Recruiting? It's Taleo!
It is very great in organizing the recruitment efforts of every company. If you want to have a great applicant tracking system, I suggest use Taleo!
Pros
Taleo is our applicant tracking system. As a database, it helps us keep track of all job openings, applicants, JDs, and the dates they all happened.
Taleo helped us to have good organization in our recruitment efforts. It is very powerful that we can see if an applicant applied to us previously, what position they applied for, and what was the outcome of their application.
Cons
I think the social sharing portion is a bit unupgraded. There is also no preview of how the sharing will look like so we still manually share it on social media sites, and this is taking some of our precious time.
I hope Taleo incorporate social media sites such as FaceBook, and Instagram, and if they do it, I hope they have a great template and photos as well.

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.
Pros
It 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.
Cons
It 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.

Oracle Taleo Cloud Service one of the Best
Excellent we recommend it.
Pros
Oracle 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.
Cons
Taleo is a system that manages talents, but lacks payroll control, occupational risk prevention, attendance control.

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.
Pros
Enjoyed 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.
Cons
There 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.

Taleo - old school HRIS
Unfortunately, Taleo did not work for our environment as our configuration was not suitable for our recruiting environment. It definitely can handle process and checks/balances in the recruiting workflow but wasn't very dynamic is storing/sorting/cultivating candidates.
Pros
Taleo is definitely geared to large enterprises with data storage needs. The integration with financial software is well established.
Cons
The architecture is very restrictive. The recruiting software isn't very configurable without patches that may nor may not work. Such a large system does not make changes/updates very often or quickly.

Functional ATS but not great
An expensive ATS used for larger more traditional companies. Personally, I won't recommend this product but it could be useful for some bare bones functionality.
Pros
-Lots of functionality
-Great for larger corporations
-Easy integration
-Database is extremely large so candidate information is easily accessible.
Cons
-Old! It seems my larger more established clients use Taleo and it's just an old ATS. The overall user experience is a bit dated and clunky. There is not much customization, if you have multiple clients utilizing your companies ATS it can get quite confusing.

One of the best and biggest recruitment providers around
Good product which is why it's one of the biggest and best
Pros
Complete talent management modules - succession planning, onboarding, compensation, performance management, learning management, goals management and development planning. Project implementation is super simple and initially easy
Cons
Questions about functionality, unusual requests or sometimes simple questions at all can be difficult to get answers fro from the vendor. Currently, there is no mobile support.

Tons a features - great for high level and lower views.
Pros
Taleo offers an insane amount of data at the fingertips of users. If the CEO wants a high level overview, he gets it. If HR need a different view, that's fine, too!
Cons
TOO much information can actually make the product clunky and a little difficult to use. It can be overwhelming VERY quickly.

Fairly good ux
Pros
From a candidate perspective it's easy to apply and track progress of an application. Taleo is huge so it's likely they will have engaged with the product before anyway. So despite the branding being different, the look and feel will be familiar to them.
Recruiters in the back end can also move people through workflows fairly easily and their experience can be tailored to something they are comfortable with.
Cons
Takes a long time to set up, the customer success team are excellent in helping you do this but it does require a strong knowledge of systems and tech to implement and run.

Easy to use but too pricey to be the best
Better value elsewhere if you don't need Oracle Software for recruiting
Pros
It 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!
Cons
The 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 enjoy using Taleo for its wealth of features, integrations and ease of use.
Pros
I enjoy the wealth of features and customizability. The paragraph customization is intuitive. Oracle customer support is responsive and knowledgeable.
Cons
A lack of training options for Connect Client have limited my ability to use it to its full potential. Some configuration menus are dense.

Taleo is a great talent acquisiton software. It isn't as flexible as some of the newer technology.
I don't know yet
Pros
I like the TCC use. Integrating between systems seems to be straightforward and user friendly most of the time.
Cons
Paying 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.

Using Taleo as an ATS for 1000+ Person Company
Pros
Taleo has a great candidate workflow, and requisition flow. It was easy to make sure candidates didn't fall through the cracks, and ensure Hiring Managers are in the loop. Integrating with external careers page was easy.
Cons
To create helpful reports in Taleo was not user friendly, unfortunately, it was pretty complicated to get the proper report without having to spend hours formatting it properly.

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.
Pros
In depth and very robust in functionality
Cons
Does not do a great job of grabbing correct data from uploaded resumes.

Oracle Enterprise
Overall, it does the job that's needed and has great bells and whistles. Just a few basic ones missing in my opinion.
Pros
Loved the ease of use for all users! Very easy to train new users and self explanatory as far as navigation.
Cons
Wish it had more reporting functions and capabilities. Most of our reporting is exporting and done through third party software.
