You're not alone. I have never even had an interview from any company using Taleo, despite being qualified for the positions applied for. Their application flow sucks and is a joke. I figure I'm just blacklisted or something.

The thing many people don’t realize is many companies post jobs just to say they did when they already know they’re going to hire/promote from within. They usually know exactly the person they want to place in the role. Even just internally allowing things to be open for application/interview avoids a lot of issues where person A gets a promotion but that person B felt entitled to. Most of the jobs you see on many boards are not actively looking for candidates.
