IT Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Has many features in need of improvement, including its monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support

The solution has many areas in need of improvement. I cannot cite just one or two. These include management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support, by way of example. A checklist should be included and the user interface should be addressed. The solution has a function which allows one to give feedback for every employee and to do so overall. The visibility, GUI and features involved in the feedback function are not up to snuff. Employee service details are an issue.

Industry-standard stack enables better load handling for large-scale companies

With Taleo, I experience two limitations. First, it only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern. The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating offers.

Cons

"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."

"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic."

"The product was not very sophisticated in terms of what it could do."

"For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability."

"With Taleo, I experience two limitations. First, it only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern. The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating offers."

"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."

"I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo."

"Oracle Taleo felt a bit outdated, and we didn't use it for every step of the candidate process. We mainly used it to track job IDs, create job requisitions, and add candidates when making an offer. It wasn't very user-friendly for moving candidates through different stages of the recruitment lifecycle."

"There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down."
