Mapping Recruiting Job Data

Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Describe Real Time Job Sync and other job collection methods.
  • Identify leading practices for job data mapping for Real Time Job Sync.

Real Time Job Sync

Using Real Time Job Sync (RTJS), jobs posted externally in SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting ("Corporate Posting" on the Job Postings page) are sent to Career Site Builder in near real time. Usually, this process happens in under a minute, but depending on the time of day, it can take up to 20 minutes. The Recruiting ATS also sends job detail updates and jobs deletes to the CSB career site.

Leading Practices for Job Data Mapping

Before posting jobs for career sites built with Career Site Builder, fields on the job requisition template will need to be mapped to fields on the career site for every job requisition template. Refer to this table in the Recruiting guide for details: Mapping RMK fields to RCM fields for Real Time Job Sync.

Your system administrator or consultant completes the mapping under Admin CenterSetup Recruiting Marketing Job Field Mapping. Permission will need to be granted under Manage Recruiting.

Only minimal fields are required for Real Time Job Sync to function; however, all other fields are recommended in order to ensure full functionality of an integrated SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting instance. These fields are used by Advanced Analytics, distribution to job boards, and for rule-writing on pages.

Custom fields in SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting can be mapped to Career Site Builder, as long as they have a data type of text or picklist on the job requisition.

If a job doesn’t contain a job description, it will not sync. When mapping job descriptions, always choose Full External Job Description (header, description and footer), so the complete content of the headers and footers are transmitted. This is especially important for customers using Job Profile Builder since the job description becomes the header file in the Recruiting system.

Customers categorize their jobs to post to job boards, to create category rules for the Career Site Builder site, and so on. The training job requisition does not contain a category field, so customers often use the department or function (dept) fields for this purpose. Be sure to map the requisition field used for categorizing jobs to the RMK Category field. If a second field is included on the requisition for categorization purposes (such as the dept field), map it to the RMK Department field.

Sample Job Data Mapping

This example displays the use of the Job Location Generic Object for the City, State, Country/Region, and Postal/Zip Code fields. Note that the Brand field is mapped after brands are created in Career Site Builder.

Sync Existing Posted Jobs

After completing the mapping, a full feed must be run at go-live in order to sync the existing posted jobs. The sync job will be defined by your consultant using the Job Scheduler in Provisioning.
