Oracle, LinkedIn announce collaboration

Oracle and LinkedIn on Wednesday announced joining hands to help HR professionals meet the shifting demands of the talent economy.

A series of new integrations between Oracle’s Human Capital Management Cloud (Oracle HCM Cloud) and Taleo Enterprise Edition, and LinkedIn, will help HR teams attract, engage and retain employees by growing their talent pool, improving the candidate experience, enhancing internal mobility and increasing career development opportunities.

Commenting on the development, LinkedIn Business Development Vice President Scott Roberts said the world of work is rapidly changing, and this is creating new opportunities and challenges for talent leaders.

"We are excited to be working with Oracle to create better solutions to make hiring and developing talent as seamless and effective as possible," he said.

Oracle Product Development Group Vice President Nagaraj Nadendla said the rapidly changing global talent market is forcing organisations across industries to rethink how they attract, engage and retain employees.

"Navigating these changes is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today and requires HR teams to take a holistic view of the candidate and employee experience. Working closely with LinkedIn, we are uniquely placed to help HR teams meet heightened candidate and employee expectations by combining future-proofed Oracle HCM Cloud and Taleo Enterprise platforms with one of the world’s largest talent marketplaces," he said.

The new integrations between Oracle HCM Cloud and LinkedIn include talent profile import, recommended matches and embedded search, referral recommendations, recruiter system connect and deeper integration with Oracle Learning Cloud.
