6 reasons to move from Taleo to Oracle Recruiting
Feb. 25, 2020 · Authored by Michael Windham, Courtney Mecikalski
Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud (OTAC), also known as Taleo, has long been considered an industry leader in the Talent Acquisition market. However, for Taleo clients that have implemented Oracle HCM Cloud Core HR, there is now an attractive alternative. Oracle Recruiting is the recruiting module within the Oracle HCM Cloud suite. Released in June of 2018, Oracle Recruiting was built organically in the Oracle Cloud and is the type of innovation that will enable organizations to bring key business functionality onto the same platform as your Oracle HCM Cloud.
Oracle Recruiting provides a seamlessly integrated solution for sourcing, recruiting and onboarding, and delivers distinct benefits and returns when compared to the previous standalone Taleo offering. Here are 6 of the highest value benefits our clients are realizing now:
- Better data quality/reduced integrations – With Oracle Recruiting, the number of integrations needed to maintain the system decreases dramatically - integrations for foundational data (organization, location, and job function), requisition templates, position/job details, employees and internal candidates, as well as new hires, are no longer needed. With all data on a single platform and the capability to leverage configuration from other HCM modules including organizations, jobs, positions, work locations, geographies and more, the latest data available to the business can be leveraged immediately in the recruiting process. This reduces the number of costly data errors that may arise throughout the recruiting, hiring and onboarding processes.
- Integrated reporting – With Oracle Recruiting, organizations now have the ability to have all available HR data housed within one reporting tool. No need to export information to a data warehouse or other cloud solutions. Reports can seamlessly include data across different functional HR areas. The business challenges that can be solved with integrated reporting are numerous – combine recruiting data and performance records to help make more strategic business decisions around hiring practices to identify top talent or link job openings to talent profiles and key competencies to identify internal talent, to name a few.
- One HR platform – Within HCM Cloud, employees will now have one location to go to for all HR self-service activities. In addition to submitting a time sheet or updating their address, employees can now search for open jobs or review a job offer within the "Me" tab. The manager experience is enhanced as well – one single manager self-service interface drives adoption, satisfaction and most importantly, enhances managerial decision-making when it comes to identifying quality new-hires.
