Oracle Taleo
Overall Satisfaction with Oracle HCM Cloud (including Taleo)
Taleo is being used as an on-demand cloud based application tracking system by the entire organization and especially by the HR department. Earlier, there was no data backed way to identify where the talent acquisition is wrong and why we are not able to attract the best talent in the market. With Taleo, we have enhanced analytical and reporting capabilities which help us identify gaps and rectify them immediately. Everything is tracked and available just at a click.
- It has made the entire hiring process more agile as now both the HR manager and the hiring manager see the same information at the same time. So, it cuts down on the time required by the HR manager to communicate to the hiring manager regarding the relevant candidates. This time saved enhances the productivity of the managers.
- It provides a snapshot of the complete talent pool in the organization and the pipeline as well. Dashboards when integrated with our ERP system gives some powerful insights like the areas of concerns, overpaid employees , most productive recruiting channels, etc.
- We have received great feedback from the candidates applying through our new career portal based on Taleo. The bounce rate of candidates has decreased which itself is a strong indicator that Taleo is more user friendly and a quicker way to apply for a job.
- The cost of ownership is high and in my opinion, it becomes unaffordable for small organizations.
- It does not have all the capabilities of a CRM solution which should be available at the price it is charging.
- A mobile app is missing which takes away the main benefit of it being a cloud based solution. The productivity can be drastically enhanced if mobile support is available.
