Oracle Taleo Reviews

For me, the most valuable features are the following;

• Its configuration capabilities. You can adapt the solution to give response to your organizational needs.
• It’s really user friendly, intuitive, and an easy to use solution.
• The platform lets users access critical employee information and turn operations into quick and effortless processes with its modules.
• The solution is continuously improving and adding new functionality with three to four releases each year.

With Oracle Taleo, we have automated and standardized our hiring operations. Every new employee has an on-boarding plan, and we have added value to our review and compensation processes with a solution that integrates these systems.

We have reduced time and resources required to deliver outputs. In terms of information and data access, we can run one-click reports with accurate data.

Although I know that the Oracle Development team is working on it for next releases, there are certain areas where functionality could be improved in the Learning Module (better integration with the other modules, and in terms of reporting).

Our company has been using Oracle Taleo Business Edition Cloud since 2014. We also work as implementation consultants with other customers.

We had no issues with the deployment.

We have had no issues with the stability.

We have had no issues scaling it for our needs.

The Oracle Cloud support platform is really helpful. When you create a service request, you can categorize your issue by service and problem type and you can access knowledge related to your issue.

Oracle Support has a 24-hour service to resolve issues.

Project implementations for Taleo used to go really well. Its cloud deployment makes getting the system configured and running easy and in a short period of time .

We are an Oracle Cloud solution implementation specialists and product certificated so we perform the implementation.

Pricing is available by quote only. Contact Oracle directly for pricing information.

We have evaluated other solutions, and in my opinion in terms of capabilities and price, Oracle Taleo Business Edition is the best option for small- and medium-sized businesses.

It is a really competitive solution in terms of technical features and user experience. Consider engaging an implementation partner if you can afford it. There are many companies that can help with experience and expertise.

This is the Control Panel where you can access all the information and processes you manage by ROI.

I am a technical recruiter. I used this to track candidates when working for an IT staffing company.

We had no tracking system prior, so this was a huge improvement.

Since we had no system before (we just kept everything in Outlook), even the most basic features were great.

I don't remember a lot of CRM-type functionality for our salespeople.

There are several valuable features--

• It has a high amount of configuration capabilities.
• It provides the best solution for ensuring a very good quality selection process, evaluation reviews, development plans, goals and development planning.
• It is an intuitive and easy to use solution, offering a complete suite of standard reports out of the box for the hiring process (Oracle Business Intelligence).

In my experience, the product has provided customers automation for their selection processes amongst others. A recruiter can manage many candidates at the same time and reject or approve your submissions, send correspondences, manage offers, evaluations, external services, job posting, custom branding, etc.

When editing some components such as requisitions, the solution does not respond quickly in terms of performance, maybe because of the technology in which the solution is currently built.

Another enhancement would be to implement standard “Embedded Reports” for customers in Taleo recruiting. This is a new application integrated in Taleo. Now, the administrator of the application has to create the embedded reports from scratch and the administrator need to know about Microsoft Publisher.

I have used this solution for less than two years. I work as an integrator and not as a customer.

Currently, I have not had any problems with implementations for clients. Customers are satisfied with the product and can see that their work in human resource management is easier with Taleo.

Taleo is a stable product that does not suffer outages due to problems with the application. Oracle notifies their clients when the system is not available, and this always happens in non-working hours for a short period of time.

No issues encountered.

In my opinion, the Oracle support is quite good as at any time you can report an incident, problem, or question. The issue can be catalogued depending on the severity. If the issue has a very serious impact, Oracle Support has a 24-hour service to resolve issues.

Technical support is good. The customer can classify the type of issue, to ensure the correct technician solves that problem. For example, if a customer has a question or issue with the reports, the customer will put their incident in that category. Thus, the technician associated at this incidence will be skilled in Taleo reports.

I worked with PeopleSoft HCM. An application in the cloud is flexible and can scale up and down to meet your organization’s requirements. The data in the cloud is secure. Using cloud technology reduces your maintenance fees. No more servers, software, and update fees. Many of the hidden costs typically associated with software implementation, customization, hardware, maintenance, and training are rolled into a transparent subscription fee.

The initial setup was simple thanks to detailed configuration and user manuals that Oracle offers customers and application partners.

We are a specialized partner and product certificate. We perform implementations for our customers, and help them to start using the new tool through training their trainers.

The ROI is high in terms of efficiency in the process. This figure depends on the basis of calculation and analysis of each client.

Oracle Taleo Enterprise is a good solution based on quality and cost. The customer must contact Oracle to see the conditions and prices of the product license.

We looked at another application which was good, but is different to Taleo. Based on my experience in the cloud, the cloud products are the future and the implementations are very short and simple for the customer.

It is a good tool for HR processes, selection processes, assessments, succession planning, etc. Thanks to these modules, the work of human resources will be managed globally in a single tool with the possibility of implementation in different countries and languages.

• Mobile interface
• Ease of use

I think we have faster on-boarding time. It is mobile and you can use it anywhere. It's also more cost effective because it doesn't take as many people to do it. Employees can log in from where they're at.

The recruiting section needs work.

Sometimes there is a little bit of a lag, and maybe that was more because of our network. I haven't really had an issue with it from any device I was using. It's been pretty consistent.

I haven't had to open any tickets.

I didn't because this is what my company had.

Just keep it simple. Use the instructions and the prompts that you get. Follow the instructions from your HR or talent group.

We primarily use the solution for recruitment.

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.

The interface isn't so user-friendly. It's a little bit dated.

The next release should have an option for video interviews. Also, it would be helpful to have a more flexible and integrated system for scheduling follow-up interviews and appointments. We should be able to integrate more easily with other HR systems.

The stability of the solution is good.

We haven't contacted technical support yet, as we've only been using the solution one week.

We didn't previously use another solution before implementing Taleo.

The initial setup was complex. Deployment took about three or four weeks.

We had a consultant assist with the implementation.

I would rate the solution five out of ten.

They should provide users with a better, more modern interface and enable more flexibility in managing the datasets. 

We use the cloud deployment model. My primary use case for this solution is for recruiting. 

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

The pricing could be improved.

In the next release, I would like to see new integration points to two new sourcing channels.

The stability is okay.

Scalability is okay. We have three users using this solution. It's a small scale. The users are recruiters. 

This is the first solution of this type that we've used. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We used a consultant for the deployment. 

I would recommend this solution to someone considering it. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
