Here's what to actually do about each."},flow:[{title:"You create an account on the employer's Taleo portal",body:"Taleo applications typically start with an employer-specific account and a multi-step form flow — it's the longest application experience of the major systems."},{title:"Your resume is parsed into form fields — imperfectly",body:"Taleo commonly pre-fills work history and education from your upload. Its parsing is older-generation, so complex layouts frequently come through garbled — and you're typically shown the fields to review and correct."},{title:"You answer screening questionnaires",body:"Employers commonly configure knockout questions (work authorization, minimum experience, certifications, willingness to relocate). Disqualifying answers are the classic source of fast automated rejections in enterprise hiring."},{title:"Recruiters search and filter the applicant pool",body:"Recruiters commonly work Taleo's applicant lists with keyword and field searches against the requisition's terms — which is why resumes that mirror the posting's exact vocabulary get surfaced and generic ones don't."}],myths:[{myth:"Taleo auto-rejects 75% of resumes before a human sees them.",reality:"That statistic circulates endlessly with no published source — Oracle doesn't publish rejection rates, and no verified documentation supports a built-in resume-scoring cutoff. The real, verifiable filters in Taleo-style flows are knockout questionnaire answers and recruiters' own keyword searches. Those are worth optimizing for; the 75% robot is folklore."},{myth:"Taleo only reads the top third of your resume.",reality:`There's no published basis for this. Parsing quality does vary with formatting — which is a reason to use simple, standard layouts throughout — but "only the top third counts" is superstition, not documentation.`},{myth:"Older system means keyword stuffing still works.",reality:"The parsed fields and the attached resume are both visible to the recruiters doing the searching. Stuffing reads as spam to exactly the person you're trying to reach; mirroring the requisition's real terms where they're true for you is the legitimate version."}],tips:[{title:"Correct every parsed field",body:"Assume Taleo's parsing got something wrong and review the pre-filled work history line by line.

Fast rejections in Taleo flows typically trace to knockout questionnaire answers. The practical takeaway is unchanged: parse cleanly, mirror the posting's keywords, answer screens accurately."},{question:"Why do Taleo applications take so long to fill out?",answer:"Taleo is an older enterprise system built around structured data entry per employer, with account creation and multi-step forms. The upside of the tedium: you get to review and correct the exact fields recruiters filter on."},{question:"Is this checker really free with no signup?",answer:"Yes.

A free account only adds extras: fixing every weak bullet with AI, tailoring to a specific job, and score history."},{question:"Is my resume uploaded or stored anywhere?",answer:"No. The scan is computed locally in your browser — your resume text is never uploaded, stored, or used for training.
