Configuring the Initial Site-Wide Elements

Watch this video for an introduction to building the career site using Career Site Builder.

To enable the initial settings in Career Site Builder (CSB), you need to access the Site Information page from Settings→Site Configuration→Site Information.

From the Site Information page, you can view the Site ID, Site Name, Company Name, and Site URL. See definitions for these fields in the Recruiting guide.

Watch this video for information on configuring and creating career site elements.

Once the career site is live in Production, it is never advised to make changes to these settings, especially the Site URL. If the Site URL must be changed after go-live, the change should be carried out by Professional Services. The customer should reach out to their SSEM. See additional information in this SAP Knowledge Base Article: Renaming RMK instances - Recruiting Marketing.

Next to the Site URL setting, choose Go to view the career site. If available, enter the customer’s IDs for Google and Bing.

Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics IDs can be enabled for all career site pages, including those that are administered in SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, such as the job application, candidate profile, login, and create an Account pages.

Entering a Google Tag Manager ID enables Google Tag Manager for the career site, but it does not manage the tags or perform any analysis or reporting. If the ID is obtained from Google and added in this field, Career Site Builder incorporates the necessary code in the career site for the customer to use Google Tag Manager.

Leading practice is to allow the customer to know if the candidate actually applied after viewing the page in the Career Site Builder career site; for example:

• Enabling Use Google Tag Manager in Career Site Wrapper adds Google Tag Manager to all of the pages that use the career site wrapper (for example, the Candidate Profile page).

• When you provide the Google Analytics ID, enabling Use Google Analytics in Career Site Wrapper adds Google Analytics to all the pages that use the career site wrapper (for example, the Candidate Profile page).

Google has replaced Universal Analytics with Google Analytics 4. Career Site Builder administrators need to provide the Google Analytics 4 ID to continue getting analytics data. Career Site Builder will not generate errors if a new ID is not provided.

If available, enter the customer's webmaster IDs for Google and Bing. Read about your responsibility to deliver sitemap links later in this course. Learn more about metadata in the Career Site Design unit.

The optional Use Redirect feature allows your customer’s domain to redirect, preserving the full URL (including URL parameters) from the redirection URL to the site URL, without changing any HTML. For example, you can redirect careers.company.com to jobs.company.com with this feature.

Candidate Relationship Management is enabled on the Site Information page, and the Candidate Relationship Management Customer ID is displayed here.

The other fields on the Site Information page are covered in other units.

You enable global settings to control elements on a site-wide basis.

Global Settings: Configuration

Using the Career Site Builder, you can update the site-wide configuration using the Global Settings and Global Styles, located under Appearance. These settings control site-wide elements such as headers, footers, button colors, and more. Here, you can also adjust settings that control how the career site displays. For example, you can set the Content Display to full so that all page components are expanded to fill the full width of the page display.

Additional site-wide settings are located under Tools, Settings, Layouts, and other menus.

See the Setting Up and Maintaining SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting guide on the SAP Help Portal for additional descriptions not included in this course.

Site Menu

From the site menu, you can adjust font settings.

Note

Select the site-wide font before creating pages on the career site.

If you need to change the font after building the site, you will need to replace the font in each individual page component.

Rather than using the Padding options located on this page, spacing around individual components is now managed by using Enable Spacing Control, configured at the component level. See more information in the Pages and Components unit.

• Changes to certain global settings, such as the Site URL, should be avoided after a site is live. Administrators should use the Site Information page to manage domain redirects and Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager tracking IDs.
• Site-wide colors, background images, and brand settings within the Appearance menu should be configured for the Default Brand first, ensuring the primary design is established before duplicating it for other locales.
• Primary settings such as fonts should be configured before building pages to prevent manual updates.
• The system allows users to save work as a draft for internal review or publish it to the live site, with the ability to store and revert to any of the last ten published versions.
