Kristina Needs a Job: Taleo- a love/hate relationship (mostly hate)
http://kristinaneedsajob.blogspot.com/2011/09/taleo-lovehate-relationship-mostly-hate.html
The perils of unemployment. Thursday, September 29, 2011. Taleo- a love/hate relationship (mostly hate). Taleo for many reasons, such as oodles of companies use them, they're good at implementing their software quickly ("100% implementation success"), it's cost effective ("With software as a service, there are no additional hardware or software required - just a web browser.").

Fear and Loathing After College. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Job Applications from Hell: Can Companies Please Cut the Paperwork and Toss Taleo Where it Belongs in the Trash? I am not adverse to a long, hard day's work, but some job applications are absolutely ridiculous! We're good, right? You'll thoroughly review my credentials and be in contact, correct?
