Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

In SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting: Candidate Experience, Career Site Builder (CSB) is a fully hosted solution for career sites, but some customers maintain supplemental career-related content on external sites (e.g., their corporate website) and link it to CSB. Let’s analyze why “Content page” is the most common type hosted externally:

Option A (Content page): Correct. Content pages, such as “About Us,” “Company Culture,” or “Benefits,” provide static, informational content about the employer. These are frequently hosted on a customer’s corporate site because they align with broader branding efforts and may already exist outside the CSB scope. Linking these to CSB ensures candidates can access detailed company info without duplicating it in CSB.

SAP Documentation Excerpt: From the Career Site Builder Administration Guide: “Customers often maintain content pages, such as ‘About Us’ or ‘Our Values,’ on their externally hosted corporate websites. These can be linked from the CSB site via external type links in the header or footer to provide candidates with additional employer information.”

Reasoning: Imagine a company like “Best Run Corp.” Their CSB site (careers.bestrun.com) focuses on job listings, but their corporate site (www.bestrun.com ) has an “About Us” page detailing their history. A header link in CSB to this external content page enhances the candidate experience without overloading CSB with non-job content.

Practical Example: In a multi-brand scenario, a customer might link to a corporate “Diversity” page to reinforce their employer brand consistently across platforms.

Option B (Map page): Incorrect. A “Map page” isn’t a standard CSB page type. While CSB integrates Google Maps for job locations, customers rarely host standalone map pages externally, as this functionality is embedded within CSB’s search experience.

Option C (Landing page): Incorrect. Landing pages in CSB are campaign-specific (e.g., for a hiring event) and typically hosted within CSB to leverage data capture forms and job links. External landing pages are less common for career info.

Option D (Category page): Incorrect. Category pages (e.g., “Sales Jobs”) display job listings and are core to CSB’s purpose. Hosting them externally defeats CSB’s job-centric design.
