Job Locations Section

The Job Locations section stores physical workplaces that can be selected when creating or editing a job.

From this section you can:

  • View saved locations.
  • Create a new location.
  • Edit an existing location.
  • Review the address used by a job.
  • Reuse one location on multiple job postings.

A Job Location is an internal Careers record. It does not create a public job page by itself.

Create one record for each physical workplace that may be used on office or hybrid job postings.

Create a Job Location

  1. Open Careers → Job Locations.
  2. Select Add New.
  3. Enter the location information.
  4. Check the address.
  5. Select Save.

The location becomes available in the Location field when creating or editing a job.

Location Information

Location Name

Enter a name that identifies the workplace in the WordPress admin.

Examples include:

  • Kelowna Office
  • Vancouver Warehouse
  • Toronto Service Centre

This field is required.

Street Address

Enter the street address where employees report.

This field is required.

City

Enter the city for the workplace.

This field is required.

State/Province

Select the state or province for the selected country.

This field is required. The available choices depend on the selected country.

Zip/Postal Code

Enter the postal or ZIP code for the address.

This field is required.

Country/Region

Select the country or region where the workplace is located.

This field is required and is used when Kraken Careers validates job locations and prepares supported feed information.

Address Accuracy

Use a complete, current address for each physical workplace.

The location should match the workplace described in the job posting and any external feed that receives the job.

Do not use a company headquarters address when the job is performed at another workplace.

Use a Location on a Job

When creating or editing a job:

  1. Open Careers → Jobs.
  2. Open the job.
  3. Find the Job Location section.
  4. Select the physical workplace under Location.
  5. Save the job.

Office and hybrid jobs require a physical location with a country.

A job can use more than one location when the role is available at several workplaces and the enabled feed supports multiple locations.

If the Indeed feed is enabled, use one physical location per job. Create separate job postings when the same position is available at multiple workplaces.

See Create a Job.

Fully Remote Jobs

A fully remote job does not require a physical Job Location.

When creating the job:

  1. Set Remote Work to Fully Remote.
  2. Select a Remote Eligible Country.
  3. Select an optional Remote Eligible State/Region when required.
  4. Save the job.

The eligible country describes where applicants must live while performing the role. It is separate from the company address.

The selected state or region must belong to the selected country.

Edit or Remove a Location

Edit a Location

  1. Open Careers → Job Locations.
  2. Select the location.
  3. Update the address fields.
  4. Select Save.

Changes affect every job using that location. Review those job postings after changing an address.

Remove a Location

Before removing a location, check which jobs use it.

Edit those jobs and select another location, or change the job to fully remote when appropriate.

Do not remove a location that is still required by an office or hybrid job.

Check a Location

After saving, open a job that uses the location and confirm that:

  • The location can be selected.
  • The city and country are correct.
  • The public job shows the intended workplace.
  • The address matches current company records.
  • Any enabled feed uses the correct location.

Troubleshooting

The Location Will Not Save

Check that all required fields are complete:

  • Location Name
  • Street Address
  • City
  • State/Province
  • Zip/Postal Code
  • Country/Region

Choose a state or province that belongs to the selected country, then save again.

The State or Province Is Not Available

Check the Country/Region field first.

Select the country, then choose a matching state or province.

The Location Is Not Available on a Job

Confirm that the location was saved successfully.

Reload the job editor after creating a new location. If it still does not appear, check that your account can manage Job Locations.

An Office or Hybrid Job Has No Location

Set the job to Office Only or Hybrid Remote, then select a physical location under Location.

The location must include a country.

A Fully Remote Job Requires a Physical Location

Set Remote Work to Fully Remote and select Remote Eligible Country.

A physical workplace is not required for a fully remote job.

The Wrong Address Appears on a Job

Open the selected Job Location and review its saved address.

If several locations have similar names, edit the job and select the correct record. Save the job after changing the selection.

Indeed Rejects the Location

The Indeed feed supports one physical location for a job.

Select one location or create separate job postings for each workplace. Confirm that the location includes a valid country.

The Location Is Updated but the Public Job Is Unchanged

Confirm that the location changes were saved and that the job is using that location record.

Clear page or site cache, then reload the public job page. Request the feed again if the job is sent to an external platform.
