Symptom
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental
- The Job Board Name column is part of the Referral Program feature. This can be visible on ad-hoc report under the Referral section:
- The Job Board Name contains all the job board values that are returned if eQuest integration is used and all the values passed back from the jobPipeline parameter in the application URL.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Resolution
JobPipeline parameter
- The jobPipleline parameter is a way to store the source from external portals or job boards that wants to be addressed in the ad-report. The mechanism is pretty technical but basically if in a URL for the job requisition description like this:
https://career4.successfactors.com/career?career_ns=job_listing&company=COMPANYNAME&navBarLevel=JOB_SEARCH&rcm_site_locale=en_US&career_job_req_id=40121 - Is added the parameter jobPipeline=myownsource for example:
https://career4.successfactors.com/career?career_ns=job_listing&company=COMPANYNAME&navBarLevel=JOB_SEARCH&rcm_site_locale=en_US&career_job_req_id=40121&jobPipeline=Indeed - Then the value for this parameter is stored in the SuccessFactors database.
- The max length of the jobPipeline is 100 characters
Indeed Job Board
- Indeed is a portal that is doing this kind of action quite often and for free on SuccessFactors customer external websites. Indeed is adding “Indeed” as value for the jobPipeline parameter and this value is often visible in ad-hoc report in the Job Board Name column.
Reporting
These values are also visible in the Source field in the Application section:
- It can happen that for a mistake a candidate adds some more characters to the jobPipeline parameter. This can happen if there is a copy and paste of the URL. If this happens in ad-hoc report can appear values with strange characters. This is expected behavior even if not a desirable one.
