Creating and Updating Category Pages

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create and update Category pages.

Category Pages

Category pages allow customers to create special pages on their career site that display jobs based on keyword, location, or other information that helps refine the list of jobs.

Category pages are typically used to highlight hard-to-fill and high volume positions. Customers often label these pages as "Featured Jobs", "Career Opportunities", or similar. Category pages can represent job categories, brands, locations, remote jobs, and so on. As with other pages in Career Site Builder, you can configure different versions by locale and brand. The instructions in this course assume that the Unified Data Model is enabled, so all fields on the job requisition template are available to use for filtering.

Jobs can be listed on category pages based on multiple filters. For example, instead of displaying all available consulting jobs on a category page, you can restrict the listings to just those consulting jobs that are located in California or New York.

Category Page Leading Practices

Leading practices for constructing category pages include:

Each category page uses the same layout, though different components can be used for different category pages. It is also leading practice for the customer to provide unique copy (text) and an image or video for each category page to highlight the jobs for which they are advertising.
Limit the amount of content at the top of category pages to reduce the amount of scrolling applicants have to do to reach the job table.
Category pages should be titled by Category + Jobs (or Careers) for best SEO value. Examples include the following: Operations Jobs, Marketing Jobs, Sales Careers.
Category page titles should use whole words, no acronyms, and should contain words that make sense to an outside candidate. For example, PM Jobs would not be a good category page title; instead, use Project Manager Jobs. This explains what the job is about to someone who may not know what PM stands for.
Jobs can and often do belong to more than one category, and can fall on more than one category page.

Category Page Creation

Within CSB, navigate to Pages→Category and select Add from the gear icon.
On the Create New Category page, enter the category name (including Jobs or Careers), and select the Locale, and Brand, if applicable.
From the Component Layout tab, add and configure components as usual.
From the Job List tab, categories can be defined using filters, as shown below.
In this example, all jobs in the Engineering Division are included in the category.
Note: This is the same Add Filter button used to define the rules for job layouts and landing page job alerts. Multiple values can be selected for each field used to define the category, and you can select multiple fields by clicking the Add Filter tab again.
After defining the category page, open the Details tab and enable it (Active = YES).

Alternatively, categories can be defined using the Keyword and Location boxes, as shown below. In this example, all jobs with the word Manager in the job title are included in the category.
