Talent Acquisition Specialist at Autodesk, Inc.

Supports recruitment workflows effectively but requires better AI search and mobile capabilities

Oracle Taleo lacks AI right now when everyone is transitioning into AI. It is very limited with a single word search. A chatbot could be added to Oracle Taleo as most of the current existing tools have. Career site redirection could be more advanced with the user interface.AI-assisted search can help in the sourcing platform, which would be an added advantage compared to Oracle Taleo. The filters are good, but when trying to use a Boolean search or customize search options, it only takes a limited selection of keywords. AI could help in more advanced search capability, which might be a drawback for Oracle Taleo. Additionally, creating campaigns and bulk messaging is lacking.Regarding the mobile-friendly candidate experience, there are better options from other tools. You are limited to the approval part. Difficulties arise when wanting access to applications or dashboards connected to Oracle Taleo or viewing the transition on mobile.When it comes to stability and performance, there are prior communications about downtimes on Saturdays, but there are some issues during weekdays which are faced occasionally. The scalability aspect is not quite scalable.

Director at Edge HR

Has all-inclusive pricing and good talent acquisition and onboarding components, and is an excellent product for mid-sized to large organizations

They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well.

Assistant Manager at Kashiv Biosciences

HR has gained clear analytics for attrition, goals, and appraisals and manages talent efficiently

SAP SuccessFactors has a low error rate. We had many ad hoc reports that we needed to generate, and it was very easy to do so in SAP SuccessFactors. We also created many in-house reports according to our specific requirements with the help of this tool, which was a really big game changer for us. We did not depend on advanced Excel in those cases. We generated a lot of detailed reports whenever we needed them during emergency cases or board meetings. A lot of usefulness and time were saved in those cases. I will also mention that we conducted a comparative study for some recruitment cases. We had a recruitment model where we were looking for a very niche profile. Since the job profile was really different and rare, we had to depend on analytics to understand and shortlist from a large pool of candidates that we already had in our database. Analytics was really helpful in this situation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 has allowed us to be able to source candidates, have them apply for the job, or put in applications online, and all of our onboarding is done via the web as well, which makes everything easy, stable, and reliable."

"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."

"The workflow is good in Oracle Taleo, and the user interface has standard clear instructions and providers."

"Oracle Taleo Enterprise is a good solution based on quality and cost."

"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."

"Oracle support is quite good."

"The product remains stable, and Oracle is investing further to improve and enhance it."

More Oracle Taleo pros

"It is a reliable, simple to use, end-to-end system for employee lifecycle management."

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations; as part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup, so there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with."

"It has a user-friendly interface in managing job requisitions for the end user."

"It provides a centralised repository of information for various HR functions."

"PageUp has allowed us to integrate all HR systems and manage all processes associated with the employee lifecycle from recruitment through to managing performance, learning and development; also where applicable, departures from the organisation processes."

"The talent acquisition and the onboarding components of the system are most valuable."

"I have recommended PageUp to a lot of my networks due to the fact that it is one of the best systems on the market in terms of functionality, support, and reporting capability."

"If you are looking for a product with great support, recruitment functionality, ease-of-use, and reliability, this is a great product."

More PageUp People pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are GUI and OData API."

"The most valuable feature of SAP SuccessFactors is that it is a full suite of applications to enable your employees."

"The interface is really useful and it's very easy to combine different information. For example, we can easily get reports that we need. It's very easy to create reports."

"Employee Central is the core of the product and is the best developed."

"Allow me to highlight that we went live for eight countries in scope for the Payroll HCM, and also went live for more than 12 countries in terms of SuccessFactors employee data."

"A suite of SuccessFactors Talent Management tools helps us in managing the entire employee journey."

"SuccessFactors' best features are talent management and HR Analytics."

"We like that all the employee events, everything, can be managed on one single system and it is very user-friendly and very agile."

More SAP SuccessFactors pros

Cons

"Lacks some systems that we need."

"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic."

"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)."

"It only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern."

"The pricing could be improved."

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

"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."

"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."

More Oracle Taleo cons

"In the Boolean search functions, I would like to be able to search CVs in regards to the skills using the AND/OR functions as well as keywords."

"Reporting could be improved. Some changes were made to functionality a year or two ago, and whilst there have certainly been some improvements in some areas (in terms of the dashboard view, for example), we have experienced some difficulty in trying to automate some fairly standard reports to be sent out to our hiring areas regarding current recruitment in their respective areas."

"The automated removal of historical data would be great if the user could remove it on an ad-hoc basis when required."

"The on-boarding process, with specific relation to the provisioning process, isn’t set up as well as other competitors, such as RedCarpet (SilkRoad)."

"Initially, we experienced issues with the stability of the learning management module as we migrated 50,000+ existing training records from our old system."

"In our experience, PageUp has not been as flexible as we would like or expect as a vendor."

"They could probably add surveying, as in engagement surveys, to their product. That would be something that would be valued by their customers. For instance, Culture Amp is a product that does a lot of the engagement stuff. They're diversifying into other aspects of talent management. It is not yet at the same scale as PageUp People, but it is an excellent product as well."

"The ability to pull reports was limited for us."

More PageUp People cons

"SAP SuccessFactors could improve the integration. It is not simple to integrate and it needs to be made easier."

"The process for long modules needs to be improved, because compared to how it's done with a competitor (Meta4), the competitor's process was simpler."

"SuccessFactors' experience management is not so user-friendly."

"The reporting and cloud integration could be done better in this solution."

"Be prepared for price surprises. It’s quite expensive."

"It is not that user-friendly. It can be made more user-friendly."

"Analytics could use some work."

"Another thing that can be improved with SuccessFactors is that, although the reporting tool is not bad, there are often separate reports for different areas of the software."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"PageUp has a different model from other organizations. As part of their pricing structure, they tend to work with you very closely and not charge you for the setup. So, there is one price all inclusive of setup, and for that reason, they become an attractive provider to work with. Here in Australia, the education sector has gravitated very heavily towards PageUp."

"It is not expensive because it is a complete suite with a module-based cost."

"The solution is on the expensive side but is definitely worth the money."

"The pricing for SuccessFactors is ridiculously high, and there are costs in addition to the license fee for some features."

"The cost of SAP SuccessFactors is reasonable."

"I don't want to comment on the license cost, to be honest. It could be about $1,000 approximately per customer. However, it's very flexible in terms of the licensing costs depending on the volume and depending on the deal of installation."

"I think the pricing is a little better than most solutions out there. There are reasonable prices when it comes to some of the modules such as the Payroll module, and for the remaining modules I believe the pricing is fair in comparison to the rest of the market."

"Our costs for the solution are subsidized by our parent company, I am not aware of the exact cost because of this. However, we pay $50,000 annually. If we move to another solution it will be more expensive."

"I have raised change requests for some modules within SuccessFactors. For example, when you're using Recruiting Management, there's a feature called Interview Central you can use to reach the candidates you're interviewing. I wanted to add a writing assessment when I select the competency on that platform. It varies from consultant to consultant, depending on what module they use."
