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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the solution is good."
"It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."
"The product remains stable, and Oracle is investing further to improve and enhance it."
"The advantage I see is the presence of the industrial Taleo stack, which is beneficial for large-scale companies handling a higher load."
"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."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"It is priced low."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Oracle Taleo included AI-based CV screening, rather than just keyword matches."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT."
"The product was not very sophisticated in terms of what it could do."
"Lacks some systems that we need."
"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."
"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."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"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 global scalability and support could improve."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
 

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."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
