Configure Organizational Locations and Mapping

Before You Begin: This section describes how make locations from your organizational hierarchy available for recruiters to post jobs to. In addition to organizational locations, the system also allows recruiters to post jobs directly to Google Maps locations. Google Maps locations don’t require configuration.

Recruiting can use locations from your organizational hierarchy in job postings. Moreover, in internal and external client career site postings, locations that you select are displayed in an embedded Google Maps control:

In External Board (that is, eQuest) postings, exact posting location is displayed:

Google Maps Integration

Recruiting comes integrated with Google Maps, and no additional configuration is required.

Define Address and Public Name for Locations

Before you can use a location from your organization in job postings and Google Maps, you need to configure the Address section of Org Setup > Organization.

To do this:

1. Go to Org Setup > Organization and click the Organization tab.
2. Select a location. The location properties slide-out panel opens.
3. Click the Address tab.
4. Enter the address for the location using the provided fields.
5. The address information you enter here is passed to Google Maps. If the address information entered either returns no mapping results or more than one result, the location won't be displayed on the map in the posting.
6. To prevent incorrect or multiple mapping results, ensure that the Address fields (that is, address lines one and two) follow the format used by the national postal service of the country concerned. For additional guidelines, see the "How should I format my geocoder queries to maximize the number of successful requests?" question on the Google Maps FAQ page.
7. To easily verify that the address meets Google's guidelines, test it in Google Maps before using it in a posting. Specifically, type the address information in the Google Maps search field until only one distinct result is returned in the auto suggest drop-down list:
8. 
5. Define the Public Name field with a name that candidates will intuitively recognize as the exact location they are applying to, such as a mall (for example, Cambridge Mall), office building (for example, North York Center), and building address (for example, 4110 Yonge Street).
6. The Public Name field is mandatory to use a location in job postings.
7. Unlike other address information, the address you enter in the Public Name fields isn’t passed to Google Maps, so you can define any value you like without impacting mapping results.
6. Click Save.
7. The location is added under the Location field for Careers, Client Careers Site and External Board postings wizards, where it's listed by the value defined in the Public Name field from step 3, above.

Localize Public Locations

It's currently not possible to localize public location names through the Dayforce user interface; as such, this must be performed by Dayforce Support.
