Manage Mobile-Friendly Career Site (Early Adopter)
Mobile-friendly career sites enable job seekers to search for and apply to jobs on desktop or mobile devices. Applicants will have the same experience on your career site regardless of the device they are using. Google Analytics is also supported on mobile-friendly career sites. You can create a mobile-friendly career site, and create a customized job alert template to send email alerts.
To manage the mobile-friendly career site, go to
.Job Postings Note: When posting a job requisition to a mobile-friendly career site, the posting can take up to 15 minutes to appear.

Edit Mobile-Friendly Career Sites
-
In the Career Site Title column, select a mobile-friendly career site.
-
Click the edit icon. The Settings page opens.
-
Make any necessary changes.
Career Site Language Settings
As with functionality for standard career sites, you can select the languages in which applicants can view the career site. In the Career Site Language(s) field, you can check Select All to select all available languages. Or, check the individual boxes for the languages you would like to include. The languages that are available to select are the languages enabled for the portal.
When applicants view the career site, the languages that you selected will appear in the language drop-down. The career site will then update to display in the selected language.
Title
Enter a title in the Title field, up to 250 characters. The title displays on the Career Site Management page.
Allow Search Engines to Index Site
The Allow search engines to index site option lets you enable or disable the ability for search engines to index the site. When you allow search engines to index your career site, more candidates can find and apply to your jobs. They can use job search methods they are familiar with and see all of your available jobs that match their skills.
This option is checked by default for newly created mobile-friendly career sites. The option is disabled by default for existing career sites that were created before implementation of this enhancement.
Check the box to enable search engine indexing. Jobs that are posted to this career site via the Job Postings page will be searchable on search engines.
When the option is unchecked, candidates will not be able to find the jobs that are posted to this career site on search engines.

For Google Jobs, jobs can take up to several weeks to appear. This is due to the crawling functionality that Google uses to pick up the jobs and the timing of the next crawl after your requisition is posted to the career site.
For Indeed, your jobs will be eligible to appear as long as their eligibility guidelines are followed. Their eligibility guidelines are available on their help page to ensure that your jobs are eligible to appear.

No. Your jobs can still be posted to job boards. However, even if you post your jobs to job boards, you may still want them to appear on Google Jobs and Indeed because some job seekers will not visit the job boards.

This option only applies to mobile-friendly career sites. Standard career sites are not impacted.

Google Jobs works like any other search in Google. Candidates enter search terms in the Google search bar, and a Jobs section appears in the search results. Your jobs will appear in those results that are targeted by candidates.
Logo Image for Search Engines
Pre-Step Note: There must at least one image added to Corporate Preferences in order to select a logo for your jobs.
With the Logo Image for Search Engines option, you can add a corporate logo, which will appear right next to each job on the search engine. A logo provides immediate recognition for your brand. This can also help candidates identify your jobs more quickly in the future.
To select a logo:
- Click the drop-down to view the list of images. The images that display are the images that were configured in Corporate Preferences.
- Select an image from the drop-down.
If you opt not to define a logo, Google will attribute a default logo to the job posting based on the first letter of your organization's name.
This image will also be used when sharing a job on Facebook and LinkedIn. To see how the shared job will appear, you can copy and paste the URL of a job details page into the post inspector for Facebook and LinkedIn:
- Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/

This section lets you add Google Tag Manager to your career site. Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that allows you to edit and add tracking pixels to web pages without constantly editing HTML code. You can use Google Tag Manager with other tools and marketing vendors to attract and maintain candidates, measure engagement on career sites, identify drop-off points, and much more.
Click here to download the Google Tag Manager starter guide.
Enter your Google Tag Manager ID in the Google Tag Manager ID field. Upon saving the career site settings, the ID will automatically get applied to the job search page and the job details pages in career sites, as well as application workflow pages.

This section lets you add custom requisition fields as filters on the career site. Adding custom fields provides candidates with the filters they need to find jobs that specifically match their job function, compensation type, experience level, etc. Candidates will not need to look through a long list of jobs to find the right fit. The custom field filters will help them to quickly narrow down their search so that they can start applying.
The following field types are available:
- Dropdown
- Radio Button
- Checkbox
To add custom requisition fields:
- Click Add Custom Requisition Field. This opens the Select Custom Requisition Field pop-up.
- Select a field from the list. The field types are Dropdown, Radio Button, and Check Box. Only one field can be selected at a time.
- Selecting a field closes the pop-up and adds the field to the page.
When more than one field is added, you can reorder them by dragging and dropping them into the desired order.
Once a field has been added, the following information and options are available in the panel.:
- Name - This column displays the name of the custom field.
- Question Type - This column display the type of custom field: Dropdown, Radio Button, or Check Box.
- Allow Multi-Select - Check the box to let applicants select more than one option from a drop-down custom field when it appears on the career site. This option is unchecked by default. When this is select, a dropdown field will appear as check boxes on the left rail of a career site.
- Select a field to highlight in main search - Check the box to enable the Include in Main Search option. Having a field highlighted in the main search means that the field will appear in the search bar at the top of the career site. The field will also appear in the Filters section on the left side of the page, but having it at the top helps candidates find the filter quickly and start searching for jobs. This is only available for drop-down fields.
- Include in Main Search - Select this option to display the custom field in the main search. Only one field can be selected.
- Delete - Click the trash can
icon to remove the field from the career site.
Note: When candidates search for jobs on the career site, if no posted requisitions match a custom filter's values, then that custom filter will not display. This can happen when a new custom field is configured, but no requisitions have populated values for that field.


Custom Requisition Fields are created as Organizational Unit (OU) type custom fields in Custom Field Administration. You must have permission to create OU custom fields.

Not with this release. You will need to edit the career site and add the custom requisition fields again.

Yes. Historical requisitions will still have this field specified. You can edit the career site at any time to remove the filter if desired.

Similar to current functionality, anyone who has the permission to create career sites will have the ability to add custom requisition fields to the career site. This is true even if an administrator does not have the permission to see the custom requisition field at the requisition level.
