Hi Samiur! Is there a reason why Preferred Location does not automatically populate on a job post that is just one location?

A new variable has been added for Location Preference which uses the candidate's stated location preference.

Hi Emily Swift thanks for the suggestion. We could very likely do this but there is an issue here which has stopped us. A position can have multiple locations, like some of yours do for example. And adding a variable for location would only pick the primary location. That reduces the utility of this feature signficantly. We haven't been able to solve for this problem but would be happy to hear any alternative suggestions around this.

Samiur Rahman Is there a way to include a variable of "Preferred Location" which would be the location the candidate picks when they complete the application and if it's not multi-site, the preferred location would be the only location?

Samiur Rahman
Emily Swift yes I think that's much more doable. I'll reopen this ticket and put this into our queue.

Samiur Rahman Tagging on to simply say this would be extremely useful for my organization as well.

Hubert Murias thanks Hubert. We are actively researching this. I will update on this thread as we make progress.
