ORACLE TALENT ACQUISITION CLOUD

Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud family of products drives effective talent acquisition within the modern
enterprise. The cloud solution enables scalable approval and management of job requisitions, superior
candidate experience (sourcing and branding of modern career sites, relationship management, and job
application), candidate selection workflow (qualification, evaluation, and interview), job offer, and
employee onboarding.
Oracle continues its ongoing investments around intuitive user experience for external and internal
candidates, recruiters, hiring managers, and HR administrators. This includes development of core areas
such as modern interfaces with multi-device support, configurable decision and approval workflow
processes, actionable business insights and reporting, tighter integration with other HCM functions, and
adherence to hiring compliance rules.
