Explanation of term

The desired location is a field intended for use in unsolicited job openings. By selecting a desired location in the application questionnaire, applicants can indicate for which location(s) their application is relevant.


Configuration

Desired locations can be created in the master data under locations.


System behavior

  • Settings in the application questionnaire
    The question about the desired location can be displayed to applicants in the application form.
    In the application questionnaire, this field can be shown or hidden and set as a mandatory field.
  • Settings in the job opening
    In the job opening, the desired location field can be displayed using the field schema configuration. Afterward, desired locations can be selected when creating or editing the job opening.
  • Organizational unit
    The desired locations from the master data are available for selection, which are on the same organizational level or higher.
  • Visibility for applicants
    Applicants will only see the desired locations selected in the job opening in the application questionnaire. If no desired location is selected in the job opening, applicants can choose from all locations created in your system.
  • Adjusting the application overview
    In the application overview, the field schema configuration can be adjusted so that the card with the applications also displays the desired location. In the application, this information is found in the Application card.
  • Filtering
    The application list can be filtered by the desired location.
  • Changes
    If you rename a desired location, the change will immediately be visible everywhere the desired location is displayed.
  • Deletion
    You can delete the location at any time. If it has already been selected, it will remain in the application, and filtering by it will still be possible. However, the location can no longer be newly selected by you or applicants for an application.


How our customers use this

Many customers use the field as originally intended, to allow applicants in unsolicited job openings to specify the city where they want to apply. Some customers also use the field for collective job openings, such as for trainees, where multiple locations are possible in the job opening. This allows applicants to narrow their application to locations relevant to them.
