Search Results page

The Search Results page, located under Layouts, contains three tabs. From the General tab, enable the Branded Search Form to give the Search Bar the visual appearance of the branded career site. Also choose whether a search produces results from all brands or just results from the brand the user is currently viewing. This is also where you enable the location search on the search bar, if you are translating job requisitions.

Search Results: AI Assisted Skills

Using SAP SuccessFactors Career Site Builder and SAP Business AI, the job search experience for candidates is transforming the way candidates can find jobs. Using the AI assisted skills matching for candidate resumes and job skills on the career site, candidates can be matched to the available posted jobs that perfectly suit the skills identified on their resume.

The AI-Assisted Skills Matching for Resume feature can be enabled within the Search Results configuration.

AI Assisted Skills Settings in Search Results

Prerequisites

  • The Unified Data Model is enabled.
  • Enable the Assisted Job Skills for Career Site builder on the AI Services Administration page.
  • The Extract Skills from Job Description using AI scheduled job has successfully ran (if the customer has existing active job postings on their career site).

When the AI-Assisted Skills Matching for Resumes feature is enabled, the search results page on career sites displays the option to upload a resume. You have the option to present the candidate with a data privacy consent statement (DPCS) before they upload it. After they accept the DPCS and upload their resume, we use AI to analyze the resume and identify their skills. Then, we recommend jobs that match their skills.

The Upload Resume component provides a visually striking way to encourage candidates to search for jobs using their resume. This component can be added to the home page of the career site, enabling job-seekers to find jobs that match their skills.

The Upload Resume component is a banner that spans the width of the page and includes a wide range of branding and layout options, including

  • Image
  • Text Box
  • Background color
  • 5 possible layouts

All layouts include the Upload Resume, which candidates can use to open the Skills Matching window and upload a resume, just as they can on the search result page.
