How do I change the front page?

Hello everyone.

The challenge: Change front page of Recruiter to a custom page.

Solution: Go to /admin/config/system/site-information, set "Default front page" to "my-front-page" (created earlier), click "Save configuration". Clear all caches for good measure.

Expected result: Anyone who lands on my-recruiter-site.com should see my-front-page.

Actual result: Anyone who lands on my-recruiter-site.com keeps seeing the out-of-the-box page.

Please advise. Thank you.
