Creation of Career Sites with Career Site Builder

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting From a Candidate Perspective

A good candidate experience is critical to any successful recruiting practice. This experience starts from the time a job is advertised until the candidate accepts the job offer and is ready to start the onboarding process. Organizations can begin building meaningful candidate relationships by engaging potential candidates with a responsive career site, and keep passive talent engaged with embedded candidate relationship management.

Career Site Builder

Career Site Builder Components

The elements of the career site are highly customizable. You can add components to the career site pages and compare the configuration with the output on the career site.

In this simulation you will learn how engaging career sites are built using Career Site Builder.

How can candidates engage with a recruiting organization using Career Site Builder?

Recruiting goes beyond the immediate need of filling a specific job requisition. The goal is to increase the number of qualified candidates in an organization's talent pipeline that are readily available to fill positions at all levels of the company.

The recruiting organization can increase the number of qualified candidates in their talent pipeline by:

  • Using Data capture forms: Recruiters can create targeted forms to capture new leads; data capture forms can be created and used for specific campaign-related purposes.

    To learn more, complete the Create a Data Capture Form tutorial by selecting Start Exercise below.

  • Building Talent pools: Anyone with a Candidate Profile (account with the career site) can be added into a talent pool to help recruiters proactively source for positions. Once added to a talent pool, recruiters can begin building relationships with candidates by sending personalized content through email campaigns.
