# Set Job Location

Define the physical or remote location of your role so job boards and candidates know where the position is based.

### **Overview**

The Job Location section ensures that your posting includes the necessary geographic details. Location fields are **required if you publish to job boards**, since most boards need city, state, country, and postal code—even for remote jobs. The only optional field is the street address.

## **How to Set Job Location:**

### **1\. Access Location Settings**

-   From your dashboard, click **Create Job Post** (or open an existing draft).

-   Choose from: Full-Time, Part-Time, Contract, Temporary, or Other.

-   Required for job boards: City, State, Country, and Postal Code.
-   Optional: Street Address (can provide more precise detail but is not required).

### **4\. Mark the Job as Remote (Optional)**

-   Toggle the option to mark the job as **Remote**.

**Note:** Even with remote roles, city, state, country, and postal code are still required because not all job boards accept a “remote only” flag.

### **5\. Automatic Publishing Rule**

-   If your job description is **at least 100 characters**, the “Publish to Job Boards” option will be automatically checked.
-   When checked, the job will be distributed to integrated job boards once you click **Publish and Continue**.

## **Why This Matters**

-   Ensures compatibility with job boards that require standardized location data.
-   Improves searchability and discoverability of your job posts.
-   Provides candidates with clear expectations on whether the role is in-person, hybrid, or remote.

## **Use Cases**

-   You’re hiring for a fully remote role but still need job board visibility.
-   You want to clearly differentiate between office-based and contract roles.
-   You’re managing postings across multiple locations and need structured filtering.

## **Best Practices**

-   Always fill in city, state, country, and postal code—even for remote jobs.
-   Mention “remote” in the job description text as well, since not all job boards display the remote flag consistently.
-   Keep the street address blank if you don’t want to display the exact office location publicly.

## **What Happens Next**

-   Once saved, your job location details will display on your Discovered career page.
-   If the posting is published to job boards, your location information will be passed along automatically.
-   Candidates can filter jobs by location, improving match quality.
