Oracle Taleo Cloud Service one of the Best
Excellent we recommend it.
PROSOracle Taleo Enterprise Cloud Service is a software that allows us as an organization, specifically to the Human Resources department to systematically evaluate and compare the individual experience, skills and competencies of internal and external candidates to apply for the positions that are available. It is very useful because it allows us to encompass the entire Human Resources process from the recruitment, selection, hiring and compensation of personnel; as well as maintaining control over information on the profile, skills, training, experience, performance and career of human talent, facilitating the evaluation as to which person with the best profile should be considered for each particular position and who may have the best performance.
CONSTaleo is a system that manages talents, but lacks payroll control, occupational risk prevention, attendance control.

Consider if you need an all-in-one system
There are only a handful of full employee life cycle HRISs out there, so if that is of paramount importance, then Taleo is a decent option. However, if it is not, then I would recommend considering a bespoke recruitment system/ATS instead.
PROSIt offers an integrated HRIS and full range of talent management modules to support the full employee life cycle.
CONSThe learning curve for administrators and users is rather steep and the user interface is rather dated.

SO Many Better Options
I have used both Taleo Enterprise and Business Edition. Enterprise used to be the gold standard for a global organization in my opinion, and was first to market with functionality. The ability to add candidates to folders and pipeline in the system, and get reporting was ahead of it's time. Unfortunately following the Oracle acquisition of the product it has had few updates and is now like a 15 year old used car - it will get you were you want to go, but not in the most seamless, comfortable way possible compared to the Ferrari's on the market today. Their customer support used to have me waiting SIXTY minutes to speak with someone. It was terrible, and we ended up switching our ATS because of it.
CONSThe system is now full of dead ends, because their technical team seems to have placed band-aids on system problems rather than taken more time to find permanent fixes. They charge for everything if you want to make configuration changes, and won't let you do it yourself so you have to pay them.

Buy what you need
What I did learn is that it is totally up to your company to buy all the bells and whistles and functions that will help your team win at recruiting. If you get the right package, you have a pretty awesome program.
PROSEnjoyed that Taleo allowed for e mails and print letters to candidates. Also, that it has the capability to link with Lawson HRIS, background services and other necessary programs.
CONSThere were some actions that once you completed the action there was no way to stop it or recall it or change it. I literally had to redo the entire process to change an offer if I sent it out incorrectly. It was missing an edit function.

Big Companies need Giant software
Oracle Taleo help you to mentor your team and make your day more easy as keep all report for each one in and out ,and in that way give you the control system on who under your charge, the software help head of department to eliminate paper work to be in one day only as help you in evaluation every person individually
CONSI think the platform is so hard to handle and to know how it's use, and report must be configured at beginning. the implementation maybe be long and hard in beginning , however i think it is worth.

I utilize Taleo for full-lifecycle recruiting
It captures and organizes a huge number of applicants
PROSTaleo is relatively easy to use and has a broad range of functionality. It is also extremely customizable.
CONSThe user experience leaves something to be desired, it feels outdated. Taleo is not particularly intuitive, and needs stronger integration with other HR systems

So So System
It does what we need it to do and eliminates manual processes, but it is not the most seamless or sophisticated option I've used.
PROSI like the onboarding integration that allows all onboarding paperwork to be done by the employee prior to start (I-9, W-4, Direct Deposit, and a variety of custom created forms). It also allows for workflows between multiple people, such as recruiter, candidate, hiring manager, etc.
CONSThe user experience definitely isn't the best I've seen. The interface is rather unsophisticated looking, and it can be clunky to click from page to page when trying to get to certain information. It doesn't do certain things that I've been used to from other ATS and Onboarding systems, such as being able to see all the I-9 information in once place and easily feed to E-verify.

Often our clients use Taleo, and often we prefer they don't! Not the best portal for recruiters
Taleo is comprehensive - you can add a lot of information for each candidate, and it can be a strong overall tool for a firm when managing hundreds of applicants.
CONSThe software is just too clunky when trying to add CVs - being unable to remove/adjust attachments, having to go through a lengthy 'verification' process for each email which is often wrong... it just needs to be easier to navigate as too many options can be a bad thing!

It helps me to keep track of everything in the same place
I can track employees on the same platform. It helps me to keep track of everything in the same place. the ability to accelerate our incorporation process and create a positive first impression. Employees can eliminate their new employee paperwork before the first day, speeding up production time.
PROSIt is very functional, excellent price, easy to use, easy to learn, it is great to work with it. Makes sense. Logical. It has a good board and design. Easy to see.
CONSIt is very difficult to navigate in it. It lacks a dedicated representative for technical problems. Slow responses It is very strong but sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming. It has many different features that need tutorials or training.

The nightmare-fueled world of Taleo
Now that I've learned my way around the platform, I grin and bear it. You'd be better off with almost any other ATS.
PROSOnce you get over the STEEP learning curve, it becomes a marginally useful tool for tracking your pipeline. The in@taleoinbox feature is quite handy.
CONSThe search functions are essentially nonfunctional and non-intuitive. If you're trying to find all candidates that experience using a certain tool for example, it is truly a toss-up whethere the results are relevant or not. There's no preview window for the resumes or profiles on search results; you must therefore go search each profile one at a time. Same goes for making edits. CRM pipelines also not visible on list views.

Good ATS and highly customizable
Good system for large organization
PROS- Customizable ATS system - Easy to use as long and you spend the time to set up correctly - Fairly quick to set up - Different products to suit smaller vs. larger customers
CONS- Customer service is not good, and difficult to get help if something doesn't work well - Data Migrations don't always work as they should. Take the time to map fields!

Better value elsewhere if you don't need Oracle Software for recruiting
PROSIt is an Oracle product so it implements and snycs with existing software well. Being experienced with other Oracle Software I felt the look of the landing page was positive and it was easy to get around the site!
CONSThe Price is very high especially if you want "full features." Felt a little nickled and dimed to get all the features we wanted. Salesman was honest but it was frustrating

I don't know yet
PROSI like the TCC use. Integrating between systems seems to be straightforward and user friendly most of the time.
CONSPaying by headcount rather than by user. We have employees who are not users, no access to system, but we pay for them per the contract.

A big name connected to a mediocre product
1. Oracle attached to the name therefore people will not need to worry about quality. 2. Suitable for large businesses.
CONSWhen you think of Oracle, you can only think of greatness. Unfortunately Taleo does not live up to the mark. The following are the flaws that I have found as a user. 1. Very slow. 2. Too many filters that makes it very confusing for a new user. 3. Not very user friendly as one needs to spend much time in first understanding the product and then use it. 4. Search results are not always accurate. 5. Not as good as its price demands.

Very Detailed and in depth recruiting tool
I used this system as a recruiter for a major trucking company -- Taleo is a great product for storing, managing, and reviewing potential recruits. Job postings are simple enough and allow for quite a bit of in depth detail if needed. From the job seeker side, it is a typical long drawn out process to fill out, and it does lack abilities to pull in correct data from Resumes when loaded. That being said, it is still easy enough to navigate and review even from the recruit side.
PROSIn depth and very robust in functionality
CONSDoes not do a great job of grabbing correct data from uploaded resumes.

Taleo is overpriced but you do get what you pay for.
Taleo is a very great tool for anyone involved in recruiting. I have used multiple ATS platforms and Taleo has the most functions of all of them.
CONSAs I mentioned in the Pros section, Taleo has tons of functions and options. I remember hearing about a car with a heated steering wheel. Albeit that is an option, it isnt needed. The main drawback of Taleo is it has too much. Youre not sure what tool to use and how to use it.

Outdated software and poor support
I didn't choose this product and can only imagine that it used to be a great product.
PROSTechnically it got the job done. Jobs posted, candidates submit and we can review. But nothing is too easy along the way.
CONSFlash based interface means I can't use modern browsers. Klunky and non-intuitive buttons mean I send reviews to the wrong people. Google Analytics integration, while possible was a nightmare to find someone who could help tell us how to do it.
