SAP C_THR84_2311 SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience 1H/2023 Exam Practice Test

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.

After a Career Site Builder site is moved from stage to production, the site URLs need to be checked to ensure that they are pointing to the correct environment and domain. The site kit selection, map settings, and external redirects are not affected by the move to production and do not need to be checked. References: SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration, Unit 6: Move to Production, Lesson: Move to Production, Slide 8.

Candidates can be added to a talent pool from the following sources:

• Candidate Workbench (Talent Pipeline page): You can manually add candidates to a talent pool from the Talent Pipeline page, which shows all the candidates who have applied to your jobs or have been sourced by you or your team12.
• Auto-populate from a saved search: You can create a saved search based on certain criteria and assign it to a talent pool. This will automatically add any candidates who match the criteria to the talent pool13.
• Add from a Candidate Search: You can perform a candidate search using keywords, filters, or Boolean operators and add the search results to a talent pool14.

You cannot add candidates to a talent pool from an email campaign or allow candidates to add themselves. Email campaigns are used to communicate with candidates who are already in a talent pool1 . Candidates can only join a talent community, which is a broader group of candidates who have expressed interest in your company, but not a specific job or talent pool1 . References: SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration, Unit 5: Candidate Relationship Management, Lesson: Talent Pools, pages 5-3 to 5-9.

A standard XML feed is a predefined format of job data that can be used to distribute jobs to external job boards or aggregators. The following are associated with a standard XML feed:

• One standard XML feed is included in the statement of work for a standard recruiting implementation. This means that the customer can request one standard XML feed as part of the implementation project, without any additional cost or effort. The standard XML feed will include the default fields and attributes that are supported by Career Site Builder.
• The leading practice is to push the delivery of XML feeds using the FTP Scheduler in Command Center. This means that the customer can configure the frequency and timing of the XML feed delivery, and use the FTP Scheduler tool to automate the process of sending the XML feed file to the destination server. This ensures that the job data is updated regularly and consistently across the external sources. References: SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration, Unit 5: Job Delivery, Lesson: Job Delivery, Slide 13-14.

For sites with multiple brands, you can configure different content and category pages, and colors and images, to differentiate them on a Career Site Builder site. Content and category pages are pages that display custom content or job requisitions based on predefined criteria. You can create different content and category pages for each brand, and assign them to different domains or subdomains, to showcase the unique value proposition and opportunities of each brand. Colors and images are visual elements that affect the look and feel of your career site. You can customize the colors and images for each brand, and apply them to different themes or styles, to create a consistent and distinctive brand identity.

Data capture forms and locales are not elements that you can configure to differentiate brands on a Career Site Builder site. Data capture forms are forms that collect candidate information, such as name, email, resume, or consent. You can create different data capture forms for different purposes, such as applying for a job, joining a talent community, or registering for an event, but not for different brands. Locales are settings that determine the language, currency, date format, and other regional preferences of your career site. You can configure different locales for different countries or regions, but not for different brands. References:

When configuring Advanced Analytics, you need to map the applicant statuses from the Recruiting Management module to the corresponding statuses in the Advanced Analytics module. This allows you to track and report on the candidate journey and the effectiveness of your sourcing channels and campaigns. However, some applicant statuses do not need to be mapped, as they are either not relevant or automatically mapped by the system. These statuses are:

• Auto Disqualified: This status is assigned to candidates who fail to meet the minimum qualifications or pass the pre-screening questions. This status is automatically mapped to the Disqualified status in Advanced Analytics, and does not need to be manually mapped.
• Withdrawn by Candidate: This status is assigned to candidates who withdraw their application voluntarily. This status is not relevant for Advanced Analytics, as it does not reflect the recruiter’s actions or decisions.Therefore, it does not need to be mapped.

The other statuses, Invited to Apply and Forwarded, do need to be mapped, as they are important for measuring the candidate experience and the recruiter performance. The Invited to Apply status is assigned to candidates who are invited to apply for a job requisition by the recruiter. This status should be mapped to the Sourced status in Advanced Analytics, to indicate that the candidate was sourced by the recruiter.The Forwarded status is assigned to candidates who are forwarded to another job requisition by the recruiter. This status should be mapped to the Forwarded status in Advanced Analytics, to indicate that the candidate was moved to another opportunity. References:

To achieve this use case, you need to do the following:

• Create custom generic objects for Goods Sold and Store Size in the Metadata Framework (MDF). These objects will store the values for the attributes of the stores. You also need to create associations between these objects and the standard Location Foundation Object.
• Ensure that the location foundation object is enabled and that all required locations have been created in the Manage Data tool. You also need to assign values for Goods Sold and Store Size to each location.
• Edit the talent pool and select values for the additional attributes. You can use the standard filter fields in SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite to filter candidates by location, and then use the custom filter fields to filter candidates by Goods Sold and Store Size. You can also name the talent pool according to the attributes and their values.

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.

 Marketing brands and talent pool status sets are two of the Recruiting features that use generic objects. Generic objects are custom objects that can be created and configured in the Metadata Framework (MDF) to extend the functionality and the flexibility of the SAP SuccessFactors solutions. Generic objects can have their own fields, associations, rules, validations, and UI configurations. Some of the benefits of using generic objects are:

• They can be easily created and maintained by the administrators without coding or provisioning.
• They can be integrated with other SAP SuccessFactors modules and features, such as Role-Based Permissions, Reporting, and Intelligent Services.
• They can be updated and deployed without affecting the system performance or availability.

Marketing brands and talent pool status sets are examples of generic objects that are used in the Recruiting module to enhance the candidate experience and the recruiter efficiency. Marketing brands are generic objects that define the branding and the messaging of the customer’s organization to attract and engage the candidates. Marketing brandscan have different attributes, such as the brand name, the brand logo, the brand description, the brand color, the brand font, and the brand email signature. Marketing brands can be associated with other generic objects, such as job requisitions, email campaigns, and landing pages, to create a consistent and personalized candidate experience. Talent pool status sets are generic objects that define the stages and the actions of the candidate relationship management (CRM) process. Talent pool status sets can have different attributes, such as the status set name, the status set description, the status set type, and the status set values. Talent pool status sets can be associated with other generic objects, such as talent pools, talent pool candidates, and email templates, to manage and track the candidate pipeline and the communication.

The other two options are incorrect because:

• Recruiting teams are not generic objects, but rather standard objects that are predefined and configured in the Recruiting Management system. Recruiting teams are objects that define the roles and the responsibilities of the users who are involved in the recruiting process, such as the hiring manager, the recruiter, the interviewer, and the coordinator. Recruiting teams can be associated with other standard objects, such as job requisitions, job applications, and offer approvals, to assign and control the access and the actions of the users.
• Activity tracking is not a generic object, but rather a standard feature that is enabled and configured in the Provisioning system. Activity tracking is a feature that records and displays the activities and the interactions of the candidates and the recruiters throughout the recruiting process, such as the candidate views, the candidate applies, the recruiter emails, and the recruiter notes. Activity tracking can be integrated with other standard features, such as Reporting, Intelligent Services, and Email Notifications, to analyze and improve the candidate experience and the recruiter efficiency.

When internal career site is enabled, you can configure different settings and content for internal employees and external candidates on your Career Site Builder site. This allows you to tailor the candidate experience based on the audience and the business needs. Some of the differences that can be applied are:

• Internals and externals may be able to apply to different jobs: You can set up job requisitions to be visible only to internal employees, only to external candidates, or to both. This way, you can control who can view and apply to certain jobs based on their eligibility and suitability. You can also set up different application processes and forms for internals and externals, such as requiring different information or documents, or enabling different integrations or assessments.
• Internals and externals may see different page components: You can create different page components for internal employees and external candidates, such as banners, videos, testimonials, or forms. You can also assign different page components to different pages based on the audience, such as showing different messages or images on the home page, category page, or job details page. This way, you can customize the look and feel of your site and provide relevant and engaging content for each group.
• Internals and externals may see different headers and footers: This is not a correct answer, because the header and footer settings are global and apply to the entire site, regardless of the audience. You cannot create or assign different headers and footers for internal employees and external candidates. However, you can use the header and footer components to display different links or menus based on the audience, such as showing different career site pages, external sites, or internal resources.
• Internals and externals may see different job layouts: This is not a correct answer, because the job layout settings are also global and apply to the entire site, regardless of the audience. You cannot create or assign different job layouts for internal employees and external candidates. However, you can use the job layout components to display different information or actions based on the audience, such as showing different job details, apply buttons, or share options. References

 When using custom fonts in Career Site Builder, you must ensure that the customer has the legal right to use the font on their career site. This means that the customer must own the font license or have permission from the font owner. Uploading a custom font without a license may result in legal issues or penalties for the customer. Therefore, it is important to verify the font license before uploading it in Career Site Builder. References: SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience Administration, Unit 4: Career Site Builder Global Settings and Global Styles, Lesson: Configuring Fonts, Slide 6.

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.

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:

 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:

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.

System text is the text that is displayed by default on the Career Site Builder site, such as the text on the search bar, the buttons, the labels, and the messages. You can translate or change the system text on a Career Site Builder site by using the following methods:

• System text translations can be changed from Career Site Builder > Tools > Translations. This allows you to edit the system text for each language that is enabled on your site. You can also import or export the system text translations as CSV files1.
• System text translations are made from Career Site Builder > Global Settings. This allows you to change the system text for the default language of your site. You can also override the system text for specific pages or components2.
• System text is translated when the locale is enabled. This means that when you enable a new locale for your site, the system text will automatically be translated to the corresponding language, if available. You can also customize the system text translations for each locale3.

A content page is a type of page that can be created and edited in Career Site Builder, and it is used to display static or dynamic content, such as text, images, videos, or forms. A content page can be linked to other pages or external sites, and it can be customized withdifferent styles, components, and layouts. Some customers may choose to host some of their content pages externally, and link them with their CSB site, for various reasons, such as:

• They have existing content pages on their corporate website or intranet that they want to reuse or integrate with their CSB site, without duplicating or migrating them.
• They have complex or interactive content pages that require advanced coding or functionality that is not supported by CSB, such as animations, games, quizzes, or surveys.
• They have content pages that need to comply with specific legal or security requirements that are not met by CSB, such as data privacy, encryption, or authentication.

Some examples of content pages that are often hosted externally and linked with CSB sites are:

• About Us: This page provides information about the company’s history, vision, mission, values, and culture. It may also include testimonials, awards, or achievements of the company or its employees.
• Diversity and Inclusion: This page showcases the company’s commitment and efforts to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, and to support various groups and initiatives, such as women, veterans, LGBTQ+, or sustainability.
• Benefits: This page details the benefits and perks that the company offers to its employees, such as health insurance, retirement plan, wellness program, or employee discounts.
• Learning and Development: This page highlights the learning and development opportunities and resources that the company provides to its employees, such as training courses, certifications, mentoring, or career coaching.
• Events: This page lists the upcoming events that the company is hosting or participating in, such as webinars, career fairs, or networking sessions. It may also allow candidates to register or RSVP for the events. References

The Job Alerts Email Template is configured in the E-Mail Notification Templates Settings.This is where you can customize the content and appearance of the email that candidates receive when they subscribe to job alerts on the career site1.You can also specify the sender name, sender email address, subject line, and footer for the job alerts email2.

The other options are not correct places to configure the Job Alerts Email Template:

• Command Center: This is where you can manage the career site builder projects, sites, and settings, but not the email templates3.
• Recruiting Email Triggers: This is where you can configure the email notifications that are sent to candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers based on certain events or actions in the recruiting process, but not the job alerts email4.
• Career Site Builder: This is where you can design and build the career site pages, components, and styles, but not the email templates5.

• Option B is correct because when moving a Career Site Builder site to production, you need to export four XML files: Site Settings, Career Site Builder Settings, Category pages, and Translations1. These files contain the configuration and content of your site, such as the site name, URL, logo, theme, layout, language, categories, and pages1.
• Option A is incorrect because Content pages and Job Layouts are not required to export for the move to production. Content pages are automatically generated from the Category pages, and Job Layouts are part of the Career Site Builder Settings1.
• Option C is incorrect because Candidate Profile is not an XML file that can be exported from Career Site Builder. Candidate Profile is a feature that allows candidates to create and manage their profiles on the career site.
• Option D is incorrect because Content pages are not required to export for the move to production, as explained above.

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.
