Job post location is a required field for all job posts in Greenhouse Recruiting and allows job post creators to tie a role to a unique location. This location will appear on your careers page.
By default, the job post location field is a free text field where job post creators can input any value. Alternatively, organizations can enable structured job post locations on a per-job-board basis to maintain data integrity and control which locations can be selected for any given job post.
In this article, we will cover how to configure the two structured job post location types: organization offices and custom location lists.
Note: The following instructions are also applicable for internal job boards (if applicable).
To get started, navigate to the Configure Job Boards page. (Configure icon > Job Boards & Posts)
Find and edit the job board. (Ellipsis icon > Edit Board Settings)
On the Edit Your Job Board page, find the section Manage locations users can select for job posts.
To make your job posts more structured, choose either Organization offices or Create a custom list. See the sections below for more information.
After choosing an option, scroll to the bottom of the page, then click Save.
Organization offices
If Organization offices is selected, the job post location field will only populate a dropdown menu of your organization's offices.
Note: The specific location for each office is pulled from the Configure > Organization > Office > Location field. If the office does not have a configured Location field, Greenhouse Recruiting will default to the Office name.
If a pre-existing job post remains unedited, the free text version of the job post location will still appear on your job posts. However, users will be unable to edit a pre-existing job post without selecting one of the new structured job post location options.
Create a Custom List
If Create a Custom List is selected, the job post location field will only populate a dropdown menu of options entered into the provided field.
Note: Every location should be entered on a separate line.
If a pre-existing job post remains unedited, the free text version of the job post location will still appear on your job posts. However, users will be unable to edit a pre-existing job post without selecting one of the new structured job post location options.
