Featured Reviews

Prasan Edirisinghe - PeerSpot reviewer
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 The other limitation is that it feels outdated, and I cannot compare certain things or implement some automations that require a lot of manual intervention when initiating, generating, and calculating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.
Henrik Aminoff - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool to manage HR master data in a single system that needs to improve on the API front
As a developer, I can say that some of Sympa HR's back-end functionalities, like the API systems, aren't fully fledged or modern enough, a downside of which Sympa is aware. My previous company had some kind of relationship with Sympa, and I used to attend meetings with Sympa's development teams regarding Sympa HR's API integrations in and out.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Good integration capabilities and extensibility."
"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."
"The product's stability 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."
"The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good."
"The solution's most valuable features are the OCR, single source of truth, and simplicity of the workflows."
"Oracle Taleo's integration capabilities are good."
"Sympa HR was helpful since it helped me manage HR master data in a single system."
"One of my favorite features of Sympa HR is its customization options. You can tailor it to meet your specific needs, which is really beneficial for HR processes."
 

Cons

"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 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. The screening data is a long process in Taleo."
"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."
"Lacks some systems that we need."
"For larger enterprises, Oracle Taleo may not stand out due to other available tools in the market that offer more features and scalability."
"It would be beneficial if Oracle Taleo included AI-based CV screening, rather than just keyword matches."
"It only supports soft calls with a daily limit, which is a concern."
"As a developer, I can say that some of Sympa HR's back-end functionalities, like the API systems, aren't fully fledged or modern enough, a downside of which Sympa is aware."
"Sympa HR has some fundamental issues like allowing multiple leave applications for the same dates. That needs improvement."
 

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."
