Oracle Taleo Reviews

In my prior job, I used Taleo for recruiting purposes only. Now, in my current job, we are doing the onboarding transition aspects. We weren't doing that at my prior job. 

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

The solution is stable and reliable. 

There are functional issues based on the system that we're currently using. This has nothing to do with Taleo.

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. It's just modifications that we have to do on a functional basis.

Under my current company, I have had experience with the solution for three and a half years.

The solution is stable and the performance is good. It does not crash or freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's reliable. 

I can't speak to scalability. it's not in my area of expertise. 

If we have any issues, we typically turn to our IT department. I've never directly dealt with Taleo, and therefore cannot speak to how their services are. 

I've used other sources, however, I've never used an onboarding tool. I know there are many of them out there, for example, Paycom. There's Paychex as well. However, we're mainly using this product for recruiting purposes.

As far as the setup goes, I'm not sure how everything works. We've done some upgrades and stuff, and we've gone through regression testing. However, I don't directly handle any of the setup processes. 

We have about four people involved in any update that we do. We have a couple of regression testers and the technical source to make sure the upgrade gets processed, the test groups are done, and all that good stuff.

I wasn't involved in the pricing at all. I have no idea if it is priced high or low.

We are customers and end-users.

I would advise new users to just make sure that they understand their functional roles and make sure it mirrors what they need from Taleo and Oracle.

I'd rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

Our company typically uses Taleo at its human resource core. I use their PeopleSoft and use functions from other tools as well - such as Workday. Generally, I really rely on PeopleSoft.

The solution offers good benefits for administrators.

The solution allows for various options using the cloud. It can store data easier and you can access it at any time. 

It's hard to share access with other people right now. If you try it will not work. They should do something that improves the ability to share everything.  

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.

I've been using the solution for three years.

The solution is pretty stable. Any bugs are generally dealt with quickly. It's a pretty reliable solution.

We haven't had issues with the scalability. We're on the enterprise edition and it seems to meet our needs.

I've been in touch with technical support in the past. They've been good. We haven't had any issues with the level of help we receive. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide.

I also use Workday and find it to be a much better product. I'd choose it over Taleo if I had to.

I don't have any insights into the initial setup. I'm unsure as to if it was straightforward or complex.

The pricing is reasonable. We have the enterprise edition for our company, and it's fairly priced.

We're just customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

I actually prefer a different product, Workday. I would recommend that instead of Taleo.

That said, on a scale from one to ten, I'd still rate Taleo at a nine.
