Text on websites is an important element of the candidate experience, as it conveys information, instructions, and messages to the visitors. Some leading practices regarding text on websites are:

• Use high contrast text, for example, black text on a white background: High contrast text improves readability and accessibility, as it makes the text stand out from the background and reduces eye strain. High contrast text also helps people with visual impairments or color blindness to perceive the text better. You can use the Color Contrast Analyzer tool1 to check the contrast ratio of your text and background colors.
• Use half the word count or less than conventional writing: Web users tend to scan rather than read text, so it is important to use concise and clear language that conveys the main points quickly and effectively. You can use the Hemingway Editor tool2 to check the readability and simplicity of your text and eliminate unnecessary words, passive voice, or complex sentences.
• Break up lengthy content and separate with headings: Long blocks of text can be overwhelming and boring for web users, so it is advisable to break up the content into smaller chunks and use headings to organize and label them. Headings help web users to navigate and find the information they need, and also improve the SEO (search engine optimization) of your site. You can use the HTML Heading Structure tool3 to check the hierarchy and consistency of your headings.
• Avoid using bulleted or numbered lists: This is not a correct answer, because bulleted or numbered lists are useful for presenting multiple items or steps in a concise and structured way. Lists help web users to scan and comprehend the information easily, and also add visual variety to the text. However, you should avoid using too many or too long lists, as they can lose their impact and clarity. You can use the List-o-matic tool4 to generate HTML code for your lists.
• Use a serif font (such as Times New Roman), rather than a sans-serif font (such as Arial): This is not a correct answer, because the choice of font depends on the purpose, audience, and style of your site. Serif fonts have small strokes or lines at the end of the letters, while sans-serif fonts do not. Serif fonts are usually considered more traditional, formal, and elegant, while sans-serif fonts are more modern, casual, and simple. However, there is no definitive rule on which font is better for web text, as both have their advantages and disadvantages. You can use the Font Squirrel tool to find and download free web fonts for your site. References:

Your customer requires additional Home pages when enabling brands and locales on their Career Site Builder site. Brands are different identities or subdomains that your customer may have for their career site, such as different divisions, regions, or products. Locales are different languages or regional settings that your customer may have for their career site, such as English, French, or German. When enabling brands and locales, you need to create additional Home pages for each combination of brand and locale, to ensure that the content and layout are consistent and appropriate for each audience. For example, if your customer has two brands, Brand A and Brand B, and two locales, English and French, then you need to create four Home pages:

• Home - English - Brand A
• Home - English - Brand B
• Home - French - Brand A
• Home - French - Brand B

Maps and site kits are not elements that require additional Home pages when enabling them on a Career Site Builder site. Maps are components that display the location of your customer’s offices or job requisitions on a map. Site kits are templates that provide predefined styles, components, and pages for your career site. You can use maps and site kits on any Home page, regardless of the brand or locale, without creating additional Home pages. References:

You will enable Limit Search by Locale under Global Search options in Career Site Builder (CSB) under the following conditions:

• The customer plans to translate the title and description for all job requisitions that are relevant for a specific locale.This will ensure that the candidates see the job requisitions in their preferred language and can apply more easily1.
• The customer wants jobs returned in a search to be restricted to the locale the candidate selects on the CSB site.This will provide a more personalized and relevant experience for the candidates and filter out the jobs that are not applicable for their region2.

The other options are not valid conditions for enabling Limit Search by Locale in CSB:

• The customer wants to host multiple locales on their CSB site, and Limit Search by Locale is required for that. This is not true, as Limit Search by Locale is an optional feature that can be enabled or disabled for each locale.The customer can host multiple locales on their CSB site without using this feature3.
• The customer wants job alerts that the candidate receives to be restricted to the locale the candidate selects on the CSB site. This is not possible, as job alerts are based on the candidate’s profile settings and not on the CSB site settings.The candidate can choose the language and location preferences for the job alerts in their profile4.

When setting up a subdomain for a customer’s Career Site Builder site, the recommended naming convention is to use either careers..com or jobs..com, where is the name of the customer’s organization. These naming conventions are preferred because they:

• Indicate the purpose of the site, which is to showcase the career opportunities and the job openings of the customer.
• Enhance the search engine optimization (SEO) of the site, which helps to rank higher in the search results and attract more traffic and candidates.
• Maintain the branding and identity of the customer, which helps to build trust and recognition among the candidates and the visitors.
• Simplify the domain management and maintenance, which reduces the complexity and the cost of the site administration.

The other two options are incorrect because:

• .careers.com: This naming convention is not recommended because it uses a generic top-level domain (TLD) of .com, which does not indicate the specific country or region of the customer. This could cause confusion and ambiguity among the candidates and the visitors, especially if the customer operates in multiple markets or locations. Moreover, this naming convention could conflict with other existing domains that use the same TLD and the same prefix of careers.
• .com/jobs: This naming convention is not recommended because it uses a subdirectory or a subfolder of /jobs, rather than a subdomain. This could affect the performance and the security of the site, as well as the SEO ranking. For example, using a subdirectory could slow down the loading speed of the site, as it shares the same server and the same resources with the main domain. It could also expose the site to more risks and vulnerabilities, as it inherits the same security settings and the same certificates as the main domain. Furthermore, using a subdirectory could lower the SEO ranking of the site, as it competes with the main domain and the other subdirectories for the same keywords and the same authority.

• Option B is correct because you can create colors for your Career Site Builder site using the color picker grid or by typing in the RGB or hex code. This gives you moreflexibility and precision in choosing the colors that match your customer’s branding and design1.
• Option C is correct because you can use the opacity slide to lighten a color in your palette instead of creating a new color. This helps you save space in your palette and avoid having too many similar colors1.
• Option D is incorrect because you should not archive colors that are only used in the header and footer. Archiving a color will remove it from your palette and from any components that use it. This can cause errors and inconsistencies in your site design1.
• Option E is correct because you should enter a label for each color in your customer’s color palette. This helps you identify and organize the colors in your palette and makes it easier to apply them to the components in your site1.
• Option A is incorrect because you should not add colors for all brands that will be needed for a multi-branded site. You should create separate color palettes for each brand and assign them to the corresponding site settings. This allows you to manage the colors for each brand independently and avoid confusion and duplication1.

You can create a branded email layout for your customer to customize the look and feel of your email communications with candidates. You can use the email layout to add your logo, colors, fonts, and other elements that match your brand identity. You can also use the email layout to add dynamic content, such as candidate name, job title, or recruiter name, to personalize your messages. When you have enabled Candidate Relationship Management and created a branded email layout, you can use it in the following scenarios:

• When sending an email from the Candidate Workbench: The Candidate Workbench is a tool that allows you to manage your candidates and their activities. You can use the Candidate Workbench to send emails to individual or multiple candidates, and select the email layout that you want to use1.
• When sending an email from the Candidate Search page: The Candidate Search page is a tool that allows you to search for candidates based on various criteria, such as keywords, location, skills, or status. You can use the Candidate Search page to send emails to the candidates that match your search results, and select the email layout that you want to use2.

In Command Center, the following filters are available when you search for a site:

• Career Site URL: This filter allows you to search for a site by its URL, which is the web address that candidates use to access the site1.
• Recruiting Management Data Center: This filter allows you to search for a site by its data center, which is the physical location where the site’s data is stored and processed2.
• Recruiting Management Company ID: This filter allows you to search for a site by its company ID, which is the unique identifier that SAP assigns to each customer instance3.

The other options are not valid filters for searching for a site in Command Center:

• Single Sign-On Security Key: This is not a filter, but a setting that enables single sign-on (SSO) for a site, which is a feature that allows candidates to log in to the site using their existing credentials from another system4.
• Manage API Credentials: This is not a filter, but a setting that allows you to manage the API credentials for a site, which are the keys that enable the site to communicate with external systems using application programming interfaces (APIs).

Career Site Builder (CSB) is a tool that allows customers to create and manage their own career sites without the need for coding or technical skills. Some of the advantages of building a career site with CSB are:

• Candidates can apply for jobs on a mobile device or a tablet, as CSB sites are responsive and adaptive to different screen sizes and orientations. This enhances the candidate experience and accessibility of the site.
• Customers can update their CSB career sites on their own, as CSB provides a user-friendly interface and a preview mode that allows customers to see the changes before publishing them. This gives customers more control and flexibility over their site content and design.
• Customers can have multiple domain names for their branded site, as CSB supports the use of custom domains and subdomains for different languages, regions, or brands. This allows customers to tailor their site to different audiences and markets.

Category pages are designed to display job listings based on predefined criteria, such as location, function, or industry. They allow candidates to browse and filter jobs that match their interests and qualifications. Category pages can also include components such as banners, videos, or testimonials to showcase the employer brand and culture. 

The Command Center is a central location where you can access various features and settings related to your Career Site Builder site. The quick links are shortcuts to the most commonly used functions, such as editing your site, managing your API credentials, or viewing your career site. The quick links available in Command Center are:

• Career Site: This link opens your career site in a new tab, where you can see how it looks to candidates and test its functionality.
• API Credentials: This link takes you to the API Credentials page, where you can generate, view, and revoke your API keys for integrating with external systems or services, such as job boards, CRM platforms, or analytics tools.
• Career Site Builder: This link takes you to the Career Site Builder page, where you can edit your site settings, pages, components, styles, and content. You can also preview, publish, or revert your changes from here.
• Recruiting Advanced Analytics and Delete Jobs are not quick links in Command Center, but they are available in other sections of the Admin Center. Recruiting Advanced Analytics is a reporting tool that allows you to measure and optimize your recruiting performance and candidate experience. Delete Jobs is a function that allows you to permanently remove jobs from your system, either individually or in bulk. References: 1, 2, 3

• Option A is correct because adding the field to a data capture form will allow candidates to complete it during the job fair even if they do not apply for a job. A data capture form is a tool that collects candidate information on a landing page without requiring them to create an account or submit an application. Data capture forms can be used for events, campaigns, or surveys to engage with potential candidates and build talent pools1.
• Option B is incorrect because adding the field to the Application template will only allow candidates to complete it if they apply for a job. The Application template is the form that candidates fill out when they apply for a specific job requisition on the career site. The Application template is not suitable for capturing candidate information for general events or campaigns2.
• Option C is incorrect because adding the field to the Candidate Profile template will only allow candidates to complete it if they create or update their profile on the career site. The Candidate Profile template is the form that candidates fill out when they create or update their profile on the career site. The Candidate Profile template is not suitable for capturing candidate information for general events or campaigns3.
• Option D is incorrect because adding the field to the Create an Account page will only allow candidates to complete it if they create an account on the career site. The Create an Account page is the page that candidates see when they click on the Create an Account button on the career site. The Create an Account page is not suitable for capturing candidate information for general events or campaigns.

 If a candidate tries to access a branded page that has not been built, the system will automatically redirect them to the page for the default brand. This is because the default brand is used as a fallback option when a specific brand is not available or configured. The default brand should have all the pages that are required for the candidate experience, such as the home page, the job search page, the job details page, etc. References: SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration, Unit 4: Career Site Builder Global Settings and Global Styles, Lesson: Configuring Brands, Slide 9.

Some leading practices to create locales in Career Site Builder are:

• If the customer requires only one language and it is NOT en_US, you can change the default locale. This will save you time and effort as you do not need to create a new locale and duplicate the pages and components.You can simply edit the default locale and change the language and other settings as needed1.
• Follow the same layout for the localized pages as the default locale. This will ensure consistency and usability across different languages and regions.You can usethe same page templates and components for the locales, and only change the text and images as required2.

The other options are not leading practices for creating locales in Career Site Builder:

• Using Google Translate to translate text for locales is not recommended as it may result in inaccurate or inappropriate translations.You should use a professional translation service or a native speaker to ensure the quality and accuracy of the text3.
• Creating the Home page for the locale instead of duplicating it from the default locale is not a leading practice as it will create extra work and maintenance.You can use the Duplicate Page feature to copy the Home page from the default locale and then edit the text and images as needed for the locale4.

Some key features of a fully hosted Career Site Builder (CSB) site are:

• When a candidate visits a company’s corporate site and clicks a link to view careers, they are directed to the CSB site.This will provide a seamless and branded experience for the candidates and allow them to explore the company’s culture, values, and opportunities1.
• All information regarding available jobs and additional information pertaining to employment are displayed in the CSB site.This will enable the candidates to find and apply for jobs that match their interests and qualifications, and also learn more about the company’s benefits, diversity, and social responsibility2.

The other options are not valid features of a fully hosted CSB site:

• When a candidate visits a company’s corporate site and clicks a link to view careers, they are directed to an applicant tracking system.This will create a disjointed and unappealing experience for the candidates and may discourage them from applying or returning to the site3.
• The customer maintains their own career site in addition to the CSB career site.This will create duplication and inconsistency of content and design, and also increase the maintenance and cost for the customer4.

The Department (Category) field is often mapped to support writing Category Page rules because it allows you to create dynamic pages based on the department of the job requisition. For example, you can create a page that displays all the jobs in the Marketing department, or a page that shows the department overview and culture. The other fields are not as useful for creating Category Pages, as they are either too specific (Product Service, Hiring Manager) or too general (Number of Openings). References: SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration, Unit 4: Job Data and Job Field Mapping, Lesson: Job Field Mapping, Slide 10.

The sitewide metadata in Career Site Builder (CSB) is crucial for enhancing the visibility and accessibility of the site on search engines and for users. If “Jobs at Best Run” is set as the Page Title, it will display on the browser tab when a user opens the home page for the site (Option A). Additionally, when “Jobs at Best Run” appears in search engine results, it will serve as a clickable link directing users to the CSB site (Option B). Option C is incorrect because using keywords in page content is equally important as populating the Meta Keywords field for SEO. Option D is incorrect because metadata leading practices involve specific titles for different pages to enhance SEO. References: [SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration], Unit 6: Site Setup, Lesson: Site Metadata, Slide 4-5.

According to the SAP Help Portal1, some leading practices to enter language translations for customer-specific content into Career Site Builder (CSB) are:

• Enter the translations into the Translations menu in CSB. This is the recommended method for entering translations for labels, buttons, messages, and other text elements that are used throughout the CSB site. You can access the Translations menu from the Tools tab in CSB, and select the language and the category of the text element you want to translate. You can also search for a specific text element by its name or value. You can enter the translations manually or import them from an XML file1.
• Export the default language to an XML file, enter the translations, and import. This is an alternative method for entering translations for text elements, especially if you have a large number of translations to enter. You can export the default language (usually English) to an XML file from the Translations menu in CSB, and then use a text editor or a spreadsheet program to enter the translations for each text element. You can then import the XML file back to CSB, and the translations will be applied to the corresponding text elements1.
• Duplicate the page from the base locale and enter the translations on the duplicated pages is not a leading practice to enter language translations for customer-specific content into CSB. This is because duplicating pages creates unnecessary maintenance and complexity, as you have to update each page separately whenever you make a change. Instead, you should use the Locale feature in CSB, which allows you to create different versions of the same page for different languages. You can access the Locale feature from the Pages tab in CSB, and select the base page and the language you want to create a new version for. You can then enter the translations for the page content, such as titles, headings, paragraphs, etc. You can also use the Translations menu to translate the text elements that are used on the page2.
• Create a new header and footer for each translated page is not a leading practice to enter language translations for customer-specific content into CSB. This is because creating new headers and footers for each language adds unnecessary duplication and inconsistency, as you have to manage multiple versions of the same components. Instead, you should use the Locale feature in CSB, which allows you to create different versions of the same header and footer for different languages. You can access the Locale feature from the Components tab in CSB, and select the base header or footer and the language you want to create a new version for. You can then enter the translations for the header or footer content, such as logos, links, menus, etc. You can also use the Translations menu to translate the text elements that are used in the header or footer2. References: Career Site Builder Translations, Career Site Builder Locales

• Option C is correct because when Mobile Apply is enabled for Career Site Builder, the application template is consolidated onto a single page for candidates to complete. The application template contains the fields and questions that the candidates need to fill out when applying for a job. The Mobile Apply feature simplifiesthe application process by reducing the number of pages and clicks that the candidates have to go through on their mobile devices1.
• Option D is correct because when Mobile Apply is enabled for Career Site Builder, the candidate profile template is consolidated onto a single page for candidates to complete. The candidate profile template contains the fields and questions that the candidates need to fill out when creating or updating their profile on the career site. The Mobile Apply feature also simplifies the profile creation and update process by reducing the number of pages and clicks that the candidates have to go through on their mobile devices1.
• Option A is incorrect because when Mobile Apply is enabled for Career Site Builder, the people profile templates are not consolidated onto a single page for candidates to complete. The people profile templates are used to define the fields and sections that appear on the people profile page in the SAP SuccessFactors platform. The people profile page is not part of the career site or the Mobile Apply feature2.
• Option B is incorrect because when Mobile Apply is enabled for Career Site Builder, the offer approval template is not consolidated onto a single page for candidates to complete. The offer approval template is used to define the fields and sections that appear on the offer approval page in the SAP SuccessFactors platform. The offer approval page is not part of the career site or the Mobile Apply feature3.

 The Cookie Consent Manager is a feature that allows candidates to view and modify their cookie preferences on the Career Site Builder site. The Cookie Consent Manager can be accessed by clicking on a link in the header or footer of the site, which the consultant must configure in the Career Site Builder settings. The link can be customized with different text, icon, and style options. Once the candidate clicks on the link, they can see the list of cookies that are used on the site, and choose to enable or disable them based on their preferences. The candidate can also view the cookie policy and the privacy statement from the Cookie Consent Manager. The candidate’s cookie preferences are stored in their browser and applied on subsequent visits to the site, unless they clear their browser cache or change their preferences again. References:

The header navigation menu is a component that allows candidates to navigate through different pages on your career site. It is recommended to include links to Category pages and Content pages in the header navigation menu, as these pages provide relevant information and opportunities for the candidates. Category pages are pages that display job requisitions based on predefined criteria, such as location, function, or industry. Content pages are pages that display custom content, such as company culture, benefits, testimonials, or events. By including links to these pages, you can showcase your employer brand, attract candidates to your job openings, and enhance the candidate experience.

Links to social networks and top job searches are not recommended to be included in the header navigation menu, as they are not essential for the candidate journey. Links to social networks can be added to the footer or the sidebar of your career site, as they are secondary sources of information and engagement. Links to top job searches can be added to the homepage or the search results page of your career site, as they are dynamic and contextual. Adding too many links to the header navigation menu can clutter the user interface and distract the candidates from the main content and actions. References:

When creating job descriptions in the requisition, it is important to follow some leading practices to ensure that the job descriptions are clear, concise, and compelling. According to the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration course, some of the leading practices are:

• Place the most unique information about the job at the top of the job description: This practice helps to capture the attention of the candidates and highlight the main selling points of the job. The most unique information could include the job title, location, summary, or key responsibilities.
• Include information in the job description such as company information and benefits: This practice helps to showcase the employer brand and value proposition, and to motivate the candidates to apply for the job. The company information and benefits could include the company culture, vision, mission, values, awards, or recognition.

The following practices are not recommended:

• Add an image to the job description to attract more attention: This practice may not be effective, as the image may not display properly on the career site or on external job boards. Moreover, the image may distract the candidates from the actual content of the job description, or may not be relevant to the job.
• Do NOT include bullets in job descriptions as they will not display in the career site: This practice is incorrect, as bullets can be used in job descriptions and they will display in the career site. Bullets can help to organize the information in the job description and make it easier to read and scan.

 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol that encrypts personal data used in the recruiting process. SSL ensures that the data transmitted between the candidate’s browser and the career site is secure and protected from unauthorized access or tampering1. SSL also helps to improve the candidate’s trust and confidence in the career site and the recruiting process2.
