Symptom
- Transition from single-source XML feed to multi-source XML feed required by April 1, 2026, for Indeed job postings.
- Current single-source XML feed provided by Eightfold is incompatible with Indeed's new requirements.
- Risk of job postings losing visibility on Indeed if transition is not completed.
- Eightfold's multi-source XML feed is only available from its own ATS, not from SuccessFactors.
Environment
Job Boards/Schools Management
Reproducing the Issue
NA
Cause
Recruiting posting has RPO has 1 integration xml with Indeed, this is a multi source feed, however it is only for Sponsored jobs not the organic feed (free feed).
Also, we can redirect to eightfold if they want to, but this needs a little bit of development within SF, where they will need to set a field in their job req template that autopopulate the application URL that we (RPO) will pass on Indeed
Resolution
- Enable the multi-source XML feed in SuccessFactors:
- Navigate to Admin Center → Manage Recruiting Posting.
- Validate that the Indeed XML feed is enabled with the multi-source XML endpoint.
- Create a custom field in the job requisition template to store the Eightfold Apply URL:
- Example: `cust_eightfoldApplyURL`.
- Map the custom field into the XML feed:
- In the "XML Template for Indeed", map `{cust_eightfoldApplyURL}`.
- This ensures that applications are redirected to Eightfold instead of SuccessFactors RCM.
- Coordinate with Eightfold to:
- Provide the unique job apply URL.
- Push the URL back into SuccessFactors via API or manual sync.
- Confirm acceptance of external apply traffic.
- Coordinate with SAP Support to:
- Validate the XML schema.
- Ensure correct posting behavior.
- Confirm proper synchronization of job status (open/closed).
- Prevent duplication issues between Eightfold and SuccessFactors postings.
