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 are customers of Oracle and I'm an associate architect, technology.

We use Taleo mainly for recruitment. The solution has good integration capabilities and extensibility, and there's the standard integration between Fusion and Taleo as well as the validations that can be done on top of Taleo.

Taleo doesn't really provide us with the systems that we need. There are a few areas that they don't cover. 

I've been using this solution for four years. 

The solution is stable. 

Our main difficulties came as a result of scalability issues. We're not able to do much page personalization and when it comes to adding validations, we're unable to do that.

Oracle support is fairly good, we get decent responses to all of our queries.

Positive

The initial setup is a little complex and took us longer than expected, close to three weeks. 

Licensing fees are paid annually. 

If the customer has already implemented Fusion, I'd recommend going for ORC as a stand-alone product.

I rate this solution six out of 10. 

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.
