Configuring Microsites for Branded Sites

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure microsites for branded sites.

Microsites

When configuring CSB, mobile apply must be enabled because it enables the career site wrapper. When brands are enabled, a microsite must be created for each brand so that the brand experience is maintained for candidates when they apply for jobs within brands. Job branding (colors, logos, header and footer) is consistent across SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting when you associate microsites with brands. This allows a user to view a job on the Career Site Builder career site and maintain the brand experience.

The microsite displays the brand logo in the career site wrapper on the Create an Account and candidate profile pages in Recruiting. Accordion and button colors can also be configured in microsites.

Set up a microsite ID for each brand. Otherwise, the candidate is reverted back to the main brand when they apply.

The brands control the accordion colors during the application process:

Accordion and button color (navigation background color)
Accordion hover color (navigation hover color) (shown at the top of the screen captures)
Text on accordion (navigation menu text color)

Configure a Microsite with a Theme and Assign to a Brand

This video provides a demonstration of how to create a microsite and theme and assign it to a brand in Career Site Builder.

Business Example

Create a microsite and theme for the Red brand in SAP SuccessFactors Human Capital Management (HCM) and associate it with the Red Brand in Career Site Builder.

Note

For customers who use brands, microsites can be created to maintain the brand experience, such as colors, logos, and headers and footers.

Log in to your SAP SuccessFactors Human Capital Management (HCM) instance as the admin.
Navigate to Admin Center→Manage Recruiting Sites.
Click Take Action to edit the default site, External Career Site.
1. Change the Name of Site to Best Run Career Site.
2. Ensure that it is Active and enabled as the Default Site.
3. Save.
4. Near the top of the page, choose Manage Recruiting Sites.
Choose Create New Site.
On the row for the New site, click Take Action→Edit.
1. Name the site Red Brand.
2. In the Site Landing Page box, enter Red Brand.
3. Save.
4. Near the top of the page, choose Manage Recruiting Sites.
Choose Manage Recruiting Site Themes.
Hover over the theme name that is visible to the Best Run Career Site and click Duplicate.

Task 2: Associate the Microsite with Brands

Steps

From Admin Center→Manage Recruiting Sites, for the Red Brand, choose Take Action→Edit.
From the Site URL, copy the information AFTER "&site=".
In Career Site Builder, navigate to Tools→Brand Management.
To edit the Red brand, choose the pencil button for the Red row.
In the box for Microsite Id, enter the information you copied from Manage Recruiting Sites and choose Update.
Choose Save.

Task 3: Test

Steps

From your Best Run career site, navigate to a job under the Red brand (from the Three Column component, for example).
Open the job and apply for it. Confirm that the colors are as expected.

Summary

Mobile Apply must be enabled in CSB because it enables the career site wrapper used during the application process.
When brands are enabled, you should create a Recruiting Management microsite for each brand to keep the candidate in the correct brand experience (logo, colors, header/footer) while applying; otherwise, candidates revert to the main brand.
Microsite themes control application UI styling, including navigation/accordion and button colors, hover color, and text color; the brand logo appears on Create Account and candidate profile pages.
Setup flow: Create a new recruiting site and theme in Admin Center (Manage Recruiting Sites/Themes), then copy the Microsite ID from the site URL and associate it to the brand in CSB (Tools → Brand Management), and test by applying to a branded job.
