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.

Learning Solution Architect at a recruiting/HR firm with self employed

A flexible solution with superb automation capabilities

The technical support is high-end. They're knowledgeable people, both in the US and in the Philippines. One point of improvement — they should talk more to each other. They're quite responsive, but it depends on the scope of the ticket. If it's just solving an issue from one product, you can have either a consultant from the US or from the Philippines. It gets difficult when a solution is about integration. For instance, authentication mechanisms. Authentication mechanisms come from the US and they have to be incorporated in the Asia version. Then it's difficult because support has to talk to each other.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The advantage I see is the presence of the industrial Taleo stack, which is beneficial for large-scale companies handling a higher load."

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

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

"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 solution's most valuable features are the OCR, single source of truth, and simplicity of the workflows."

"Oh yes, when we began to utilize e-signatures it saved us a lot of money because prior to that we were manually documenting completion, we have 12,000 employees so it was a lot easier to put a notice up and have an electronic signature in which everyone signs off and then report on it."

"The solution offers good benefits for administrators."

"Oracle support is quite good."

More Oracle Taleo pros

"This solution is extremely flexible and the automation capabilities are great."

"I find the PeopleFluent implementation support to be extremely flexible and generous towards their customers."

"Overall, it’s easy to learn and use."

Cons

"The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."

"Taleo doesn't really provide us with the systems that we need."

"The recruiting section needs work."

"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."

"Also, the users didn’t like Learn. It was not as user friendly and simple (step-wise) as our legacy system. We didn’t anticipate how much they would hate Learn."

"Customer support. It is very cold, you put a ticket in and you might get a response back an hour or two later."

"The pricing could be improved."

"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."

More Oracle Taleo cons

"The integration capabilities could be improved. Integration of the recently acquired Learning Management System into the PeopleFluent suite, since it's clear that it's just recently acquired and it's not fully integrated."

"Give us the ability to source within the tool. It may just be how it’s configured for our organization, but we do not have the ability to source resumes in PeopleFluent."

"The integration capabilities could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."

"Oracle Taleo is an expensive solution."

"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
