Optimal Taleo Settings

· 4 min read

Taleo is used for many organisations as its tool for managing job applications. These settings are Internet Explorer recommended settings for displaying Taleo with no problems.

Magnification​

The magnification level of your Internet browser must be set to 100%.

Using a setting other than 100% might produce less than optimal results depending on the Taleo product you are

using and the action you are performing. For this reason, 100% is the only recommended magnification level.
