Featured Reviews

Valda Coelho - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing HR engagement with effective development but could benefit from AI-driven improvements
The primary feature I appreciate about the solution is the information connection, allowing us to have a full employee life cycle visibility over the platforms. It also enables the creation of interactions between employees, launching communication campaigns that raise engagement. From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans. The second valuable feature is the autonomy each employee has to update their personal data. In terms of talent management, it helps design development processes, backups, and clearly view the criteria for those backups being achieved.
Prasan Edirisinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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.

"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"The solution's most valuable features are the OCR, single source of truth, and simplicity of the workflows."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."
"ATS is used to track candidates. We've used it for job requisitions, getting candidates for those requisitions, moving them through different interview stages, and then handling their onboarding process."
"The solution offers good benefits for administrators."
"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."
"The advantage I see is the presence of the industrial Taleo stack, which is beneficial for large-scale companies handling a higher load."
"The product's stability is good."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"Meta4 could improve by allowing users to manage things by themself."
"I would like to have recruitment and acquisition features added to this solution."
"The HR portal, training model, and the development career model all need improvement."
"The HR portal, training model, and development career model could all use improvement. Stability and scalability should be improved as well."
"There is room for improvements, such as including AI solutions for people management to improve job descriptions, recruitment reels, skills mapping, etc."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"Lacks some systems that we need."
"For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability."
"It only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern."
"The solution should be more intuitive and user-friendly when navigating the different pages within Oracle."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Oracle Taleo included AI-based CV screening, rather than just keyword matches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"Oracle Taleo is an expensive solution."
"Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."
