Describing the New Features and Enhancements in the 2H 2024 Release

We've enhanced the AI-assisted skills matching feature to let you view the total number of skills in an applicant's resume that match the skills specified as primary and secondary in the job description.

The following are the details of the enhancements:

• The skills identified are now categorized as Primary skills, Secondary skills, Relevant skills, and Unmatched skills.
• Recruiters can choose any skill listed on the Skill Compatibility page to determine whether the skill was part of the job description, extracted from the applicant's resume, or manually entered by the applicant during the application process.

This enhancement helps recruiters, and hiring managers utilize the skills compatibility insights to make informed decisions during applicant screening and hiring.

The applicant list view for the Skills Compatibility section categorizes skills as Job Skills and Other Applicant Skills.

• Job Skills: Lists the primary and secondary skills. Recruiters can manage and validate the job-specific skills for a job requisition using the Manage Skills option on the Job Profile or Job Requisition Details page (based on whether Job Profile Builder is enabled in your instance).

  The job skills section further categorizes skills as:

  • Primary Skills: Skills identified as a must for the job in a job description and are available in the applicant's skill set.
  • Secondary Skills: Skills that improve an applicant's ability to perform a specific job but aren’t required. An applicant also has skills besides the required skills relevant to the job.
• Other Applicant Skills: Lists relevant skills and unmatched skills from an applicant's resume. The relevant skills are additional skills of an applicant that are relevant for the job but not identified as the required skills. The relevant skills are from the applicant's resume or manually added by the applicant on the career site.

Recruiters can use AI-assisted capabilities to extract skills from a job requisition to review and define the essential skills required for the job. They can then refine the list of required skills in the job description to identify candidates whose skills match the job requirements.

Recruiters can perform the following tasks to enhance the skills listed in the job requirements:

• Add, remove, and save skills in the job requisition to control the visibility of the skills listed in the job posting on the career site.
• Categorize primary and secondary skills to find candidates who best fit the job based on their skills matching the skills specified in the job requirements.

The enhancement lets recruiters categorize a job's critical skills to identify candidates whose skills align with the job requirements.

Recruiting administrators can now use SAP Customer Data Cloud for authenticating candidates within the external Career Site.

SAP Customer Data Cloud balances security and self-registration, providing candidate registration and authentication options. The Career Site options include:

• Registration with phone number using SMS
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
• Password-less Authentication
• Registration with social media - with support only limited to Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn.
• Basic Authentication with email and password

You can easily integrate SAP Customer Data Cloud with SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting to simplify data preparation and processing. Refer to Configuration Requirements section, for more information.

We've implemented SAP Customer Data Cloud to provide a secure authentication system that enables recruiting administrators to configure registrations that are highly customizable, and optimize the experience for external candidates to register quickly and apply for jobs faster, avoiding application drop-offs.

We've made several enhancements to style settings in Career Site Builder, so that you can apply your brand to the new AI-assisted features Skills Matching and Skills Cloud.

When you configure a brand in Career Site Builder, you can now use the following style settings.

We added these settings so that customers can configure the colors and styles of new AI-assisted features and make them consistent with their brand.

Configuration Requirements

Most of these enhancements are only available in Career Site Builder if the Unified Data Model is enabled, because they're mainly used for the AI-Assisted Skills Matching for Resumes and Skills Cloud features, which require the Unified Data Model. If you add either of these features to your career site, you can use the new style settings to customize how they appear.

The Primary Button style settings are available in all systems, with or without the Unified Data Model enabled. Your existing configurations are retained and mapped to the new settings, so there's no impact to career site. Only the names and display of the settings in Career Site Builder have changed.

The Secondary Button style settings are only available if the Unified Data Model is enabled, because they're mainly used for new AI-assisted features that require it.

Caution

The Secondary Button style settings are also now used by the List View/Map View button on the search results page, shown here:

If you have the Layouts → Search Results → → Google Job Map option enabled, the List View/Map View button on your career site may change color automatically. As part of the 2H 2024 release, the default gray colors are applied to secondary buttons. You may want to update the Secondary Button style settings and choose different colors that better match your brand.

The Top Jobs and View All Jobs link types will reach End of Maintenance on November 15, 2024 and will be Deleted on May 16, 2025.

You can now add a Skills Cloud component to the Job layout in Career Site Builder, so that job skills are displayed on your career site in the form of a word cloud.

The Skills Cloud component displays skills that have been identified in the job requisition, using AI. If you've enabled the AI-Assisted Skills Matching for Resumes feature (also new in 2H 2024), job skills that match the candidate's skills are highlighted and listed first.

Here's an example of the Skills Cloud component on the job details page. (Colors can be configured in the style settings for your brand.)

Here's an example of the Skills Cloud component showing skills that match the candidate's resume. Candidate skills are highlighted and listed first. In this example, "JavaScript (Programming Language)" and "ReactJS" are candidate skills.

If the AI-Assisted Skills Matching for Resumes feature is enabled, candidates can also upload a resume directly within the Skills Cloud component on the job details page.

We added this feature to help candidates recognize the skills required for a job and visualize how their skills match the job.

You can now enable visitors to your career site to upload a resume and find jobs that match their skills.

When the AI-Assisted Skills Matching for Resumes feature is enabled, the search results page on career sites displays the option to upload a resume. You have the option to present the candidate with a data privacy consent statement (DPCS) before they upload it. After they accept the DPCS and upload their resume, we use AI to analyze the resume and identify their skills. Then, we recommend jobs that match their skills.

Note

We only use the resume temporarily to identify the candidate's skills and recommend jobs. The resume and identified skills are only stored for 30 minutes and they aren't connected to a job application in any way. When a candidate decides to apply, they need to upload their resume again.

Here's what the Skills Matching panel looks like on the search results page. (Colors can be configured in the style settings for your brand.)

Here's an example of job recommendations, after a resume is uploaded. The My Skills filter option enables candidates to toggle between recommended jobs and all jobs (based on their search filters). We show a maximum of 10 recommended jobs, with the strongest matches to the candidate's skills.

If the Skills Cloud component (also new in 2H 2024) is included in the job layout, the candidate can see which of the job skills match skills in their resume. Candidate skills are highlighted and listed first. In this example, "JavaScript (Programming Language)" and "ReactJS" are candidate skills.

We added this feature to help candidates find jobs that best match their skills.
