Senior Manager II., Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Mid-Tier ATS for Small Companies" April 14, 2025 3.0 Overall I feel like Taleo leaves a lot to be desired and has caused us to purchase and implement a new ATS for our team. Pros What I like most about Oracle Taleo is the applicant tracking. The workflow allows for an efficient way to progress candidates through the recruiting funnel. Additionally, the line-of-sight for all parties involved in the hiring process is great. Cons The area where I'd like to see strides and improvement is the reporting within Taleo. It is unreliable and a chore to capture causing us to have to purchase a plug-in to produce insightful and accurate reporting.

Information is shared with recruitment team easily. Cons When reviewing candidates, you do not have many options to include where the candidate is in the recruitment process. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Financial Assistant Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Honest Oracle Review!!!" September 11, 2025 5.0 Good! I like it as someone who has technology experience and grew up using technology but I think it can be challenging for people other than me Pros It is super easy to communicate with our clients and we use this system to communicate about billing issues and more! Cons It can be complex when doing the onboarding experience so it's important to reach out to a rep with any questions! Review Source Zach H. Senior Systems Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TBE is reliable but clunky" September 5, 2024 4.0 I administer TBE for my organization, and while Taleo has some clunky-ness, it is consistently available (no down-time experienced during business hours) and can perform most basic ATS tasks required. Pros Taleo Business Edition is an easy-to-use application that serves basic ATS functionality that most small to medium sized company could benefit from. Cons 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. Review Source SC Sebastian C. Technology Sales Associate Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good, simple platform for applying to jobs" February 1, 2026 4.0 Pretty good overall. 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 FS Francesca S.

Sales And Marketing Specialist Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Capture your employees and improve performance with taleo" September 16, 2019 3.0 With that tool we can track the complete data of the employees, the staff and all the information, input and output, tasks and reports, in addition to having a separate use for the human resources department, and in this way perform the complete control of the service With new income with a fresh and complete database, I use it mainly to take control of tasks and employees in my charge in the marketing and finance department, and I collaborate with the control in the human resources department, and simply It is a wonder, it is flexible easy to apply and extremely comfortable, department heads can eliminate all the paperwork of their employees in one day and have a more orderly database and easily locate all records, thanks to this system we can keep more order within the department at any time, no doubt Oracle always takes the lead in all its services worldwide, regardless of the co This is well worth implementing at any time. Pros There are many positive aspects within this system from the versatility that it has in several departments, although its strength is the human resources system where it includes tools that allow you to even register and maintain control of each employee of the company without losing control or losing data, and in this way have more control over the information of the postulate profile, experience, skills, performance, training, and career of human talent, facilitating the evaluation of each person individually, until maintaining actions to keep up to date with each task and reports of the other departments and keep up to date each activity carried out by your subordinates effectively and completely, by having the complete data of the employees entered in case you only perform a search system to keep current employees online and graduates and know their current performance, so evaluate better if your work meets the req standards ueridos or should be helped to improve. Cons The point against which you will notice more within the platform is that it is very difficult to handle, and to learn its use, most of the Oracle systems come with an encrypted system or a language that is not intuitive for users, so this generates a great disadvantage in the product, it is complicated to understand and the reports at the beginning must be configured if you want a quick print, it does not have a previous sample so you may spend a lot on storage space while testing to achieve the ideal alignment, the platform does not It is dynamic, it is not intuitive, you will need a long working time to be able to work and adapt to its management, the implementation can be long and tedious, however I think it is well worth going through all this since the advantages are much greater , and is an excellent internal operations system for your company.

Recruiter Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Oracle Taleo Ease of Use" January 5, 2024 5.0 Great overall experience with Taleo once you learn how to use the system. I would recommend to others. Pros It's easy to use, great applicant tracking system and has most functions needed for recruiting. Cons 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. Switched from [SmartSearch](https://www.capterra.com/p/78549/SmartSearch/) Company made the switch, I am not sure as to why.

The platform has helped me in facilitating the process of finding good candidates very quickly, reducing enormously the amount of time needed to find a person. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which makes the whole process even more efficient. Overall, I am very satisfied with Taleo and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective recruitment solution. Pros 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. Cons The interface is probably not the most beautiful one, it is like any other ERP we very basic usability and plain design. Review Source Dennis C. Recruitment Specialist Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recruiting? It's Taleo!" August 9, 2018 5.0 It is very great in organizing the recruitment efforts of every company. If you want to have a great applicant tracking system, I suggest use Taleo! Pros Taleo is our applicant tracking system. As a database, it helps us keep track of all job openings, applicants, JDs, and the dates they all happened. Taleo helped us to have good organization in our recruitment efforts. It is very powerful that we can see if an applicant applied to us previously, what position they applied for, and what was the outcome of their application. Cons I think the social sharing portion is a bit unupgraded. There is also no preview of how the sharing will look like so we still manually share it on social media sites, and this is taking some of our precious time. I hope Taleo incorporate social media sites such as FaceBook, and Instagram, and if they do it, I hope they have a great template and photos as well. Review Source AZ Alessandro Z.

Pros Oracle Taleo has the mechanisms of managing all the candidates and offering the right details before the employment. Cons Oracle Taleo has all the features that makes every tracking for candidates effective. Review Source KP Kimberly P. Recruiter Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A lot could be improved" April 29, 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.

Operations Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Taleo Keeps Hiring On Track" October 6, 2022 5.0 Pros This software allows for all steps of hiring to occur in one, organized place. From approval of posting, to candidate review, Taleo offers options to ensure an efficient hiring process. Tracking is available to move applicants to different 'steps' based on review and interest in pursuing further. Interview evaluations and correspondence with HR representatives is housed in one place. Cons The software certainly helps streamline the recruitment and hiring process. However, one feature that is a bit difficult is that applicant attachments download each time you click to view in the software. An update to allow an option to download or view in browser would elevate this software closer to perfection.

It helps me to keep track of everything in the same place. the ability to accelerate our incorporation process and create a positive first impression. Employees can eliminate their new employee paperwork before the first day, speeding up production time. Pros It is very functional, excellent price, easy to use, easy to learn, it is great to work with it. Makes sense. Logical. It has a good board and design. Easy to see. Cons It is very difficult to navigate in it. It lacks a dedicated representative for technical problems. Slow responses It is very strong but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming. It has many different features that need tutorials or training. Review Source SK Sandy K. Director Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Consider if you need an all-in-one system" December 2, 2023 4.0 There are only a handful of full employee life cycle HRISs out there, so if that is of paramount importance, then Taleo is a decent option. However, if it is not, then I would recommend considering a bespoke recruitment system/ATS instead. Pros It offers an integrated HRIS and full range of talent management modules to support the full employee life cycle. Cons The learning curve for administrators and users is rather steep and the user interface is rather dated. Review Source JT Jilyne T. Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SO Many Better Options" April 3, 2019 3.0 Pros I have used both Taleo Enterprise and Business Edition. Enterprise used to be the gold standard for a global organization in my opinion, and was first to market with functionality. The ability to add candidates to folders and pipeline in the system, and get reporting was ahead of it's time. Unfortunately following the Oracle acquisition of the product it has had few updates and is now like a 15 year old used car - it will get you were you want to go, but not in the most seamless, comfortable way possible compared to the Ferrari's on the market today. Their customer support used to have me waiting SIXTY minutes to speak with someone. It was terrible, and we ended up switching our ATS because of it. Cons The system is now full of dead ends, because their technical team seems to have placed band-aids on system problems rather than taken more time to find permanent fixes. They charge for everything if you want to make configuration changes, and won't let you do it yourself so you have to pay them.

Pros Es muy sencillo a la hora de crear requisiciones, revisar los CV de los candidatos y manejar toda la informacion de los mismos. Me ha gustado mucho tambien que los candidatos que no han sido considerados, se les pueda manterner su perfil para futuras posiciones. Cons Muchas opciones dentro del programa. Pero al tiempo uno se acostumbra y aprende a utilizar todas sus funciones. Review Source Milfred S. Consultor Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Oracle Taleo Cloud Service one of the Best" November 5, 2018 5.0 Excellent we recommend it. Pros Oracle Taleo Enterprise Cloud Service is a software that allows us as an organization, specifically to the Human Resources department to systematically evaluate and compare the individual experience, skills and competencies of internal and external candidates to apply for the positions that are available. It is very useful because it allows us to encompass the entire Human Resources process from the recruitment, selection, hiring and compensation of personnel; as well as maintaining control over information on the profile, skills, training, experience, performance and career of human talent, facilitating the evaluation as to which person with the best profile should be considered for each particular position and who may have the best performance. Cons Taleo is a system that manages talents, but lacks payroll control, occupational risk prevention, attendance control. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Buy what you need" January 28, 2019 4.0 What I did learn is that it is totally up to your company to buy all the bells and whistles and functions that will help your team win at recruiting. If you get the right package, you have a pretty awesome program. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source TG Thomas G. Talent Acquisition Team Leader Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Taleo ATS" November 16, 2021 4.0 Pros Taleo is an easy-to-use ATS that allows the recruiter to effectively track candidates that have applied for a role or were previously considered for a separate recruitment process. The recruiter dashboard allows the recruiter to have a high level overview of all vacancies as well all candidate applications in process. Requisition notes are easy to update and the user is able to pull a report & export into excel. Cons The general look of the Taleo dashboard can seem quite 'busy,' and 'clunky.' Other ATSs on the market seem to be more slick. Review Source AL Abdul L. IT Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Product" August 26, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy to use, and well structured and Oracle support team is helpful Cons Seems all perfect yet to discover more on this product Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Software non semplicissimo" April 11, 2024 3.0 È un software interessante, ma secondo me da migliorare. Non è di semplice e immediato utilizzzo Pros Utilizzo Taleo per le ricerche di opportunità cambio di lavoro all’interno del mio Gruppo. È interessante la possibilità di ricerca data dai filtri Cons L’interfaccia non è di semplice utilizzo.

January 9, 2018 5.0 Pros I enjoy the wealth of features and customizability. The paragraph customization is intuitive. Oracle customer support is responsive and knowledgeable. Cons A lack of training options for Connect Client have limited my ability to use it to its full potential. Some configuration menus are dense. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer People Project Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fairly good ux" September 26, 2018 4.0 Pros From a candidate perspective it's easy to apply and track progress of an application. Taleo is huge so it's likely they will have engaged with the product before anyway. So despite the branding being different, the look and feel will be familiar to them. Recruiters in the back end can also move people through workflows fairly easily and their experience can be tailored to something they are comfortable with. Cons Takes a long time to set up, the customer success team are excellent in helping you do this but it does require a strong knowledge of systems and tech to implement and run.
