Overall Satisfaction with Oracle HCM Cloud
We are currently using it to hire new employees, the application itself is straightforward, not the prettiest based on what I've seen with some of the younger companies such as Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, etc., but it does the job in terms of resume screening and getting info into the system about candidates.
- Cloud software - so I like being able to access it just with a login (SSO in my particular case).
- Helps make the review process for candidates more streamlined as opposed to fielding resumes via email and forwarding promising ones to others, etc.
- Getting updates over cloud and not having to install and being on the latest and greatest is always nice. I like the UI face (if it was on prem how long would I have to wait for that?).
- Not as pretty as some of the other competitors, but I have heard that up time is higher with Oracle HCM
- Account Manager is a bit aggressive in trying to up sell, realistically we only use it for recruiting within the department (I am simply a user, so not insane robust features necessary).
- Applicant tracking and for compliance issues, not as relevant to my role as an occasional hiring manager but helps out if anything were to come out.
- Save space in our team drive because we aren't downloading so many resumes to our shared drive and also it keeps a log of which ones we approve of and don't approve of, applicant history, etc.
- Our recruiting counterpart likes it because if we track the applicant from the very start they can submit offers digitally without having to call them up again or mailing an offer
Oracle HCM does not have a UI as slick as the others, but my company's back office application stack is rooted in Oracle across many functions and it's what our HR counterpart uses for recruiting and job postings, so it was not as much of a choice. If you're a small company it could be worth checking out some of the smaller, newer applications with more mdoernized UIs.
