Simple to use and performed its function well when applying to jobs. Post-application, with interviews and processing was easy as well. Pros Easy to use for applying to jobs. Candidate interview and recruitment process worked well and did not have issues so customer support wasn't needed. Not sure about value for money or security as I was only a user. Cons Performance and speed was a little bit slow and the overall UI and functionality felt outdated and led to slow loading. Review Source ecommerce analyst Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Excellent HR Tool" October 30, 2019 5.0 Great integrations, feature-packed, and makes us more efficient. Highly recommended. Pros We can keep tabs on applicants. Monitor their progression from initial evaluation, hiring, and building skills. Encompasses just about all of the human resources processes. The price is great for the features you get. We love having the employee paperwork all filled in before a new hire even steps foot into the office for their first day. Nobody likes paperwork. This software definitely improves our onboarding process, making us much more efficient. The integrations also allow our department to save time managing employees. Having things like our background check service integrated is great. Cons Needs an integration with payroll. Not the easiest software to deal with (it's Oracle...). You'll have that with software that is powerful, though. Still, could use some improvements for ease of use. Navigation could be improved. Review Source accounting manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Big Companies need Giant software" January 11, 2023 4.0 Pros Oracle Taleo help you to mentor your team and make your day more easy as keep all report for each one in and out ,and in that way give you the control system on who under your charge, the software help head of department to eliminate paper work to be in one day only as help you in evaluation every person individually Cons I think the platform is so hard to handle and to know how it's use, and report must be configured at beginning. the implementation maybe be long and hard in beginning , however i think it is worth. Review Source Kimberly P. Recruiter Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A lot could be improved" May 1, 2023 3.0 Oracle is helpful and serves its purpose but I wish it could have been easier to use and loads faster. Pros I like that Oracle can be used within different departments such as Recruitment, Logistics, Accounting, etc., and data will be stored into one system. Cons With all its features, I wish it could have been more faster to load for its users. I also wished that it is more user friendly when I was using it. I remember how kind of hard it was for me to view my candidate's full profile without having to do a lot of clicks. Additionally, it was quite hard to navigate for a first time user. Review Source Sales and Marketing Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent For Applications and Resumes" June 17, 2019 5.0 Even though the initial set up is long, subsequent applications are easy and breezy since all your information is already in there. When I was looking for a job, there were a ton of companies that used this for their application process- a lot of quality companies and positions too! Pros I loved, loved, loved that it stored my resume and job application information and was easy to submit to multiple positions within individual companies. Cons The first time you apply to a job listing, it takes SOOOO LONG to enter all the information. Also, each business requires you to re-enter or upload your information, but once it IS in there, you can easily apply to multiple job listings! Review Source Obumneme O. Engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Accuracy is awesome" March 7, 2018 5.0 Pros I loved the correctness of its reporting and how easy it is to communicate with the HR through resume submissions. I love the feature of having to accept applicants via the software. Cons not user-friendly when you want to create reports. Overall it's a good platform, the reporting platform can be overwhelming at times. Review Source Jennifer P.

Cons The tool is not very intuitive and is very hard to navigate and source and search profiles. Review Source Lead Specialist Talent Acquisition Marketing Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Outdated system with poor functionalities" November 29, 2023 2.0 The system really feels outdated in 2023 and one can feel it while navigating, loading and pulling data.

It is also extremely customizable. Cons The user experience leaves something to be desired, it feels outdated. Taleo is not particularly intuitive, and needs stronger integration with other HR systems Review Source Jeremy S. Manager of Analytics, Customer Operations Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Lots to be desired from end user of performance review" December 18, 2017 2.0 Pros I do like that I can see all the reviews from the cycle online.

June 19, 2018 5.0 Pros It's really easy to go through applicants and see their resume with attached portfolio links. You are able to label them whether or not you are moving forward with their application. Cons The UI is slightly clunky and could use an update as some of the text is a bit harder to read with smaller text and tight spaces in between buttons. Review Source Vickie V.

It has a lot of features to support recruitment 2. easy to use and user-friendly 3. highly secure Cons Tot as innovative in terms of new features and updates compared to some of the newer competitors in the market Review Source Workforce Planning Bureau Chief Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Slow, Flash based" October 12, 2017 2.0 Pros Reporting metrics are helpful but could be more conclusive and could be more filters available. Application information is not easily printable for those that refuse to use a computer to view. Cons Interface is dreadfully slow, it is built in flash which is outdated and unable to access from apple ipads, iphones which is difficult to manage at career events and providing instant feedback to potential applicants. Review Source Owner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Easy to use but too pricey to be the best " May 10, 2018 4.0 Better value elsewhere if you don't need Oracle Software for recruiting Pros It is an Oracle product so it implements and snycs with existing software well. Being experienced with other Oracle Software I felt the look of the landing page was positive and it was easy to get around the site!

July 27, 2017 3.0 As a corporation, we were looking for a recruitment software and candidate management system that could safely store all our business data. Taleo certainly delivers on this front! It's an easy-to-use/user-friendly software with great customer service to back it up. I do recommend this product for businesses with 10-10,000+ employees who are looking for a cost-effective way to manage their recruitment process. Pros Easy to learn, user-friendly, great functionality and tools, excellent customer service & customer training. Cons 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. Review Source operador Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "oracle excellent program for the support of their databases " April 23, 2018 5.0 good software Pros the best of oracle, is its massive capacity to contain and create such large databases, reliable and secure Cons I should have more tools, more accessories Review Source Sr Mgr, Global HR Technology Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Taleo is a great talent acquisiton software. It isn't as flexible as some of the newer technology." October 13, 2017 4.0 I don't know yet Pros I like the TCC use. Integrating between systems seems to be straightforward and user friendly most of the time. Cons 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. Review Source Senior Director-IT Used the software for: 3-5 years ### " Cadillac of software " August 30, 2018 5.0 A great product overall… Might be more than you need for a small organization Pros Looks great- intuitive interface, lots of bells and whistles Cons Implementation can be confusing if you don’t have professional services Review Source Twila U. HR Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Taleo - old school HRIS" April 9, 2018 4.0 Unfortunately, Taleo did not work for our environment as our configuration was not suitable for our recruiting environment. It definitely can handle process and checks/balances in the recruiting workflow but wasn't very dynamic is storing/sorting/cultivating candidates. Pros Taleo is definitely geared to large enterprises with data storage needs. The integration with financial software is well established. Cons The architecture is very restrictive. The recruiting software isn't very configurable without patches that may nor may not work. Such a large system does not make changes/updates very often or quickly.
