Seth - exactly! :) We finally upgraded to LinkedIn Recruiter seats which can function (sort of) as a CRM... I've since left the company that was having this issue, but I don't know that anything's changed. Good old Taleo...

Or should we say Oracle now...since that blackhole sucked up Taleo.  Service has fallen so far...I just found out they didn't process my payment for renewal, 7 months ago.  Seriously, how do you not process a 5 figure payment and not say anything to me...

Not sure it will do excatly what you want but look up a product called telemetry. One of our known colleagues  Matt Charney went to work for them and he asked me to take a look @ it. This particular product, I thought was interesting and may be a new niche within the ATS market. especially for firms that already spent buko bucks on Taleo/Oracle/SAP etc, ( Since in my experience most ATS fall into 2 categories, suck bad and suck less.

So from what I saw it is NOT an ATS. It sits 'on top' of your ats. totally boolean searchable, let's you link up with your linkedIn, Monster, CB and other accounts. you can search on any/all of them. And from what I recall you can schedule and do a lot w/ it.

Hi Amy,

Are you using any of the LinkedIn Recruiter corporate products?
They have a neat add on that is called Pipeline that could be used in the manner you seek.
Sadly....its only "free" if you have LIR. 

Google Drive may be an easier way to share spreadsheets as you can access Drive from any location. 

Then there are the trusty 3 x 5 index cards of "stars" that I keep with me at all times.

Hey Daren! :) this discussion has had some new life breathed into it! :)

I haven't played around w/ Pipeline yet, I have LinkedIn Recruiter at my new job too though. I like it. But yes - there is no substitute for a good old fashioned rolodex, Michael Scott style, right? :)

In the same boat with OLD Taleo enterprise edition.  You may be able to use this work around if you want to mass upload resumes.  Double check with your admin that your system is set-up to handle imported resumes via email and that they will not receive an auto email as an "applicant" per EEO.

Clients must use the following email address with the resume parsing via email feature: 
zonename@resumeparsing.taleo.net

where “zonename” represents the name of the client’s zone.

Personally I now use LI Recruiter as my CRM.  I've used and tested many CRMs but the manual nature of the data entry was not efficient enough to scale properly.  It can easily import contacts and resumes for tracking.   It is far from ideal from a cost perspective, but it does avoid the issue of redundant data entry.
