Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

• SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing
• Career Site Builder

• The Picklist Search feature allows customers to add filter options for candidates in the job search bar based on existing job data
• Once configured, these options are accessible on the search bar by clicking on the "More Options" link
  
  

Configuration:

1. Open the CSB configuration
2. Select Appearance menu
3. Select Global menu
4. Select Search tab
5. Set control "PickList Search Enabled" to YES
6. Click on "+ Add" to add required fields

Available Fields:

The following standard fields are available:

• Department
• Location
• Language
• Title
• City
• State
• Country
• Zip
• Facility
• Shift Type
• Dept
• Job Locale
• Reference Date
• Brand
• Custom Fields 1-5

Customizations:

• Once the desired fields are added, they can be moved up and down in the display order using the arrow icons
• Custom translations for the fields may also be added. To do so:

1. Click the squares icon to the right of the displayed field name to customize the field name
2. Enter the desired display name for the field in the Override Text box

No other customization such as replacing picklist type field by a free text field for instance, is possible.

Additionaly, the picklist search options cannot be configured to appear immediately. The user must click on the "More Options" link in order to view more search fields. Even if the enhancement request has been raised, this behavior will not be changed. However, the new career site search functionality is integrated within the Unified Data Model.

How the Data is Populated:

• The respective picklists on the search page populate with available data from jobs on the RMK site and values will be displayed in the alphabetical order

Note: Values come from actual RMK posted jobs and not from the full list of picklist options in the corresponding RCM picklists

• Please take care when modifying picklists in RCM as deleted picklist values might result in field values appearing as Option ids in RMK

Note: There is no Parent/Child relation possible between the picklists so all options will always be available separately regardless of the previous picklist selection. Also, there is no possibility to select several values at the same time in the list

Note: It's not possible to add the values according to each brand. As Search Options is a Global feature it will always display values for all brands.

Job Search Options vs Search Grid Columns:

• The two are displayed and configured differently and do not offer the same options
  

• Only the following fields are natively available to be added as columns in the search grid:
• Title (always required)
• Date
• Department
• Facility
• Location
• Shift Type
• State
• These are not drop down menus, but text fields to be manually populated
• It is possible to repurpose some of these fields to map to different ones and change their label accordingly, but this is not recommended as it could have downstream consequences (for example for Advanced Analytics)

Configuring the Search Grid Options:

1. Open the CSB configuration
2. Under Appearance, select Search Results
3. Select Relevance Columns
4. Click on + Add to add required fields
5. Other display options are also available, such as:

• Number of Records Per Page
• Pagination Location
• etc. all explained in the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Implementation Guide

Note: Options will be slightly different if "Use Search Result Tiles" is enabled under Search Details/General

Note: The relevance columns are not visible for candidate using a mobile device. As such, they are not configurable in CSB for mobile. AThe same relevance columns will be displayed for both the external and internal career site.

Please note that search options and configuration will be different when the Unified Data Model is enabled. For more information see New Career Site Search.
