Oracle Taleo Cloud

Avantages

Taleo Business Edition is an easy-to-use application that serves basic ATS functionality that most small to medium sized company could benefit from.

Inconvénients

Ad-hoc reporting can be frustrating due to the way the data is presented in the reports. Table joins are clunky and can cause duplicate data to be presented in the reports.

Avantages

It's easy to use, great applicant tracking system and has most functions needed for recruiting.

Inconvénients

Sometimes when you are inputting a requisition and you submit it, the requisition disappears and does not save in your drafts so you have to start over again. Also, when multiple tabs are open of Taleo and you are reviewing candidate's under one requisition, it will automatically take you to another requisition and their candidates which can cause for some confusion.

Avantages

1. It has a lot of features to support recruitment
2. easy to use and user-friendly
3. highly secure

Inconvénients

Tot as innovative in terms of new features and updates compared to some of the newer competitors in the market

Avantages

Oracle Taleo has the mechanisms of managing all the candidates and offering the right details before the employment.

Inconvénients

Oracle Taleo has all the features that makes every tracking for candidates effective.

Avantages

I can only speak for the features as a Hiring Manager. I am responsible to creating the requisition to HR/TA. From my perspective, I find it very easy to use but the most important feature I recognize is the ability to add questions to each requisition and automatically discard applicants based on the answers. That reduces the amount of resumes I have to see to just 10% and most likely we can quickly find good candidate.

Inconvénients

The interface is probably not the most beautiful one, it is like any other ERP we very basic usability and plain design.

Avantages

The best aspect of OTC is the ability to allow for our various job boards to scrape our active roles from taleo to post to their sites

Inconvénients

OTC is not a user friendly platform, for both my recruiting team and candidates.

Alternatives envisagées

Fairly easy to use with some tutorials. Customer interaction is seamless.

Inconvénients

Some of the overview of HR is not seen on the user interface side and it is sometimes difficult to find errors.

Avantages

It offers an integrated HRIS and full range of talent management modules to support the full employee life cycle.

Inconvénients

The learning curve for administrators and users is rather steep and the user interface is rather dated.

Avantages

It was hard for me to tell which feature I liked

speed of data pulling and loading, lack if intuitiveness, filtering

I like that all candidate data and metrics are housed in one place.

The tool is not very intuitive and is very hard to navigate and source and search profiles.

No thing needs to improve its really easy and simple

Powerfull tool for talent management best suited for big companies with great IT specialist and good budget

Inconvénients

OTC can be complexed to set up and configure, subscription cost and fees are to high

Avantages

Enjoyed that Taleo allowed for e mails and print letters to candidates. Also, that it has the capability to link with Lawson HRIS, background services and other necessary programs.

Inconvénients

There were some actions that once you completed the action there was no way to stop it or recall it or change it. I literally had to redo the entire process to change an offer if I sent it out incorrectly. It was missing an edit function.

Avantages

I enjoy the wealth of features and customizability. The paragraph customization is intuitive. Oracle customer support is responsive and knowledgeable.

Inconvénients

A lack of training options for Connect Client have limited my ability to use it to its full potential. Some configuration menus are dense.

Avantages

fairly configurable, good candidate management options for users. ability to screen and prioritize candidates is helpful.

Inconvénients

too few fields for candidates to filter; no option for candidates to 'search', only to choose from drop-down menu,

Avantages

Easy to operate and create log in account supported by admin teams.Easy to find out the processes, identify errors and reply from the relevant department.All notifications are easily accessible and trackable via email support.

Inconvénients

Sometime comment or question raised by the line managers in the process are unable to see these are not highlighted properly and no pop up message receives.

Avantages

The overall product features, and internal candidate search features including excel download.

Inconvénients

The speed and user interface, it was very difficult to work on Taleo to perform simplest work like job posting or screen candidates because of slow speed.

Avantages

easier to use than the previous system. Less system interruptions, less system down time, faster.

Inconvénients

I do not have any issues with this software.

Avantages

I liked the fact that you can use it to manage employees performance and understand how they are doing day to day with the evaluation tools available

Inconvénients

I did not like the different pages and the transition from one page to another

Avantages

Easy to learn, user-friendly, great functionality and tools, excellent customer service & customer training.

Inconvénients

Professional Services work- There is an opportunity to do customization to the product but would suggest waiting to see if needed. Customizations are usually where you will have issues when something breaks. The core product is always working but automations is where you may see failures.

Avantages

the best of oracle, is its massive capacity to contain and create such large databases, reliable and secure

Inconvénients

I should have more tools, more accessories

Avantages

I like the TCC use. Integrating between systems seems to be straightforward and user friendly most of the time.

Inconvénients

Paying by headcount rather than by user. We have employees who are not users, no access to system, but we pay for them per the contract.

Avantages

1. Oracle attached to the name therefore people will not need to worry about quality.
2. Suitable for large businesses.

Inconvénients

When you think of Oracle, you can only think of greatness. Unfortunately Taleo does not live up to the mark. The following are the flaws that I have found as a user.
1. Very slow.
2. Too many filters that makes it very confusing for a new user.
3. Not very user friendly as one needs to spend much time in first understanding the product and then use it.
4. Search results are not always accurate.
5. Not as good as its price demands.

Avantages

It is better than recruiting from an email inbox and provides some organization to candidates. You can easily find and store candidates all in one place.

Inconvénients

This is an incredibility outdated applicant tracking system. There are much more modern ATS systems available. Posting a job is timely and I spend way more time than I should re-formatting and editing a job requisition. It is also not very customizable. I don't like the interface at all.

Avantages

It links through to Oracle so it can bring candidate through to employee seamlessly

Inconvénients

Limited functionality to search and shortlist candidates
