Function Modules and non-PI services to create a front-end to E-Recruiting

[Former Member]

I have looked quite a bit throughout the forums and via Google and am having a hard time answering this question. I'm positive I'm not the first to ask this. Anyway, our business users are not too keen on the look and feel of the WebDynpros or BSP's that are available via the E-Recruiting system. They would like to really change the look and feel of the application. Is there any document discussing how to change the look and feel of the External Facing job board and application process? I have not been able to find a cookbook or anything related to this. I could dig through a bunch of code and work my way back, but their has to be a better way.

I'm looking for either a how-to guide that discusses to what extent the look and feel of the screen can change and/or what are the services/function modules that are being used for the external candidate (create candidate, list jobs, show job details, apply for jobs, etc.). Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

am not a techie so cannot answer your question in earnst but I know exactly how youfel about e-rec looka nd feel so adding my two pence:

1. when discussing e-rec it is imp to mentione the version below version 6 it was bsp 6 onwardsit is webdynpro.

2. before we discuss code changes, what is the extent of 'look and feel' change your clientwants? can that be addresed via the portal-theme by way of developing a flashy new css based theme? thatmakes life easy for everybody involved and also makes the entire nw portal flasy not just the outward facing job portal... at a comparitively low cost...

3. If the answer to abovepoint is a 'no' I guess the only option is to go-a-code-dredging,..

good luck.

We are currently on ERECRUIT 604 SP7. In terms of look and feel, it's not just the color scheme and images that they are not crazy about. It also is the blocky layout of the search criteria, the web dynpro table and it's speed when there is a long list of jobs to scroll through. I'm curious how the Portal theming would help since this is not running through a portal, but instead just hooked directly into the Erecruiting server launching the webdynpro (hrrcf_a_unreg_job_search) directly. From what I understand, we are very limited in how we can customize the layout of the web dynpro ABAP in terms of look and feel (placement of elements, fonts, etc.).
