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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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.
Vibha  Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Provide performance management and HR operations but lacks AI capabilities
Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and…

Cons

"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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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."
"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."
"The solution should be more intuitive and user-friendly when navigating the different pages within Oracle."
"It only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern."
"It would be beneficial if Oracle Taleo included AI-based CV screening, rather than just keyword matches."
"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."
"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."
"For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
