Taleo Data Migration: How to Move Your Taleo Enterprise Data to a New ATS or Data Warehouse

If you are leaving Taleo, two things have to happen. Your active data — open job openings, candidate records, and attachments such as resumes, certifications and offer letters — has to land in your new ATS with candidates still mapped to their job openings, so recruiters are productive on day one. And your historical data has to survive in a form that can answer an OFCCP audit, an EEO report or a lawsuit years later.

Flexspring extracts both. The experts at Flexspring created some of the original data integration tools and data extraction schema for Taleo while working at Oracle, and organize the extract into roughly 50 clear tables rather than the 1,500-plus of a standard Oracle data dump. Extraction and migration take 4–8 weeks, depending on your availability and the volume of data. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my data out of Taleo Enterprise Edition?

With data integration, active job openings, candidate records and attachments extract from Taleo Enterprise Edition into your new ATS, with candidates still mapped to their job openings, and all closed and active recruiting and onboarding data extracts into a user-friendly data warehouse for reporting. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How does a Taleo data migration work?

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. Flexspring organizes the extract into roughly 50 clear tables, rather than the 1,500-plus tables of a standard Oracle data dump, and unpacks attachments so they stay usable.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, active job openings, candidate data and attachments — resumes, certifications and offer letters — move into your new ATS, with candidates mapped to their job openings. Into a data warehouse, all closed and active job openings, candidates, candidate-to-job mappings, and recruiting and onboarding attachments including tax and policy PDF forms are extracted. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks, and assessments.

How long does the integration take?

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. Extraction and migration are fully deployed in 4–8 weeks, depending on your availability and the volume of data that has to be processed. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

Why migrate your Taleo data to a new ATS or data warehouse?

With data integration, your active job openings, candidate records and attachments land in your new ATS with candidates still mapped to their job openings, so recruiters are productive on day one, and your historical data survives in a form that can answer an OFCCP audit, an EEO report or a lawsuit years later.

What’s the best way to migrate Taleo Enterprise Edition data to a new ATS?

The best way to connect Taleo Enterprise Edition to a new ATS depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
