My requirement was for the Client to create a Landing Page where they are running a campaign aimed at collecting University student’s profiles for Internship and Graduate Programs. Instead of creating a specific position, a QR code has been provided and printed on a banner. Candidates can scan this code and upload their resumes, which will automatically build a database.

Tip: You can use a QR Converter tool available online and use the URL from step 3.5 to convert the URL.

There are numerous other use cases where Landing Pages play a pivotal role in Recruiting Marketing. As a company that has implemented SAP SuccessFactors recruiting, it is essential to gather organic and genuine candidates for skill mapping, maintaining diversity, networking, and for future opportunities.
