Symptom
When testing the job data via Google test tools, some information from the Job Postings is not being passed to Google which returns missing field errors.
RMK jobs are not picked up by Google for Jobs.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing
Resolution
Our Engineering team has improved the structure of the jobs to better align with Google's job structure.
Currently, the meta data required by Google is included in Standard RMK job layouts. This includes the following:
- datePosted
- description
- hiringOrganization
- jobLocation
- title
- validThrough
Note that for Custom Job layouts, the relevant job tokens need to be added to the layouts to match these fields or they will be missing for Google. This includes job description, title, location.
Following a recent deployed fix we now have a Job Token "Date" to add to custom layouts. This will send the required datePosted to Google.
For hiringOrganization though no Job Token is available (cannot be added as visible element on the layout). It is always automatically included but it appears in the source as <meta itemprop="hiringOrganization"></span> so it is not visible on the HTML page.
As to the source of this info, it is populated by the value in the field Company Name from CSB / Site configuration.
with B2011, the last of the improvements have been done and the structured search should be satisfied, including the address section under jobLocation.
