Oracle Taleo

Overall Satisfaction with Oracle HCM Cloud (including Taleo)

Oracle HCM Cloud is being used by my entire organisation for all our human resources and recruitment needs, as well by finance for time cards and vacation days. It is a very useful group of programs for us and addresses a lot of necessary business needs. We also have procurement linked to our Oracle HCM Cloud, and everything is self-service which is very important to our company.
  • Everything is self-service and easy to use.
  • Being in the cloud makes it easy to access from wherever you need.
  • Unifies several important programs for our employees (procurement, HR, benefits, time cards/payroll, expenses, etc) all in one place.
  • The UI for Taleo as an end user is not attractive and I don't think this reflects well on our company (and other companies that use it).
  • Taleo is not very intuitive for the end user, it doesn't allow you to open multiple windows (you have to save a job to the job cart and then go to the cart to look at it otherwise you have to start the search again) - I worry that we lose good applicants who get annoyed with the website.
  • The procurement portion of Oracle HCM Cloud can be improved, the search results can sometimes miss things and it can be very frustrating to find what you need sometimes.
  • We have had problems with receiving alerts from the expenses portion of Oracle HCM Cloud.
  • Our recruitment department has become almost twice as efficient after we began using Taleo for our recruitment needs.
  • Internal procurement has been made very easy and has taken a huge burden off our team assistants.
  • For internal promotions and opportunities for our employees (using the talent review portion of Oracle HCM Cloud).
We also considered Workday HCM but in the end, we decided to go with Oracle HCM Cloud because it had more options and was easier to integrate with our existing programs. We are a very large organisation and Workday did not offer all the options that we need in order to run our business efficiently and keep our HR department from doubling to handle all the necessities of running our business.
Oracle HCM Cloud is very well suited for large enterprises (or organisations) because it has a lot of different (and very essential) programs that integrate together to help you run your business, and the advantage for your employees is that everything is in one place and it is self-service with single-sign-on. So your employees will not waste time going from one application to another to complete things that are required by HR, payroll, recruitment, procurement, management, etc. It might not be well suited for small businesses because it might be too complicated and comprehensive.
