The following provides an overview of additional Job Search feature logic that is either built-in by default or can be configured under the right conditions.
When candidates use job search, the system follows the below location logic to determine the job(s) to share:
- If one job location matches the location mentioned, then the system will return the jobs matched.
- If multiple job locations match the location mentioned AND Multiple Location Matching is enabled, then we will show a list of locations for the candidate to select from to narrow the search parameter.
- If multiple job locations match the location mentioned AND Multiple Location Matching is not enabled, then we will choose a location based on the candidate’s IP address OR get the first location if we cannot get the candidate’s location.
- If no job locations match the location mentioned AND Multiple Location Matching enabled, then we will show a list of suggested locations.
- If no job locations match the location mentioned AND Multiple Location Matching is not enabled, then we will attempt to resolve a single location.
The location name that will display will be based on the closest match to the candidate’s search term or the preferred location:
- Location Name (e.g.: “Scottsdale, AZ..+ (n) locations”)
- Location City (e.g.: “Scottsdale..+ (n) locations”)
- Full Location (e.g.: “Scottsdale, AZ 85967 + (n) locations”)
- Location State (e.g.: “Arizona + (n) locations”)

Will my AI Assistant recognize terms in relation to the candidate's zip code?
