In the quest of revolutionizing talent acquisition – Taleo has simply been a warhorse. It continues to help employers discover the right candidates while transcending through multiple channels and configurations for specific hiring needs. However, the next generation and cloud-native choice is Oracle Recruiting Cloud (ORC), which is part of the integrated Oracle HCM platform.
While serving Taleo to Oracle Recruiting Cloud migration services to our clients, my team at Infolob has run many proofs of concepts that establish ORC as an innovative, comprehensive, efficient, secure option, and seamlessly integrated option. We have also identified some other primary triggers of Taleo to ORC migration among the enterprise customers we have engaged with:
Oracle Recruiting Cloud is the next-level recruiting module that replaces Taleo and comes pre-integrated with Oracle Cloud HCM. Available from release 18B in Oracle Cloud HCM – it is ready to set the benchmark for an all-inclusive HCM experience built for the future. And although countless customers are currently leveraging Taleo—aka “Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud” or “OTAC”—should make the transition to ORC right off – it is always advisable to do all the ‘due diligence’, marked by determining the right time to make the move while considering all the pros and cons of the new generation of talent acquisition capabilities in Oracle Cloud HCM.
