Oracle Taleo Reviews

Our company typically uses Taleo at its human resource core. I use their PeopleSoft and use functions from other tools as well - such as Workday. Generally, I really rely on PeopleSoft.

The solution offers good benefits for administrators.

The solution allows for various options using the cloud. It can store data easier and you can access it at any time. 

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.

I've been using the solution for three years.

The solution is pretty stable. Any bugs are generally dealt with quickly. It's a pretty reliable solution.

We haven't had issues with the scalability. We're on the enterprise edition and it seems to meet our needs.

I've been in touch with technical support in the past. They've been good. We haven't had any issues with the level of help we receive. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide.

I also use Workday and find it to be a much better product. I'd choose it over Taleo if I had to.

I don't have any insights into the initial setup. I'm unsure as to if it was straightforward or complex.

The pricing is reasonable. We have the enterprise edition for our company, and it's fairly priced.

We're just customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

I actually prefer a different product, Workday. I would recommend that instead of Taleo.

That said, on a scale from one to ten, I'd still rate Taleo at a nine.

We primarily use this solution for recruiting and onboarding.

We have a public cloud deployment.

The Professional Recruitment feature is good.

The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good.

The bulk recruitment feature does not work well.

In the next release of this solution, I would like to see an Offer Duplication function that would work like the Requisition Duplication feature.

This solution is very stable.

The initial setup of this solution was straightforward. The deployment took us one year, in total.

We had assistance at the initial stage, but the majority of the deployment was done internally.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for recruitment.

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.

The interface isn't so user-friendly. It's a little bit dated.

The next release should have an option for video interviews. Also, it would be helpful to have a more flexible and integrated system for scheduling follow-up interviews and appointments. We should be able to integrate more easily with other HR systems.

The stability of the solution is good.

We haven't contacted technical support yet, as we've only been using the solution one week.

We didn't previously use another solution before implementing Taleo.

The initial setup was complex. Deployment took about three or four weeks.

We had a consultant assist with the implementation.

I would rate the solution five out of ten.

They should provide users with a better, more modern interface and enable more flexibility in managing the datasets. 

We use the cloud deployment model. My primary use case for this solution is for recruiting. 

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

The pricing could be improved.

In the next release, I would like to see new integration points to two new sourcing channels.

The stability is okay.

Scalability is okay. We have three users using this solution. It's a small scale. The users are recruiters. 

This is the first solution of this type that we've used. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We used a consultant for the deployment. 

I would recommend this solution to someone considering it. I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

I am a technical recruiter. I used this to track candidates when working for an IT staffing company.

We had no tracking system prior, so this was a huge improvement.

Since we had no system before (we just kept everything in Outlook), even the most basic features were great.

I don't remember a lot of CRM-type functionality for our salespeople.

• Mobile interface
• Ease of use

I think we have faster on-boarding time. It is mobile and you can use it anywhere. It's also more cost effective because it doesn't take as many people to do it. Employees can log in from where they're at.

The recruiting section needs work.

Sometimes there is a little bit of a lag, and maybe that was more because of our network. I haven't really had an issue with it from any device I was using. It's been pretty consistent.

I haven't had to open any tickets.

I didn't because this is what my company had.

Just keep it simple. Use the instructions and the prompts that you get. Follow the instructions from your HR or talent group.

For me, the most valuable features are the following;

• Its configuration capabilities. You can adapt the solution to give response to your organizational needs.
• It’s really user friendly, intuitive, and an easy to use solution.
• The platform lets users access critical employee information and turn operations into quick and effortless processes with its modules.
• The solution is continuously improving and adding new functionality with three to four releases each year.

With Oracle Taleo, we have automated and standardized our hiring operations. Every new employee has an on-boarding plan, and we have added value to our review and compensation processes with a solution that integrates these systems.

We have reduced time and resources required to deliver outputs. In terms of information and data access, we can run one-click reports with accurate data.

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).

Our company has been using Oracle Taleo Business Edition Cloud since 2014. We also work as implementation consultants with other customers.

We had no issues with the deployment.

We have had no issues with the stability.

We have had no issues scaling it for our needs.

The Oracle Cloud support platform is really helpful. When you create a service request, you can categorize your issue by service and problem type and you can access knowledge related to your issue.

Oracle Support has a 24-hour service to resolve issues.

Project implementations for Taleo used to go really well. Its cloud deployment makes getting the system configured and running easy and in a short period of time .

We are an Oracle Cloud solution implementation specialists and product certificated so we perform the implementation.

Pricing is available by quote only. Contact Oracle directly for pricing information.

We have evaluated other solutions, and in my opinion in terms of capabilities and price, Oracle Taleo Business Edition is the best option for small- and medium-sized businesses.

It is a really competitive solution in terms of technical features and user experience. Consider engaging an implementation partner if you can afford it. There are many companies that can help with experience and expertise.

This is the Control Panel where you can access all the information and processes you manage by ROI.

Recruiting. Putting the requisitions through takes around 5 minutes at the most. If you know you have the job description ready, just plug it in.

I don't know, for my purposes it works fine. In terms of support, I have all the support I need. It's here in the cloud. It's very easy to put a req through. Very easy.

I don't have any negatives, as of now, because I don't use it too often. Usually when I post a req I have a couple of recruiters that work with me and I just push a couple of buttons on the e-mail and they send me candidates. So I have the candidates already. In the process I have to publish it for internal hiring, for maybe external hiring, and it was really, really smooth. Taleo is one of the products that really gave me very little pain. I'm not saying the same about HR Fusion. Because when Oracle claims that, "Oh, it's all on the business side," it's not. They started with one support person, expert of all experts, in my team. And now I have three. So it does require IT support. A lot.

I've been using it for two years. Taleo which is Infusion, that one two years. And we have been using Taleo here and there. Not an expert on the previous ones. Not a big expert on the current one. I'm more of a user and my team supports Taleo. But it's not a lot of problems for what we do. It's all in the cloud.#

If you find a way how to find the right person in Oracle to help you, but we don't have a lot of problems with Taleo, I will be honest with you.

We have a little piece of Taleo for recruiting only. That's what we have. It works okay. I've found good resources using Taleo. It saved me a lot of time. I just put 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 need experts and it's not easy to find them. So probably 70 resumes go to the garbage bin.
