Oracle Taleo

Overall Satisfaction with Oracle HCM Cloud (including Taleo)

Oracle HCM Cloud is used by the entire organization in different capacities. It is being used by HR teams to hire and manage talent. Employees use it to see different openings within the organization and also to refer other candidates. It makes talent management easy and one can do it on the go as it is available over the cloud. It gives a complete picture of the talent pool within and outside the organization. The candidates are directly able to apply using Taleo and it is easy to customize application forms for different job positions.
  • Single HCM system allows better talent management. It becomes easy and convenient when new employees are joining as all the approvals are done quickly and it drastically reduces the time and effort in these processes.
  • Reports and applications are completely configurable and one can easily automate the tasks which doesn't require human intervention to increase productivity.
  • It also easily integrates with other service providers like online video interview services and background verification service providers.
  • It also helps to increase the reach of a hiring drive by advertising to social media directly.
  • Customer support is not up to the mark though it has improved in the last few months.
  • Applying for a job is time consuming and does not offer an option to extract the information automatically from Linkedin.
  • Searching candidate resumes is not optimized. It can have better way to organize resumes, add tags so that relevant candidates can be searched with ease when a new requirement comes up.
Oracle HCM Cloud is relevant for medium size to large size companies where a considerable amount of time and effort goes into hiring and managing talent. The companies with a lot of internal departments and that are operating in multiple geographies definitely need to have a unified system like this so as to have a complete snapshot of the talent pool.
If an organization is looking for a complete HR administration solution inclusive of a talent management solution, then Oracle HCM cloud is not the ideal solution. Oracle has a separate solution named 'Fusion' to pair with Taleo, migration to which takes a huge effort and cost.
