ALL GEO LOCATIONS MUST INCLUDE A POSTCODE OR THE JOB WILL NOT INDEX ON THE WEBSITE

Not all users have the ability to add locations. This is restricted to the users access rights.

Please request access right "Job locations administrator" is added to any user you would like to have access to manage your organisations locations.

"Various Locations"
Do not create single coverall locations called "Various" - this was only justified when you could only select one location.

The location filter on myjobscotland uses the post code to map the location. If candidates have set up job alerts or a searching the website within set radius, jobs linked to a single location called "various" will only display to candidates searching near to the one post code you have to assigned.

To improve the candidate experience and make the best from the feature, please add each possible location to the requisition.

An alternative if you really don't want to select all individual locations you could consider creating localised areas within your organisations job locations.

For example, Perth and Kinross Council could create a location titled "Pitlochry Area" and "Kinross Area" each with postcodes central to the area titled. Then PKC could add both locations to the job and both postcodes would be used when a candidate searches by location.

Any "Various" location will be deleted. There are no exceptions.

A user with the appropriate permission can add locations in two ways:

Within the Job Requisition Wizard

Within the job location field, users with access will see a "+" 

Users who do not have access do not see  "+"

The "+" icon will load a pop-up where users can search for locations on a map or manually type the address. Once saved this is added to your library of locations.

Location Management

To manage your locations out with a job, users can go to System Administration > Manage Job Locations

In the top right, you will see a blue "Add New Location" button.

If you wish to edit a current location, you can search for the location, then select the three dots on the right and select from the options.

NOTES:-

• Users who can add locations also have access to edit and delete them. Please consider this when agreeing which users should be assigned access.
  
• There is no limit to the number of locations you can assign to the job. 

We have raised an idea with CSOD suggesting they introduce the ability to 'group' locations to make it easier to add in bulk however this is not on the current roadmap.
