It's huge, as it is revenue for us as we sell our training to hospitals and hospital systems, as well as through e-commerce for individual purchases.

Oh yes, when we began to utilize e-signatures it saved us a lot of money because prior to that we were manually documenting completion, we have 12,000 employees so it was a lot easier to put a notice up and have an electronic signature in which everyone signs off and then report on it.

It works okay, I've found good resources using Taleo, it saved me a lot of time, I just put a requisition in and then I just grab the candidates, the resumes, and I scan them, okay, I want this guy, I don't want that guy, the rest is done by HR, so it's less trouble for me as a manager, and I am dealing with a very special group of people.

I think we have faster on-boarding time, it is mobile and you can use it anywhere, and it's also more cost effective because it doesn't take as many people to do it.

It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features.

Also, the users didn’t like Learn. It was not as user friendly and simple (step-wise) as our legacy system. We didn’t anticipate how much they would hate Learn.

Customer support. It is very cold, you put a ticket in and you might get a response back an hour or two later.

When editing some components such as requisitions, the solution does not respond quickly in terms of performance, maybe because of the technology in which the solution is currently built.

Although I know that the Oracle Development team is working on it for next releases, there are certain areas where functionality could be improved in the Learning Module (better integration with the other modules, and in terms of reporting).

Because when Oracle claims that, "Oh, it's all on the business side," it's not.

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.

It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT.
