Create Standard Career Site

When unchecking a language that already has translated text in the Career Site General Settings section, a confirmation pop-up opens to indicate that the language contains translated information. Selecting yes in the pop-up deletes any existing translated text in the career site settings for the deleted language.

When including multiple languages for a career site, it is a best practice to select the Display Field option in the Selected Search Fields section for all search criteria that you are including on the Search Jobs widget. This ensures that applicants have search features available to find jobs in other languages.

Job requisitions that are not translated into the applicant's preferred language that they select on the career site will see the translatable values in the default language of the requisition. The application will not display the translatable values in the applicant's preferred language.

Note: System fields on the application, such as the field names on the Upload Attachments section of the application, display in the language the applicant selects on their My Profile page in the career site.

Select the language from the drop-down for the header/footer. The languages that display in the drop-down are the languages selected in the Career Site Language(s) field in the Career Site Language Settings section. Based on the language selected in the drop-down, administrators can configure header/footer information that applies to the selected language so that applicants see the translated content on the career site when they select to view the career site in the associated language.

Enter a title for the career site. This title is displayed on the Career Site Management page. The character limit for this field is 250. For portals with multiple languages enabled, you can enter a translated value for the title.

This field is unchecked by the default and allows administrators to select whether or not to allow search engines to index the career site. When unchecked, a meta tag is added to the page meta that prevents search engines from crawling the pages and subpages. When checked, a meta tag is updated to allow search engines to crawl the page.

Enter a meta page title, up to 50 characters. The title can be translated into the languages available for the portal by selecting a different language in the Language field and entering the translated meta page title in the field. When applicants search for the job in search engines, the search results will display the job in the applicant's language, if available.

Enter a meta page description, up to 150 characters. The description can be translated into the languages available for the portal by selecting a different language in the Language field and entering the translated meta page description in the field. When applicants search for the job in search engines, the search results will display the job in the applicant's language, if available.

When configuring the header, you can configure either a simple or advanced header. Note: JavaScript is not accepted by default when creating the header. To enable JavaScript for the header, contact Global Customer Support.

• Simple - The Simple option enables you to select a header image and color.
  • Select Header - From the drop-down list, select a header image for the career site. The selected header is displayed for all career site pages, including Job Search, Job Details, Login/Self Register, My Profile, and Application Experience.

The WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) tool provides configuration tools, such as images, fonts, colors, formatting, and tables. There is also a Copy from Word feature that enables administrators to import from Microsoft Word, preserving the formatting used in the Word document. HTML code can also be used. For more information about the WYSIWYG tool, see the WYSIWYG Tool Considerations section in the Create New Email topic in Online Help. The system only accepts certain customizable HTML elements in the WYSIWYG Editor. Elements that are not acceptable display as text. See Safe Listed Customizable Elements.

When configuring the footer, you can configure either a simple or advanced footer.

• Simple - The Simple option enables you to select a footer image and color. Note: JavaScript is not accepted by default when creating the footer. To enable JavaScript for the footer, contact Global Customer Support.
  • Select Footer - From the drop-down list, select a footer image for the career site. The selected footer is displayed for all career site pages, including Job Search, Job Details, Login/Self Register, My Profile, and Application Experience. The available images are taken from the Corporate Preferences images. A preview of the footer image is displayed in the Footer Preview field.
  • Footer Color - Select the footer color, which is the color that fills the footer in areas that the footer image does not fill. You may enter a hex value for the color or select a color by clicking the Select Color button.
  • Footer Preview - This displays a preview of what the footer will look like on the career site. The selected image is always aligned in the lower-left portion of the footer. Any empty space in the footer is filled with the selected footer color. The selected logo is not resized.
• Advanced - The Advanced career site footer option includes HTML configuration options. Selecting the Advanced option opens the WYSIWYG editor. The WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) tool provides configuration tools, such as images, fonts, colors, formatting, and tables.

For more information about the WYSIWYG tool, see the WYSIWYG Tool Considerations section in the Create New Email topic in Online Help. The system only accepts certain customizable HTML elements in the WYSIWYG Editor. Elements that are not acceptable display as text. See Safe Listed Customizable Elements.

Note: When clicking between the Simple and Advanced options when configuring headers and footers, any settings that you have configured in either option are maintained.

The Login Page Background field allows you to select an image that will appear as the background on the login page and the Create a Profile page for applicants. This helps to further brand the career site for the organization.

To select an image, click the drop-down and select from available images. The recommended image size is 1920 x 1200 pixels.

Note: If an image is not selected, then the background is white.

Administrators with permission to manage Corporate Preferences can upload new images from the Corporate Preferences page. Once the image is uploaded and the preferences are saved, the image can be selected from the Login Page Background field.

Note: You can still also add a header and footer by using the Header/Footer options.

The Enable Mobile Site option was retired as part of the October '18 release.

As part of the August '19 release, this option is deprecated for all qualifying career sites. A qualifying career site is a Standard career site that has the Enable Mobile Site option checked. This is being done because all action items that were supported in the old mobile optimized experience are supported in the mobile-friendly experience. In addition, performance has been enhanced, and new features are supported that were once not supported for mobile users, such as resume parsing, Apply with LinkedIn, and localization. Existing Standard career sites will no longer use the old mobile optimized experience so that all candidates can benefit from the new experience. If a mobile-friendly qualifying workflow is published to a Standard career site, the career site will display in the Standard format, but the application workflow will automatically become mobile-friendly. A qualifying application workflow is one that does not contain Forms, Training, or Assessment action items.

The function of the Enable Mobile Site option is to allow a mobile optimized career site to display for applicants accessing the career site from a mobile device.

For more information about the deprecation of the Standard career site experience, see the Frequently Asked Questions - Deprecate Standard Experience page in Online Help.

This option enables administrators to select a header image for the site. The images that are available in the Mobile Image drop-down are the images defined in Corporate Preferences.

This option enables administrators to define the color that fills the areas that the header image does not fill. Enter a hex value for the color or select a color by clicking the Select Color button.

 Select this option to allow LinkedIn Apply/Sign-In functionality. This includes:

• Apply with LinkedIn from Job Details page.
• Sign in or Register with Linked in from the Sign In/Registration page.
• Use LinkedIn resume/CV from Application/Experience page.

Note: LinkedIn is sun-setting their current version of Apply with LinkedIn by the end of 2018. Once this occurs, the Allow Apply with LinkedIn /Sign-In option will no longer be available for standard career sites, and no LinkedIn options will be available to candidates when applying to a job on a standard career site. Clients who have a LinkedIn Recruiter contract, or a LinkedIn corporate account with active LinkedIn job slots, can leverage the new Apply with LinkedIn (With Apply Starters). The new Apply with LinkedIn (With Apply Starters) will only be supported on mobile friendly workflows. See Apply with LinkedIn (with Apply Starters) - Overview.

When this option is checked, an Apply with Seek button displays on the career site for applicants and allows them to apply to the job using their Seek profile. This option is unchecked by default. This option only displays for portals with the Apply with Seek integration enabled. Note: To enable the Seek functionality, contact Global Customer Support. Then, you can purchase Seek from the Edge Marketplace for $0.

Select this option to allow applicants to connect their applicant profile with Facebook. This connection enables the system to access their basic information and email address from Facebook. The system also compares your friends list against people that work at the company to find common connections.

The Referrals section includes settings to enable or disable the referral options that appear on the career site. If an option is disabled, it does not appear for applicants on the career site.

field	description
Allow Refer by Email	This option is checked by default and enables the Send to a Friend email icon to display on the job details page on the career site. When unchecked, the email icon does not display for any jobs on the career site, and applicants are unable to refer the job by email.
Allow Share this on Facebook	This option is checked by default and enables the Share this on Facebook icon to display on the job details page on the career site. When unchecked, the Facebook icon does not display for any jobs on the career site, and applicants are unable to share the job on Facebook.
Allow Share this on LinkedIn	This option is checked by default and enables the Share this on LinkedIn icon to display on the job details page on the career site. When unchecked, the LinkedIn icon does not display for any jobs on the career site, and applicants are unable to share the job on LinkedIn.

This option is disabled by default. Check the Enable Apply as Guest box to enable applicants to apply as a guest to a job on the career site. Applying as a guest means that new applicants do not need to create a profile before applying to a job, and existing applicants to not need to log in to their profile before applying to the job. Leave the box unchecked to disable the Apply as Guest functionality.

Enabling the Enable Apply as Guest option could help to make the application process quicker and easier for applicants and reduce the possibility of applicants choosing not to apply because they do not wish to create a profile on the career site.

The Enable Apply as Guest option only applies to Standard career sites. The Apply as Guest functionality is enabled by default for mobile-friendly career sites.

Mobile Considerations

The Apply as Guest feature is not supported on mobile optimized sites.

Use Case - Scenario 1: Streamline Applicant Workflow and Increase Completed Application Ratio

1. Terrance is the Recruiting BPO for Acme Corporation. Acme is a Retail Restaurant Chain.
2. Acme is expanding and will be opening new restaurant locations in the early Fall. Acme needs the new locations to be fully staffed in time for targeted opening dates.
3. To accomplish the aggressive hiring goals, Terrance knows that the application experience has to be straightforward and simple to complete.
4. To provide an experience with the least amount of friction, Terrance configures his requisition to allow applicants to apply within having to log in or create a profile. With the Apply as Guest functionality, Acme career sites can see application completion rates increase as a result of simplified workflows.
5. Additionally, Terrance configures contact information-only parsing, which allows applicants to upload their resume and have the system parse and pre-populate contact information fields ( phone, email, etc.) within the application.
6. Finally, Terrance wants to make sure he provides a path to account creation for interested applicants. With this requirement in mind, Terrance configures the "Submit" step to allow applicants to create a profile at the time of application submission.
7. Terrance applied the following Settings to align with his goals to hire a lot of people very quickly:
   • Apply as Guest Functionality - Allows applicants to apply to open positions without creating an account or logging in to their existing profile.
   • Contact Information-Only Parsing - Resume upload parses and pre-populates contact fields. This setting is ideal for organizations that would like to further streamline the applicant experience.
   • Create Profile in Submit Step - The applicant user can submit their application at the same time as they create an account. This action provides a path to profile creation that can benefit hiring related communication and tracking.
