Set up your Oracle Taleo integration

💡Why should I learn this? In just a few clicks, Hireguide integrates with Oracle Taleo to streamline your hiring workflow. Hireguide imports job, interview, and candidate details from Oracle Taleo and exports interview details for your candidates back to Oracle Taleo for a seamless hiring experience. 

Configure your Oracle Taleo account to connect Hireguide

Step 1: Create and approve a new User

• Create a Taleo User Account with Web Service permissions. If you don't have Web Service permissions enabled in Taleo, see the Enabling Taleo Web Service Framework

Step 2: Define User Type, User Group, and Coverage Area

User accounts are defined by system administrators in SmartOrg

• Navigation: Configuration > [SmartOrg] Administration > [Users] User Accounts.) When creating a user account, system administrators define several elements:
  • User Type (Recruiting)
  • User Group (Recruiting Center)
  • Coverage Area (Requisitions and Search)
  • General Preferences (can be modified by users in Taleo Recruiting, in the My Setup feature, to fit personal preferences)

Step 3: Configure access to endpoint fields

• The user must have access to specific endpoints in order to run an integration. See the list of endpoints here. 

Enter your Oracle Taleo Server URL and credentials in Hireguide

After configuring your Oracle Taleo account, sign into Hireguide

• In the navigation bar on the left side of your screen, click Settings > Workspace

• Find and select the ATS Integrations tab in the toolbar at the top of the page
• Click + Add Integration in the top right corner of the screen, and a modal will appear with a list of ATSs
• Find and select Oracle Taleo from the list

• Click Continue in the next modal to give Hireguide access to your Oracle Taleo company account
• Enter your Taleo Server URL when prompted in the next modal, and click Submit
• Enter your Taleo credentials in the next modal, and click Submit

That’s it! Hireguide will begin syncing with your ATS and may take a few hours to complete. Hireguide will send you an email when the integration is successful, and your ATS will appear in your Hireguide ATS Integrations page (see example below).
