## Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) Reviews
  ### 1. Hire employees with the system

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Once you get everything set up in Taleo the system runs pretty smooth. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The Taleo system as a whole has problems. The system overall is not user-friendly and the learning curve is very difficult for a new user. I had to make a dozen plus phone calls just to set up the system. Once the system was set up, things did not get much better. I was unsure on the next step to make in the system to push my new interviewees to the next set. Several more phones calls follow just to walk me through the process. I'm sure this is easy for someone who does nothing but hire people. But if you only hire 2 employees a year... this system does not work well. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Interviewing new employees. No real true benefits other than everything is online. 

  ### 2. Functional, but outdated model

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Taleo has some customizable tools, as well as a good range for organizing and filtering. It scrapes requisitions publically as well as links to outside recruiting sites.  

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Lots of technical issues. Consistently times out, only loads 1,000 candidates at a time and has a long load time. Glitches for candidates and often "hides" candidates depending on the step-status they're in. Not 100% mobile-friendly for candidates. Not easy to build requisitions or offer letters.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Speed up loading time, get glitches out of system and update technologies. It is outdated in comparison to competitors. I often read reviews from candidates having negative experiences as well and completely being turned off to companies because they utilize Taleo.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to recruit and hire candidates on a large-volume scale. 

  ### 3. Taleo

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Ability to create tasks that are conditioned and able to spawn additional tasks based on the result/field selected.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

There is no ability to push items from the staging zone to production. It necessitates the need to  create everything anew.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Integration with 3rd party LMS, advanced line of sight on recruitment activities.

  ### 4. Very Good for Hiring

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2019

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I like the layout and ease of use for the software the most. Very easy to navigate and use each day. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Having to sign in at each use. It would be great if there were cookies saved for log in info on Taleo to reduce sign ins. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hiring, helps us sort thru applicants and setup interviews easily 

  ### 5. Around 12+ years of experience

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Look and Feel, maintenance, easy to understand

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Not all topics have full documentation and dependent on Oracle SR team raising SR's

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Maintenance by business is reduced a lot

  ### 6. My Overall, 3 years of Oracle HCM Experience at National Instruments

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adorján T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The performance module and the 9 box talent review meetings. It is so useful for managers and also for the company to build up a valid and sustainable talent strategy. It builds up from raw data and ends up in some very informative charts within the 9 box meeting with colors and stuff so the managers and everyone else immediately sees what is the situation if it comes to talents and their estimated impact on the business, whether they are likely to stay or likely to leave.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The nasty, unexplained bugs that resolves themselves from time to time without anyone doing anything to them, and, for which no one has a valid explanation. Unfortunately these happen everywhere withing HCM Cloud, but of course we have more successful transactions than nasty ones ending up in unexpected an alien-ish errors. :) Lucky thing also, that there were no business critical issues so far. And on the other hand, self-resolving bugs rock too I guess. :D

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

I have no experience with other HCM tools unfortunately, but Oracle HCM Cloud, despite all of it's flaws, helps the business to bring better results, I'm sure.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Talent management for sure. It is a HUGE change compared to what the company has been doing in the past. There are plenty more, but that is my favorite topic today.

- The reporting, BI tool is also capable to deliver amazing results for managers and VPs to make their decisions. Strategic and operational too. It is a great deal of work to make it happen, but it worth all the efforts I think we put into this to build cool reports for them. Ones that they can pull themselves too at any time!

  ### 7. Great experience.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

My team uses oracle daily to pull, manipulate, and upload data. We analyze P&Ls and do budgeting in Oracle as well so rely on it heavily. So far it’s been easy to use.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

At times when multiple people from my organization are pulling data, it can be slow. 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Great product.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Benefits include the storage of large amounts of data, pulling data to manipulate, and having a go-to place where everyone has access to. 

  ### 8. For the most part, i enjoy using taleo

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katelyn D. | National Recruiter, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

i like the sorting on the side so i am able to filter by step, application date, or id number

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I would like an app. I think it would also be useful to be able to save our filtered settings when viewing candidates. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to effectively move applications through our interview process. It makes for easy organization and im also able to send emails directly from the sight which is nice to have. 

  ### 9. fabulous the trace of the candidates

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

you can have in a single application the entire traceability of a selection process, from when you contact the candidate until you hire them, going through all the contacts maintained. from when you contact the person until the end of the process and keep a record of everything, in addition to being able to make reports and graphs to later analyze all the collected information. Furthermore, it is multiposting, which allows you to publish the ad on various job portals, both paid and free.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

many screens and difficulties for small contracts

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Benefits without a doubt for an HR company since the trace is relevant for everyone who works with people, and having it in a single application is phenomenal. I would recommend all HR professionals to try it so they can later decide if it suits them or not.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

facilitate the work of HR managers in companies with a lot of hiring

  ### 10. Edit peoples information

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** UC User B. | PA2, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

It is very easy to understand and to use. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

That I do not have the editing permission

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

I do not have any particular recommendations for Oracle at this time. I think the product is good. I also no not know any other products that can be used in the same manner. Oracle pretty much is the top of the competition if there is even any type of close competition out there in the world today. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to work on accounts from multiple locations

  ### 11. Clunky and outdated

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kelli L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

You know what you're getting with Oracle - that is, a product that is part of a large family of business software. Getting assistance is pretty easy, and you're connected with someone that you can understand. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The software is clunky and outdated. There are so many steps to setting up a req or moving candidates. This process should be streamlined to make my job easier and give the candidate a better experience. 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Oracle is a great product if you've got time on your hands to deal with the meticulous nature of the program. If you're working for a large company that has a recruiter(s) for each business segment and only have <20 reqs to fill at any given moment, you'll enjoy it. If you're like me and only 1 of 3 recruiters for the whole company with 70-120 reqs on your shoulders, you'll find yourself searching for something else. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having an Applicant Tracking System is necessary when hiring employees for a 1000+ employee workforce. It is nice to be able to retrieve reports and forecast with Oracle as well.

  ### 12. Taleo review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 11, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

For the most past taleo is very easy to use and it is very easy to keep up with applications and learning modules. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

It seems like extra steps to add  learning modules could be set up more efficiently. Also it would be nice to be able to easily access an up to date learning scores and progress from employees. 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Read the manual thoroughly 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not really any. It would be nice if it was integrated with out scheduling 

  ### 13. Talent Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Renee O. | Recruiter, Consumer Goods, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Very easy to navigate, makes recruitment process easier.Tracks process throughout the year.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Have not used long enough to give a solid dislike answer.  I am liking what I am seeing so far!

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Ease of use is very simplified.  Very user friendly and eases the recruitment process.  Ability to employees to refer others to positions.  

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Simplifying the recruitment process.  Able to use for referral recruitment! 

  ### 14. It's done what we needed it to do

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa T. | Digital Marketing Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Taleo keeps track of all of our past and present job applicants, job openings, job descriptions and the dates that they all transpired. Good organization. Even if we receive job applications from the sources, we route all applicants through Taleo as well.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Not a fan of the social sharing portion. There's not an ideal preview image with the sharing. We end up sharing manually on social media so we can showcase the job openings in the best light possible. It would be nice if Taleo incorporated some of the features that sites like Facebook jobs have, especially some nice photo options.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

It's great for organizing. All hiring information in one place.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Good organization for job applicants. Open for over a decade and having several locations, it's easy to forget who was interviewed, not interviewed and why. We have a resource to refer back to even years later. It's especially helpful for when we have people re-apply months or years later.

  ### 15. Thorough reporting but not intuitive 

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessica W. | Human Resources Business Partner, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

THE REPOrting function is very detailed and has multiple different ways to use the data. However you have to train recruiters and hiring managers how to use the functions appropriately for the data to be accurate 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The program is hard to interface with Others and Feed info automatically 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Use all of the products for better interface 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Recruiting and onboarding. It is a way to track candidates from anywhere 

  ### 16. Applicant Tracking System

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Taleo has several cons however some of the pros of the ATS is the compatibility with other systems we use. Such as our background provider. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The platform is not user friendly and an application takes roughly 23 mins. This is becoming more and more unacceptable to candidates. The system does not work well as a CRM and basic searches in the system aren't useful.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We currently use Taleo as our ATS. We review applications, submit offer letters, etc. However, we've found that it is not the best investment we've made. 

  ### 17. Oracle Taleo: Everything You Need to Know

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

This product is wonderful because it is easy to use, clear and crisp, fast and efficient, and makes office tasks MUCH easier. Before using this service provided by Oracle, my day at the office was much more difficult and less efficient.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

There is nothing I dislike about this service. I sat down and thought about what I do not like, and the only thought was, what's not to like?" This is a wonderful product that can make your business go from mediocre to excellent. Again, nothing to dislike about this at all.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

If you are considering if you should use this product, think no further, and just go with using it. It will save you a lot of headaches at work. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main business problems solved with Oracle Taleo are to provide a comprehensive application tracking system and efficient compensation management. Other than that, we do not use it for much else.

  ### 18. The best way I know to manage all the potential candidates we hire

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

This cloud-based app is fantastic when it comes to picking just the right candy that you need for a job. It's able to sort out all different qualification and keep a lot of Records on file. This makes it very convenient when you need to pull up a job application or some other specific qualification on a Canada Day or employee that you may have hired already. This is just a well based all around application that definitely gets the job done when the hiring process gets to be a little too complicated.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The only thing I can really say I dislike about it is the fact when you tend to start building up a lot of different Ploy ease it does get a little flooded with information that you definitely have to sort through in order to get what you're looking for.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

My recommendation is that give it a chance have patience with it and it will become your best friend during the Orton Borden of any job position available

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The business problem solve with Oracle is being able to customize and sort through all the different job application during the arm boarding process. This comes in really handy because very convenient when you need to pick out specific qualification on each candidate. It could take hours without using this application but this makes it so simple

  ### 19. Horrible ATS

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

There is nothing beneficial about this tool. Taleo Client Connect is the worst technology that exists to pass data to and from Taleo. It causes nothing but grief for us. All managers at our entire global company refuse to use Taleo in it's current capacity to open, source, and close reqs. Recruiters only now slightly like Taleo because of Fluid Recruiting, which in the end only leaves a desire to have more Fluid.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The system performance is incredibly slow. The administration set up and maintenance is a full time job for three people.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Onboarding solves an electronic candidate experience for global new hires.

  ### 20. The ease of categorizing and understanding applicants makes hiring much easier!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** JP H. | HR Coordinator, Hospital & Health Care, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

you have an in depth understanding of each candidate based on their resume as well as the additional questions you customize for them to answer

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Sometimes it can be hard to categorize candidates.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

it helps us coordinate with our hiring managers to find the best candidates for the position.

  ### 21. Oracle’s Taleo ATS is a terrible product 

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I can find nothing that I like best about this product vs other ATS products I’ve used.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Almost everything about Taleo is not user friendly. It’s very difficult and time consuming to do a lot of actions in Taleo that wastes recruiters valuable time. It’s extremely frustrating how poorly the product was made. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is used as an applicant tracking system to keep track of applicants that apply to open requisitions. 

  ### 22. Great user experience

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rudy V. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Self service emplyee part where an employee can change his status him or herself

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Orgchart presentation can still be better.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reducing manual effort of the HR administration so that they can focus more on their core tasks.

  ### 23. Cloud Introduction

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cedric S. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The functionality and ease of use is amazing!  The flexibility and predictive analytics suggest amazing potential.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Government use cases were lacking.  It would be nice to actually see the potential.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Modernization and reduction of application stack...

  ### 24. Very in depth software backed by a 5 star customer support team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Taleo covers all bases of whatever you could possibly need and then some. If the software is lacking somewhere, you can work with their customer support team to find a work around

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

It was a little confusing and complicated to master at first but once you moved past that, I really didn't have any issues with it.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

It is an expensive software to implement but I believe it is truly worth the money so you can focus less on the HR side and get back to what really matters about your company

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have worked for companies that have different softwares for everything and I feel like it slows the process down by having to log in to 3 or 4 or 5 different applications when you can use just the 1 and get everything accomplished.

  ### 25. Good tool for beginners

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

This tool is expansive in the types of reports you can generate, so can fit almost any type of business and need. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I wish the tool was easier to navigate. Sometimes I am not sure exactly what I am looking for but know the general category, and it can be hard to navigate around that.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Use it if you want a reliable source of tracking consumer behavior. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am currently using this in a course to work on a group project surrounding a pharmaceutical business case. 

  ### 26. Complete traceability of the selection process

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

What I like the most is that you can have comprehensive traceability of the candidate to be selected from the moment you post the ad until you hire them. Also, afterwards you can have communications with the person. Post the ad, the values are registered in the offer, schedule interviews, and see the whole process; it's a great tool.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

What I dislike the most is that you have to consistently reflect everything at all times, and sometimes it is quite complex.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

It is perfect for consulting and HR activities.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has been perfectly integrated into the personnel management software, and after selecting the candidate, you can make the employment contract.

  ### 27. WORST Software for job applications

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katlyn K. | Research Director, Newspapers, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I do not like anything about this software. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Everything. It says my password is wrong when I know it isn't; it tells me I'm missing values when I click submit, but after clicking submit, all of my values disappear so I have to start over. It's seriously the worst software. The type is small and difficult to read, it says it takes things from your resume but it's all in the wrong places and doesn't make any sense. I hate, hate this software.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

This is awful. I purposefully avoid applying to jobs that use Taleo. It always says my password is wrong, even when I reset it. When I click submit but am missing items, all of my responses previously recorded disappear and I have to start over. I sincerely hate this software. It's terrible. it looks like something from the 1990s, and works just as well.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None it's awful software.

  ### 28. ATS gets the job done

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeanne K. | Associate, Management Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Taleo is a good place to hold applicant data and is especially useful for collecting resumes from job postings.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Very clunky - not easily searchable; also not great for adding candidates who haven't applied through Taleo

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Do not use this as your only recruiting software if you are sourcing the majority of candidates rather than them applying.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our main use is to collect resumes when we post jobs

  ### 29. Oracle

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Outsourcing/Offshoring | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Oracle is a database software by which we could pull huge amount of data from database. Queries we run to pull data are simple and easy to write.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Graphic User Interface is not that user friendly. While pulling huge data, Oracle also takes huge amount of time.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Oracle has helped in fetching large amount of data and any number of users can access it at the same time.

  ### 30. Oracle review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bryce I. | Business Owner, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The simplicity of the program while having in depth features.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Nothing I dislike. This program suited all of our needs.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Make the switch if you haven’t already.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hiring and recruiting, it simplifies the process compared to most other software.

  ### 31. Don't Complicate It

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sporting Goods | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

All talent is pooled together. You can see the progression of an applicant from any requisition they may have applied. You can search for any applicant whose applied to your company not just your specific branch. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

To know how to transfer an application or see it right away is complicated. You need a good guide to how to do most things that should be a simple click of the button. You can get lost easily when trying to do something as simple as send out an offer, I've had issues with it twice actually sending the offer out and have to partner with someone almost every time I do get one sent out. The layout is presented as simple but unless you know exactly where to go you can screw things up quick or not find what you need.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hiring and sorting through applications is much easier than keeping paper applications or resumes. Completing all required paperwork online helps keep office time to a minimum when needing to get someone on board quickly. 

  ### 32. Efficient and Organized Applicant Tracking System

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I enjoy using Taleo to build requisitions and track the progress of my candidates. Being able to add collaborators in each requisition allows for the necessary team work I need and helps make the process more streamline.
I also appreciate that Taleo is compatible with other applications and that we can interconnect them as necessary. Integrations continue to make my job more efficient, and I look forward to seeing what else Taleo does in the future.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

There are times I find myself frustrated that the application closes out so quickly (typically less than 30 minutes). If the duration of time was longer this would be very helpful. Additionally, I think software glitches could be approved upon - recently we had an experience in our department where everyone was having glitches in Taleo.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main business benefits I experience are: keeping lists of my candidates organized, being able to clearly see what step/status they are in, what other requisitions candidates are in, and having a separate tab for candidates attachments. In general, all of my work on candidates can be tracked in Taleo, and my work in other applications is very minimal which is helpful. It is also beneficial to be able to disposition candidates so that I do not have to continue to view candidates that do not qualify, or have withdrawn. 

  ### 33. Overpriced but you get what you pay for

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sidharth A. | PMO Associate, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Of all the recruitment software that I've looked into, Taleo is one software that has the most features. It is a very complete/robust platform with a huge potential to customize as per the recruitment process. It has capabilities to integrate with multiple software/platforms including social networks. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

It's not at all user-friendly and requires help from an expert to set it up. As the project gets bigger, it becomes harder to use as the options may become confusing. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps in keeping all the candidates in one place. Its customizable nature can help you fit it into your recruitment process.

  ### 34. Amazing functionality for hiring manager

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Paper & Forest Products | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Just started to use Taleo and love how all my applicants, their details and the posting are all in one spot. I have the capability to be to view/review/pursue and reject applicants as needed without bothering my recruiter. Gives me much better access to quickly fill my role.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The way cover letters and resumes are attached and load. Would rather just see them expanded in a view then down load them. Also the "back" feature is not intuitive. If I have created a search should be cleaner to return to it (could be user error)

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

It is VERY easy to use and intuitive. I'd highly recommend it. Get it into hiring managers hands as fast as you can!

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hiring people more quickly and efficiently and enabling hiring managers. This tool allows us to avoid the email me the resume/schedule the interview etc. etc steps. I am only using part of the possible functionality and was able to log in and start using it with ZERO training or help.

  ### 35. ATS

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Ability to streamline the hiring process.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Does not work hand and hand with ADP so you have to manually change titles.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Streamlined HR. Quick hiring time.

  ### 36. Oracle Learning

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

structure of content to be reviewed is in depth and applicable to my position based on the classes or learning chosen

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

the option to not customize learning based on what i "want to know" vs "already know".

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

gaps in knowledge base, great coverage of benefits

  ### 37. Oracle HCM Cloud transforming our business

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

HCM Cloud has allowed us to expand our functionality.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Implementation was much more rigorous than we had understood. Took much longer than anticipated.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have implemented quite a bit of additional functionality. Our users are much more connected and in charge of their data.

  ### 38. Good for organizing multiple candidates and requisitions.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Condenses the candidates into a single area and I can check the status of each from one screen.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

 System is fairly slow to start and to load each section.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organizing candidates and requisitions. Nice having everything together and I can juggle more candidates at the same time.

  ### 39. Worst HRIS 

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2017

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I don't like anything about this HRIS product.  It's clunky, the support is horrible, and isn't customization much at all.  The nice thing we were able to do was coin it a different name to our employees to make it more geared towards out business.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

It's clunky, the support is horrible, and isn't customization much at all.  Daily tasks that should take no time at all take at least 3 times longer and don't expect your reporting to be accurate.  The workflows aren't there and each time they do a release, it screws up the system or takes additional time for us to test.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Consider looking at different companies especially if you are spending more labor and time trying to make the system work.  The cost might seem daunting to switch but in the end, it'll end up saving you time and money while creating a better and more accurate system. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've done the opposite and created more problems with Oracle Taleo.  In a market of other products, I would steer clear of this if you want to make your worklife easy. 

  ### 40. Straightforward ATS - mostly fit for purpose but lacks innovation

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

As far as a bare bones ATS goes - it works. The screens and process steps are easy to learn and use. I was up to speed on Oracle Taleo in less than a day.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

As more and more recruiting goes social (in my case mostly Linkedin), the social features are really lacking. There is no easy and intuitive way to share on Linkedin, and we ended up using a manual 'bolt on' for Social Sourcing.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Look elsewhere if you are moving to 'Social Sourcing'. If you are just looking for a straightforward ATS system - Oracle Taleo is fit for purpose.

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The basics - putting reqs out there and the subsequent hiring process. In that sense it is fit for purpose, and the benefits include many successful hires. 

  ### 41. Outdated

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The ability to send a reminder to users when awaiting approval. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Taleo’s format is not user friendly. It is a very much antiquated system which companies use either out of loyalty or the fact that it is international. 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

I would  not recommend using Oracle Taleo as an applicant tracking system. I would however recommend ApplicantPro it’s a much more cost effective and user friendly system. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Taleo is used for Recruiting purposes. A benefit of Taleo is its ability to post multiple job reqs for various companies within an organization. Also the ability to verify the status of a requisition. 

  ### 42. Good management platform

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Victoria M. | Clinical Research Assistant, Hospital & Health Care, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Easy to access and control questions etc with the premade format

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

on the candidate's side it's difficult to see specific job descriptions/requirements while applying

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

very standardized, good for large corporations or organizations but sort of impersonal

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

hiring and managing candidate applications

  ### 43. Good for tracking data and acquiring good candidates

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Olivia K. | Pilot Recruitment Co-op, Airlines/Aviation, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Easy to use, design of website, can collaborate with others, integration with different websites.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Sometimes there are technical issues with the system when sending information to candidates

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are finding talent for the organization. Taleo easily ranks candidates who have applied to the posting

  ### 44. Oracle Review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

The power of Oracle. Large company with a lot of developers that are constantly pushing patches/upgrades, etc. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Takes a long time for some of the "cutting edge" tech that is being developed across the HR tech landscape to be considered or adopted by Oracle. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Streamling HR systems to one platform. Too soon to tell. 

  ### 45. I use it for onboarding employees into people soft

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Recently we’ve been having to manually enter new employees into peoplesoft from taleo, I can see most of the information on one screen so that is helpful. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I don’t like that there isn’t an easier process working at the moment to put info into peoplesoft than me entering manually. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I guess the benefit is being able to find all the location in one place for new employee and not having to ask a coworker for a bunch of information 

  ### 46. oracle review 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Reporting system in Oracle . I like to use this system for candidate reporting purposes, for new hire onbosding information, turnover.. ect

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

System slowness. The system tends to slow down very much with processing requests. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use the reporting system with Oracle HCM, and give me a great overview of candidate tracking 

  ### 47. Terrible Outdated Useless Product

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tanya K. | Human Resources Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 02, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

I don't like anything about this product. It is not user friendly. There are too many errors in trying to move candidates ahead without explanation of errors or missing information.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Everything! It's a pain to manage candidates, the hiring managers don't have a portal for themselves that can be used so everything is done offline. I can't manage candidate interviews and feedback. My goodness this product is dated. 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Dont do it! Choose other software that is more recent. Smaller companies should go with Greenhouse or Lever. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using Taleo for Recruitment Process management and Candidate Management. It's terrible so we're moving to SuccessFactors

  ### 48. Taleo is the worst B2C software in existence, esp. for job seekers

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

When Taleo offers the option to pull in Linkedin data. Meaning, I have to interact Taleo much less than without the Linkedin plugin.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Every single feature. From the number of screens/pages, to the ATS-dependent ingestion process, to the education tab (check most recent education), to required or non-required fields. 
Their forgot password/username feature doesn't work. It sends you an access code. 
If you ask them for help, they claim no responsibility and request you call the company that you applied to. It does not feel like Taleo cares about the job seeker experience, just the employers pulling in reports on HR productivity. 



**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

Use Greenhouse. 

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My business right now is finding a job, Taleo solves that problem easily about 5% of the time. I've realized no benefits. 

  ### 49. Chunky but statistic powerful

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

OBI reporting that allows you to view various recruitment metrics.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Chunky interface and runs slow.  Often freezes with OBI and requires you to login again

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

More focus on the bugs that are within the software.  I have a general feel that the product is developed but there is little investment on making it competitive or more user friendly.  There are many companies that are now using ATS software for their career sites to override the Oracle information because it is difficult for candidates to navigate within Taleo based systems.  

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Metric tracking of recruitment efforts

  ### 50. Not good

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bethany H. | Accounting Manager/Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

Our company tried this before we changed to another software for applications, employee tracking, etc. and honestly, there was nothing good about the system. There is not a single thing that I would recommend about this program (at least from my company's point of view) because it just didn't work for us. The only really nice thing is that it would automatically save your work and your user name and password which is something that our system now does not do.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo)?**

disliked everything about system because it just wasn't the right fit for our company. using this is something that a large corporation should be doing. My company has less than 100 employees, so we did not need the amount of information and data required for candidate testing and tracking. The information and testing that a candidate has to do would probably be well worth it for a larger company, but it was something that just didn't mesh well with our company. 

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo):**

make sure it is for a large business or corporation

**What problems is Oracle Talent Management Cloud (formerly Taleo) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were trying to solve hiring and employee and applicant tracking. This is not something that we were able to accomplish by using the system, so we ended up going with something else. The software did not solve any of our business issues or anything like that and helped us in no way, but would probably be ideal for a larger corporation. Would definitely recommend to a company whose HP department has a large volume of applicants and hundreds of positions open so that they are able to track all and see who would fit the best in what position. This was just too much for the company that i work for.
