Multi-location postings enable you to streamline your recruiting activities by publishing a single job with one pipeline in multiple locations. With multi-location posting, you can:
- Add up to 6 locations on a job
- Advertise the job to all selected locations across all available job boards
- List the (single) job with all visible locations on your careers page and Referrals portal
- Filter candidates on the Pipeline view by candidate location

The job description is the same for all locations.

- Candidate profile/pipeline view
-
While viewing candidates in the pipeline view, you can filter the candidate list by location. The location filter will use the candidates' actual location from resume data, geolocation data or phone number rather than their location preference.
The filter will enable you to search for candidates who are located in one or more cities/states/countries or who are not (via the 'Hide candidates in selected locations' box).
FAQs
- Can I update job locations after the job is published?
Yes, you can edit the job anytime and add or remove locations. Note that it can take up to 24 hours for the changes to be reflected to all available job boards.
- Does API support multiple locations?
Yes, the GET /jobs and GET /jobs:shortcode endpoints will also return a locations array that lists information about all job locations.
- How is the candidate's location determined?
A candidate's location is determined by multiple location sources: Resume, Application form, Social profiles, and IP. Hover over the location in the profile header to see the source of the location, and if you find it inaccurate, make edits to it.
- Can applicants indicate their preferred location when applying for jobs?
Candidates applying to a job with multiple locations cannot natively declare their job location of preference or apply for a specific location. This feature will be provided in a future release. To capture candidates' location preferences, you can add custom questions on your application forms.
- What is the implication of multiple locations in data retention settings?
Candidates who have applied to a job with a location that is subject to GDPR will be deleted if any of the job locations are in the GDPR zone.
- What is the implication of multiple locations in HRIS system integrations?
If you have integrated with HRIS systems (such as BambooHR), you can export your hired candidates (either automatically or manually) to the HRIS system. During the export process, the integration will use the first job location as the HRIS location.
