How to Format Your Resume for Taleo

Taleo is one of the older enterprise systems and is less forgiving of complex formatting. Tables, columns, and graphics are more likely to parse poorly, so simplicity wins.

Keep it simple

One column, standard headings, a text-based file, and a common font. Avoid tables, text boxes, and images for anything that matters.

Use the posting's exact terms

Taleo environments tend to rely on keyword matching, so use the posting's exact terms for your real skills. RoleLight checks your resume against the posting and lists missing keywords, free, before you submit into a strict parser.
