A scalable solution with good functionalities, but customer support needs to improve

Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all. MHR iTrent concentrates too much on sales, like a selling mechanism. They don't concentrate on helping their existing clients get the most out of the solution. All they're interested in is selling you something else to add on.

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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The retrospection feature within iTrent is really good and better than what some other software provides. It's really useful."

"MHR iTrent's functionality and the payroll part are good."

"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 stability of the solution is good."

"Performance and goal management are good to have, based on certain client requirements where the user base isn't too large, but the most workable domain of Taleo is the recruiting module."

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

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The solution offers good benefits for administrators."

"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."

"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."

Cons

"Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all."

"MHR's customer service needs to improve. It's dreadful at the moment. They're not very customer-focused."

"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."

"Oracle Taleo felt a bit outdated, and we didn't use it for every step of the candidate process.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."

"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 pricing could be improved."

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

"The solution should be more intuitive and user-friendly when navigating the different pages within Oracle."

"Lacks some systems that we need."
