Has anyone had experience with Oracle ATS? I’m preparing for an interview with a company that uses it, but I’ve been in recruiting for over 20 years and haven’t encountered it before, which makes me a bit anxious. How does it compare to Workday, Taleo, and SuccessFactors? (I’ve ranked those three as the least favorable ATS I’ve worked with, from worst to least worst.) What are your thoughts?

I completely understand your concerns! Oracle ATS (Applicant Tracking System) can indeed be a bit intimidating if you haven’t used it before. Generally, it’s known for its robust features and integration capabilities, especially within organizations that already use Oracle’s other products.
In terms of user experience, opinions vary widely. Some recruiters find it more user-friendly than Taleo and SuccessFactors, while others feel it can be a bit cumbersome, especially if you’re used to more straightforward systems. One of the positives is its ability to handle large volumes of applications efficiently, which is a plus for high-volume recruiting.
Compared to Workday, Oracle ATS may not be as intuitive or seamless, but it does offer strong reporting and analytics features that some recruiters find beneficial. The learning curve may be steep at first, but once you get the hang of it, it can be quite powerful.
If you’re comfortable with adapting to new systems, you’ll likely manage just fine. It might help to familiarize yourself with any specific aspects or features of Oracle ATS before your interview. Best of luck with it!
