Explaining the Other Core Components for Career Site Builder

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to optimize career site functionalities with core components integration.

Talent Community

  • 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 for a job during their first visit. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting also allows you to stay in contact with passive candidates.
  • When Candidate Relationship Management is enabled, potential candidates can complete a data capture form on your CSB career site to create an account (Candidate Profile). They can also upload a resume using the form. Talent Pools can be created to group potential candidates who may be suited to various job opportunities.
This screenshot shows an example of an option to engage passive candidates on a CSB site.

Create an Account

  • When a candidate clicks to join the Talent Community, or when they click Apply Now, they are directed to login or complete the Create an Account page.
  • This begins the candidate’s profile in Recruiting, and this information is automatically updated in the Recruiting database.

Note

Additional fields cannot be added to this form.
This screenshot shows the Create an Account page shown when a user joins the Talent Community.

Job Alerts

  • Job Alerts are added automatically, depending on where the candidate navigates. For example, if a candidate is on the Engineering Jobs page, they will receive alerts related to that type of position.
  • Job Alerts can be added or updated from the Candidate Profile page under the Options menu.
This screenshot shows the Options menu with Job Alerts and the Job Alerts UI.

Advanced Analytics

Advanced Analytics combines the data across SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting to create full line-of-sight data from a candidate’s first visit to their eventual hire. Customers can view their recruiting data across sources, locations, dates, job categories, etc.

This screenshot shows the Advanced Analytics page in Recruiting.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

  • Job seekers often begin their job search using a search engine. One goal of Career Site Builder is to enhance Search Engine Optimization (SEO) so that our customers’ career sites appear in the search results.
  • Some of the Career Site SEO capabilities:
    • Crawler-friendly – Most Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) s have their career information trapped behind drop-down menus, and search engines can’t index the information, so the sites do not appear in search results. Career Site Builder produces search engine-friendly sites.
    • Daily sitemap updates – When nightly maintenance is run, sitemaps are updated with any changes to job collections.
    • Category pages – Building SEO value for a page takes time, and job postings aren’t typically available long enough to be highly ranked in search engine results. But Category pages create lasting SEO value.

Candidate Relationship Management

  • Candidate Relationship Management provides recruiters greater versatility in managing candidate relationships. Rather than sourcing from scratch for each job, recruiters have the data to nurture passive candidates, which can reduce the cost per hire and time to fill.
  • All candidate data is housed in one place: the Candidate Profile. From the Profile, recruiters can review the candidate’s qualifications, view their skills and work history, see which jobs they have applied to, send email and review email already delivered, add the candidate to a Talent Pool, send Email Campaigns, and more.
  • Talent Pools are created to group candidates who may be suited to specific positions.
  • Targeted Email Campaigns can be sent to an entire talent pool.

Job Distribution

  • Through job distribution services, your jobs are visible in the places where your ideal candidates are spending time.
  • While certain deliveries come as part of the platform, such as search engines, social media networks, and aggregators, there are additional options to explore with automated XML feeds or Pick & Post using Recruiting Posting. These options allow customers to recruit better because they make candidate and job board interaction easy and assure accurate source tracking in Advanced Analytics.

Job Distribution Options

Recruiting Posting

  • Enables Recruiting customers to send individual jobs on thousands of job boards and universities.
  • Allows job creation and delivery within a centralized job management system from start to finish.
  • Initiates the capture of a job URL with the ability to deliver candidates to the proper Recruiting apply process.
  • USER ACTION BASED ON EXACT INVENTORY & PERMISSIONS.
  • Requires contract/credentials with job boards & schools.
  • ONE job to MANY job boards.

XML Feeds

  • Automated and intelligent routing of jobs to a specific job board based upon all available jobs (standard) or filtered positions based upon pre-selected rules (custom).
  • Job boards collect from direct XML feeds based on their collection schedule but are available 24/7.
  • AUTOMATION WITH VIRTUALLY NO USER ACTION.
  • Requires contract or relationship with the job boards.
  • MANY jobs to ONE job board.

Organic Network

  • SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting maintains a partnership network with several job aggregators and niche boards that drive customer site traffic at no additional cost.
  • Delivery is automated to contain all jobs or with controlled filtering based on job/industry relevancy for a partner.
  • Available for customers to opt-in for this free automation for daily delivery post-launch.
  • NO USER ACTION NEEDED.
  • Does not require a contract with the job boards.
  • Signed Authorization Required.

Social Network Recruiting

  • SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting leverages our customer‘s Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, formerly known as Twitter, presence so they can deliver job listings and content automatically and consistently to their social networks.
  • Share talent landing pages on Facebook, X, formerly known as Twitter, and LinkedIn through our share widget or status updates. Users see new job opportunities and are taken directly to the candidate landing page; one click away from applying.
  • ​Custom RSS feeds automatically push daily listings into Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, formerly known as Twitter.
  • Listings and job search results on LinkedIn also point directly back to branded job pages for exact source tracking.
