always accurate.
5. Not as good as its price demands.

Pros

It is better than recruiting from an email inbox and provides some organization to candidates. You can easily find and store candidates all in one place.

Cons

This is an incredibility outdated applicant tracking system. There are much more modern ATS systems available. Posting a job is timely and I spend way more time than I should re-formatting and editing a job requisition. It is also not very customizable. I don't like the interface at all.

Pros

It links through to Oracle so it can bring candidate through to employee seamlessly

Cons

Limited functionality to search and shortlist candidates
