Oracle Taleo Documentation

If you have been working with Oracle software products over the years you have likely experienced the frustration of links to the documentation for your platform moving overtime and from version to version. In our case, it is the Oracle Taleo documentation that we are searching for. We try and keep this page up to date with the specific links to the Taleo documentation.

Here Are The Specific Taleo Links

This takes you to an Oracle Support page with all the jump links to all the Taleo documentation:

https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/SearchDocDisplay?_adf.ctrl-state=lf1g7fnpd_4&_afrLoop=206043035670239#aref_section21

This link will get you to all the PDF versions of the Taleo user and implementation guides. I think this is the most useful. I prefer the PDF versions rather than many of the links on the support site that take you to their online version (which does not include the elusive career section configuration manual).

Some of the cons of the Oracle Taleo documentation include:

  1. Complexity: The documentation for Taleo can be complex and technical, which may make it difficult for some users to understand and follow.
  2. Outdated Information: As the software evolves, the documentation may not always be updated in a timely manner, leading to confusion or frustration among users.
  3. Inadequate Search Functionality: The search functionality within the documentation may not be comprehensive, making it difficult to find the information you need.
  4. Lack of User-Friendly Format: The documentation may not be presented in a user-friendly format, which can make it challenging to navigate and understand. They rarely put any screenshots in the documentation. It is very text heavy
  5. Limited Availability of Video Tutorials: There may be limited availability of video tutorials or other visual aids to help users understand the software and its features.

Some of the pros of the Oracle Taleo documentation include:

  1. Detailed Information: The documentation provides extensive and detailed information on the software, its features, and how to use them (they would be better with more images and screenshots).
  2. Wide Range of Resources: The documentation for Taleo is just one of several resources available to users, including online forums, support sites, and live support options.
  3. Multiple Languages: The documentation is available in multiple languages, making it accessible to a wider range of users.
