What 173 Arbolus experts think of Taleo

NPS results trend positive, with the majority of scores ranging between 7 and 10, and strong renewal intent notably when Taleo is natively integrated with Oracle HCM. Stickiness is highest among customers in the 'more than 1 year' implementation stage, reflecting deep process adoption and compliance integration. Expert themes emphasize trust in compliance, risk management, and workflow control, but also highlight concerns about user experience, need for modern AI, and upcoming forced Oracle Recruiting Cloud migration. A small portion of responses reflect hesitancy, with some expressing intent to offboard due to dissatisfaction with UX and technology modernization.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
