Describing Internal Career Site

Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
  • List the prerequisites for configuring the Internal Career Site.
  • Describe how internals can access the Internal Career Site, search for jobs, and view content.

Internal Career Site Overview

Internal candidates now have the same branded and mobile optimized experience that is provided to external candidates in a single, consistent career site.

Prerequisites for Internal Career Site

These prerequisites must be placed to implement Internal Career Site:

  • All of the Recruiting integrations have been configured, including Candidate Account Simplification, Recruiter Single Sign-On, and Real Time Job Sync
  • A Career Site Builder site
  • Mobile Apply
  • The SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service (IAS) is enabled for the SAP SuccessFactors system (Platform), and for SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting. See more information on IAS below

Internal Employee Access and Content

Internal employees can access the career site from the Careers link in the main navigation menu, or they can access the company’s career site directly and log in as an employee.

After logging in using IAS single sign-on, three options appear under My Account:

  • View Profile
  • Employee Home
  • Log Out

When using the Internal Career Site, customers have the ability to add employee-specific content to their career site. The CSB page components can be flagged as Internal, External, or both.

The Subscribe component in CSB is specifically for external candidates, so the site may look like this for external candidates:

And the site geared for internal candidates may look like this:

Internal candidates have access to internal job postings. Jobs will need to be posted internally for internal candidates to access them.

For customers who use employee referral, Refer a Friend to Job is now available on the internal career site. This functionality honors the existing employee referral configuration in Admin Center and works the exact same as the current Refer a Job to Friend functionality on the original internal career site.

SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Service (IAS)

IAS is required so that an internal candidate can be identified as an employee and be able to access the elements of the site that are available to employees.

IAS must first be enabled and configured for the customer in SAP SuccessFactors Platform. As of Q2 2019, the Platform setup for customer instances has been streamlined. Configuration is also required in Provisioning.

A SAML 2.0 identity provider for single sign-on helps in creating and managing identity information along with providing authentication services. Recruiting uses IAS for this purpose. The authentication single sign-on service of IAS helps candidates to navigate back and forth across the SAP SuccessFactors system and the Recruiting Career Site seamlessly, and allows them access to employee specific information, such as internal job postings.

After IAS has been configured the SAP SuccessFactors system (Platform), it must be followed with the Recruiting specific configuration. The Recruiting integration with IAS is now available via the Upgrade Center. Please see the Recruiting guide for instructions.
