Exploring Key Elements and Integration

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to describe key elements and integration points.

Key Elements

These additional components are included in the Candidate Experience solution:

Talent Community/Create an Account

No more "Apply or Goodbye." While your ultimate goal is to get completed applications from qualified candidates, we know that only a small percentage of career site visitors apply to a job during their first visit. How do you stay in contact with passive candidates? Your career site includes a link that invites prospects to join the Talent Community (Create an Account).

Passive candidates simply opt in to your Talent Community without applying and are kept apprised of jobs matching their interests. The Talent Community allows recruiters to continue to engage passively interested candidates.

Mobile Apply

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting customers who have a Career Site Builder site can take advantage of functionality that allows candidates to complete the entire apply process and manage their profile from a mobile device. They experience a seamless flow from Visit through Apply, with the Profile and Application consolidated into a single page. Mobile Apply is standard with Career Site Builder sites.

Job Distribution

Through job distribution services, your jobs are visible in the places where your ideal candidates are spending time. While certain deliveries are part of the platform, such as search engines, social media networks, and aggregators, there are additional options to explore, including automated XML feeds or "Pick & Post" with Recruiting Posting. These options allow customers to recruit more effectively by making candidate and job board interactions easier.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Candidates often go to search engines first to search for jobs. Job searches launched from a search engine are typically focused on the job and location, such as Sales jobs in Denver or Developer jobs in Singapore.

Typically, Google and other search engines cannot find jobs located in an ATS because the information is not published to be search engine-optimized. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting turns every job listing into a search engine-friendly page using SEO, so job seekers searching online can find your jobs.

Items Included in Standard Base Scope

A standard Recruiting statement of work (SOW) includes the following. (Note that this is only a partial listing from the SOW. The Standard Base Scope for Recruiting SOWs may be changed at any time.)

Items Not Included in Standard Base Scope

The following implementation tasks are not included in the base scope:

*For functionality that the customer has access to, for example, under Admin Center and Career Site Builder admin, the consultant will enable the feature and provide knowledge transfer to the customer.

The Unified Data Model

For customers planning a career site with Career Site Builder, it is strongly encouraged that their environment is enabled with the Career Site Builder Unified Data Model. The Unified Data Model combines indexes and data between Recruiting and Career Site Builder to provide the enhanced career site functionality:

  • A modern, consumer-grade search experience for candidates, including customizable faceting and filtering
  • Improved location searching, including searching by neighborhood, metro area, region of the country, and more, for example: Midtown Manhattan
  • All job requisition properties are directly configurable within Career Site Builder. For example, you can use any field on the requisition to filter job searches, format job pages, create category page rules, etc.
  • Improved support for non-English languages

Functionality provided from the Unified Data Model also applies to internal career sites powered by Career Site Builder. Existing Recruiting customers can enable the Unified Data Model within Career Site Builder after configuring some brand and location objects and running migration tasks in Admin Center. See the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Advanced Academy (THR83) course for details.

AI-Assisted Applicant Screening and Job Skills for Career Site Builder

SAP Business AI provides multiple use cases for SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting, increasing recruiter efficiency and satisfaction with the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting solution. When using Career Site Builder, recruiters can take advantage of the AI-assisted applicant screening feature.

Introducing AI-assisted applicant screening into the screening process of candidates allows recruiters to quickly identify top talent. This AI feature assists recruiters with resume and application screening, providing them with insight into how well a candidate meets the skills requirements of a job requisition.

When creating the job requisition, the recruiter can use AI to identify and extract the skills from the job description. Additionally, recruiters can add additional skills if necessary. These skills will be used during the job discovery and the skills validation processes of the AI-Assisted Skills Matching feature.

Candidates can then search for jobs by uploading their resume in the Career Site Builder career site, and AI will match them to posted jobs that match their skills.

This video provides more information about the AI-assisted applicant screening features.

Integration Across Recruiting

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting (the ATS) supports opening job requisitions, processing candidate applications, conducting interviews and other assessments, selecting the best candidate for a position, and the offer process.

Recruiting customers can take advantage of a number of additional features:

  • Real Time Job Sync: Enables jobs posted externally in SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting to be sent to the Career Site Builder site in real time.
  • Mobile Apply: Allows candidates to complete the entire application process from their mobile device.
  • Social Apply: Allows candidates to populate fields during the application process from their LinkedIn or XING accounts.
  • Candidate Account Simplification: Provides a single point of access for candidates to manage their accounts across SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting.
  • Recruiter Single Sign On: Recruiter Single Sign On (Recruiter SSO) is a prerequisite for accessing Career Site Builder or Advanced Analytics.
  • Source Report and Source Tracker: The source report displays the top 10 sources for visitors, members, and applications begun during a particular time period. The source tracker allows recruiters to add a tracking link before manually posting jobs online.
  • Recruiting Posting: Enables recruiting users to seamlessly distribute jobs to supported job boards and social networks, and enables tracking.
  • Candidate Relationship Management: Candidate Relationship Management provides recruiters with greater versatility in managing candidate relationships. Potential candidates can complete a data capture form on customized landing pages. That information is added to their Candidate Profile and can be used to add them to specific talent pools. Candidate Relationship Management email campaigns enable recruiters to send bulk email campaigns with high deliverability.

Did you know that you can use other ATSs with Career Site Builder sites in addition to the ATS provided by SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting? Jobs from third-party ATSs can be displayed on the CSB career site. Be aware that Career Site Builder can connect to only one ATS instance, and only data from SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting (not third-party ATSs) can be used in Advanced Analytics. Candidate Account Simplification and Real-Time Job Sync are required.

Summary

  • Talent Community and Mobile Apply enable engagement with passive candidates and seamless mobile application experiences.
  • Career Site Builder includes responsive design, SEO optimization, and AI-assisted applicant screening to match candidates with relevant jobs.
  • The Unified Data Model enhances search functionality with customizable filtering and improved location-based job discovery.
  • Job Distribution and Recruiting Posting extend job visibility across search engines, social media, and job boards.
