Senior Graphic Designer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quick & easy way to review talent!" June 15, 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 KB Kelly B. Recruiter Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works, but can be a struggle to get what you need! " July 21, 2016 2.0 Pros I like that it does give you a place to house your candidates. Cons This product has too many features and options to customize, too many reports need to be built only if you know how to code. The scheduling feature is very hard to work with and the bugs that happen are a bit scary. Review Source Italo P. Supervisor Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Robust tool, for the management of Human Resources, recommended for large and medium companies" June 8, 2018 4.0 It is a robust, reliable tool for managing information, with a good variety of reports. Pros I like the application, its reports that are very friendly. The handling of candidate information and support is very good Cons I like the tool, however it is not very customizable and its interface is a little outdated. I think the application is very good Review Source Krish M. Ambassador Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very outdated but still very decent in functionality" April 28, 2019 3.0 Robust but needs improvement Pros Nice workflow and integrates well with other career pages Keeps the recruiter and hiring manager in the loop during the process Cons Very poor UX and design Feels very traditional and lacks modern features Very clanky UI and was expecting some automation Review Source Lakhdar S. Youtuber Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My expreience" April 16, 2018 3.0 Pros It's very easy to use that you don't need some kind of a toturial or help to use it, so simple and perfect for normal users. Cons To make it almost perfect software, I wish if the prices were be a little bit cheaper, but after all it deserves these prices. Review Source rM roger M. Consultant Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Taleo Not Serving Customer, Not Serving Ultimate Clients" September 1, 2017 1.0 Lighten-up Taleo, you're not that important. Allow applications to be submitted w/o registration and so many questions. Pros The service is technical, too technical. Long-time in the market place. Terrible reputation with most candidates and growing with their customers. Cons A L-T friend, bank exec, noted that Taleo gets much negative feedback from their recruits for mid-high level positions. Too much info, time, questioning, etc. VPs don't want to spend time filling in blanks in a data base. He said this to me because I filled a Taleo 'VP' application for his subsidiary bank with a Taleo internal rejection. The rejection was due to Taleo's issue with "Masters of Business Administration" vs "MBA" and "Masters Business Administration". Apparently, many people, even more mid-high level people are tired of this nonsense. The result is that they just won't use Taleo. The old method of give the friend a call, email a resume, etc are being kicked out by HR directors. It was replaced with a basic, load resume, fill in key info system. Thanks to Taleo, the current 2 hours of input by the recruit, no feedback to the recruit and the best candidates are not joining your company's team. Review Source DK David K. QA Manager Building Materials Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "So easy to use once you get familiar with it." June 3, 2019 4.0 Great customer service. Pros The ease of use was my favorite thing it had going for it. It took a little time to get used to but now it's a breeze. Cons The only thing that I can think of that is negative is the fact that it takes some time to familiarize yourself with the things it can do. Review Source SP Somer P. Marketing Analytics Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good if you have not used other Applicant Tracking in the past " November 30, 2016 4.0 Tales served the purpose for what it was supposed to do. However, the system was often very slow and frustrating to navigate. Ease of use and features are definitely not selling points as much as the value for the money which is why most corporate employers choose to go with this option. It gets the job done. Pros Functional for what it's supposed to do. Cons Not easy to navigate. Review Source SP Soleil P. Customer Support Representative Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Taleo for your Career needs!" March 19, 2018 4.0 Pros Every company that I've applied has Taleo. I like it because it's user friendly. You can also saved what you've search for future use Cons It doesn't have much criteria, even if you go to advanced job search, it doesn't give you much options compare to Jobstreet.com. Cannot sign automatically by LinkedIn Review Source KH Kayleigh H. HR Generalist Used the software for: ### "New Employee's time to production is sped up thanks to Taleo." February 10, 2016 3.5 Pros Taleo gives us the ability to speed up our Onboarding process and create a positive first impression. Our employees are able to knock out their new hire paperwork before their first day, speeding up their time to production. Cons Occasionally there are bugs with the PDF's loading. For example the Form I-9 and state tax forms that we have our employees complete are sometimes unable to be completed online and we have to resort to filing them out manually. This causes a hiccup in our process and is sometimes a headache to reach out the employees with the form, ask them to complete it and email and scan back to us in a timely fashion.

Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Useful Job Management Software" May 5, 2020 4.0 Pros Taleo is a cloud base talent management software very useful for company recruitment. This software is equipped with many features planning, performance managing, recruiting and etc Cons This software is comparatively difficult to use. Also cost is high Review Source SI Srinivas I. marketing associate Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing tool for configuring taleo. very fast and user friendly." March 30, 2018 4.0 Perfromance Appraisal. Pros 1\. very nicely desgined interface and taleo features. loving the design very much. 2. strong taleo performance management system. very nicely managed Cons Nothing like that. I really liked the product. But on-premise is bit expensive i felt. but it is worth every penny. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Job Search Tool" October 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use. Makes applying to jobs similar to shopping Cons Nothing really. This software is very easy to use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Bezorger Consumer Goods Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "As expected from oracle" August 31, 2019 4.0 Pros Good and mature software which easily has enough functionalities for the biggest part of the market Cons I haven't found any yet, maybe just the personalization options for the software. Review Source LS Lindsey S. Talent Acquisition Systems Administrator Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Customization is a hassle and not intuitive" March 23, 2016 1.5 Pros Our Taleo RSA is fantastic to work with, this does come at a hefty hourly rate. Cons Taleo is a difficult program for users to access, its slow and not intuitive. I also have not had great success working with our Customer Support Team, it is one of the more difficult vendors to work with. Review Source RB Rachel B. HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Taleo Enterprise" August 10, 2016 3.5 Pros Excellent for the price, easy to use, easy to learn Cons Lacks a dedicated rep for technical issues. Difficult to get quick answers Review Source cI connor I. analyst Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good produce but difficult to learn" August 1, 2018 3.0 Pros There are a lot of ways to use this product, and the functionality is good. All of our data is accurate and precise Cons Some of the terms are confusing (fill vs hold vs cancelling a req) and teaching these to new users is difficult. Review Source FR Filipe R. Mechanical Engineer Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "OTC Review" September 19, 2023 5.0 Pros Powerfull tool for talent management best suited for big companies with great IT specialist and good budget Cons OTC can be complexed to set up and configure, subscription cost and fees are to high Review Source MC Matthew C. Regional System Administrator Used the software for: ### "Regional System Administrator Taleo" May 8, 2015 4.0 Been the administrator of the tool for 2 yrs. quite easy to use... Our company could have done a much better job of setting up the infrastructure of the tool to improve the functionality of it... Even with out the onboarding module we have come up with many solutions to integrate the onboarding processes into too. As rigid as the workflow is, Taleo has many functionalities which make this tool very flexible. Review Source JB Johnny B. President Used the software for: ### "There is a reason why the software is in the quadrant they are in" June 5, 2015 4.0 I have been on all sides of Oracle's Taleo Cloud Service. I have been a user, a customer, as well as a senior level management at Taleo. The customer service is excellent. The level of support and the dollars spent by Oracle shows the dedication that is given to customers. The cloud approach to software is what most companies are moving to. Less cost in the area of infrastructure, programmer support and maintenance, are all value added as we look to streamline our business model, and focus on our core competencies. When searching for a job, Oracle's Taleo Cloud Service is the most streamlined in terms of 1)finding the appropriate job and 2) applying. Review Source CM Christine M. Recruiter Used the software for: ### "Luke Warm Impression" June 12, 2015 4.0 I think Taleo has the potential to be awesome. My issues with it mainly come from Customer Service. If there is an issue it is impossible to get any help. Our previous rep. told us that she "didn't really know much about Taleo" and most of what she could help us with was stuff that we easily figured out on our own. She would struggle to even show us how to edit email templates. We want to be making the most out of this ATS, but without some guidance or resources, we are struggling to find it all that beneficial to us. It's great for the basics, but other than that, my team has yet to find the real value behind using it. Review Source MH Michael H. Principal Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better have a solid implementation tem" August 9, 2017 4.0 Pros This does pretty much does everything you might need.... Offer letters, tracking, emails, searchability... Cons The potential for this product is great, so you may end up asking for everything, WAY before you're prepared to use it all, which might render the simple things the system does, useless. Review Source KR C. CEO Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Maybe is not the famous one but is better than SAP " April 20, 2018 4.0 Oracle develope a good solution but is too expensive. If they decrease the cost maybe can compite with every existence LMS Pros TALEO could help you to understand your employees. When you know the constant training is the main issue that you need to solve when you have an employee. Cons Maybe is to expensive compare with other LMS, this is the main gap in order to select it. Oracle can develop a better solution to decrease the cost. Review Source ST Sanjeev T. Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Managed Software Database for Staffing" December 19, 2017 5.0 Pros it is intuitive and customizable. it allows an applicant to maintain a portfolio.The reporting is very robust and easy to use, Cons The recruiter end user experience is not modernized and can be clunky to use at times. Paying by headcount rather than by user. Review Source HR Harsh R. Sr Technical Recruiter Used the software for: ### "its nice, Easy to handle andThe system is very customizable allowing creation of different user expe" August 27, 2015 4.0 Onboarding capabilities are not as intuitive as other modules. Configuration can be challenging. Customer service has deteriorated significantly since the acquisition by Oracle. Long response times and lackluster service. The ATS is not cost-effective for smaller organizations, although there are enterprise and SMB versions. Review Source Similar Products Featured
