Exploring Internal Career Site

Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Define web content readability and user experience guidelines.
  • Explain Internal Career Site.

Text Content for the Web

  • Text and typography must be easy and pleasant to read (that is, they must be legible).
  • Content should be easy to understand.
  • Content should be skimmable because web users don't read much. Studies show that we only read 28% of the text on a web page in a best-case scenario.
  • Use high-contrast text (e.g., black text on a white background).
  • Choose an easy-to-read font.
    • Sans-serif fonts (e.g., Arial, Verdana) are generally considered more legible on the web than serif fonts (e.g., Times New Roman).
    • Use fonts consistently across all modules on all pages.
    • 14-16 points is our recommendation for body text to be best read on desktop and mobile.
  • Keep content concise.
    • Get to the point as quickly as possible.
    • Use half the word count or less than conventional writing.
    • When chunking information into blocks, focus the bulk of the content on the most important information and position it near the top of the page.
  • Break up lengthy content.
    • Use headings and subheadings that clearly contrast with the rest of the text (bolder, larger, and so on).
    • Use simple and concise headings.
    • Use keyword-rich headings to aid skimming.
    • Use bulleted or numbered lists when possible.
    • Use relevant visuals to break up lengthy content.
  • Display the company’s name visibly on the page.
  • Use digits rather than writing out numbers.

Internal Career Site

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

Internal Employee Access

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.

This screenshot shows an example of an SAP SuccessFactors Home Page.

Employee Content

  • When using CSB for the Internal Career Site, customers can choose which component will be visible to internal or external candidates, allowing the creation of employee-specific content on their internal career site. Each component added to CSB pages can be flagged as Internal, External, or both.
  • Additionally, Internal candidates can access Internal job postings.
This screenshot shows the CSB page component options and highlights the internal and external boxes.
