Evaluating the viability of an integration with Taleo for an organization requires an awareness of what integrations are possible within Taleo. Nikki Bruner with Metaformers Inc. details the integrations selected by Erlanger Health System (EHS), the seventh largest public hospital in the United States. Bruner provides both an overview of EHS’s successful integration of Taleo Recruiting and Onboarding with their PeopleSoft Core HR System, as well as highly detailed lessons learned.

Key Takeaways From Lessons Learned 

• With two integration methods and countless solutions for working both within your base system and Taleo, integration options are expansive. With your organization’s priorities in mind, start simple with what will have the greatest impact and add the most value.

• EHS chose Job Template, Department, Employees and New Hire to integrate with PeopleSoft Core HCM with New Hires being the most common initial integration Bruner sees prioritized across her clients.

• Consider the benefits of Taleo Customer Connect (TCC). According to Bruner, many users lack their own development platform; and rather than procuring one, TCC can be used as such. TCC has multiple advantages to the user including its robustness, increased control and its “functional friendly”, intuitive appeal.
