"Pre-filtered" URLs for Standard Career Sections Redirect Candidates to Mobile Career Sections
When candidates using a mobile device click links to "pre-filtered" searches on a standard career section for which Faceted search is enabled, the candidates are redirected to the associated mobile career section and a Faceted search using the same search parameters is performed.
Customers have long been able to create URLs to specific career section pages (Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Career Section URLs) including URLs to the Basic and Advanced search pages and add the URLs to career sections (Configuration > [Career Section] Administration > Career Sections > (click career section) > [Career Section URL] Show), email correspondence, image maps, etc. It is not possible to create a URL to a Faceted search page using the same method.
This section explains how to create URL links to specific Faceted searches. It also explains a related feature for mobile device users. When candidates using a mobile device click such links to Faceted searches on a standard career section, they will be redirected to the mobile career section (providing one is associated with the standard career section). A Faceted search using the same search parameters specified in the URL will run automatically in the mobile career section and a list of jobs that satisfies the Faceted search criteria will be displayed in the job list.
Configuration
Career Section administrators first create a fictitious candidate (one with a user name and password), then perform the Faceted search they plan to create a URL for, and save the search.
They can later retrieve and run the saved Faceted search and copy the URL that is generated. The following example of such a URL is loosely based on the previous screenshot:
where LOCATION(50437) represents the Quebec (City) area, JOB_FIELD(150000) represents the Computer and Mathematics Job Field category and LOCATION=1038 represents Canada in the Location field in the top bar.
Administrators keep the URL up to and including "&ignoreSavedQuery" while deleting whatever follows. In our example, administrators would delete &sasNo=20116751886 and the edited URL to be copied would read:
https://your15Azone.taleo.net/careersection/10020/jobsearch.ftl?f=LOCATION(50437)|JOB_FIELD(150000)&LOCATION=1038&a=null&multiline=false&ignoreSavedQuery
It is this "shortened" URL that administrators would use when creating a URL. The "shortened" URL could be included in an email sent to candidates or added as a hotspot to an image map on the organization's Web site. When candidates clicked the link or hotspot, they would be redirected to the specific career section, the Faceted search would run automatically and a list of jobs that satisfied the Faceted search criteria (e.g.: Location: "Canada", Job Field: "Computer and Mathematics", and "Quebec (City)" area) would be displayed in the job list.
When candidates using a mobile device click such links to Faceted searches on a standard career section, they will be redirected to the mobile career section (providing one is associated with the standard career section). A Faceted search using the same search parameters specified in the URL will run automatically in the mobile career section and a list of jobs that satisfies the Faceted search criteria will be displayed in the job list.
