Managing company locations
Your locations are the sites you recruit for — each care home, branch or office. Every job is posted against one, so getting them right decides where your adverts appear, where interviews are held and how your roles look on external job boards. This covers adding a location, changing one, and taking one out of use.
Before you begin
- Have the address to hand, including the postcode. The system looks the address up rather than taking it on trust.
- Decide the name before you start. Use the name your team uses for the site — it appears on the advert and in every job list from then on.
- Know whether interviews happen there. There is a setting for it, and getting it wrong sends candidates to the wrong place.
Steps
From the dashboard, select Settings, then Locations. The submenu offers Locations and Units — choose Locations.
The Settings menu expanded, with Locations selected and its submenu showing Locations and Units.
The Locations page lists every site on your account, with its country, logo, colour, name, report type, address, whether it is an interview location, and its job board settings. The count beside the heading tells you how many you have.
The Company Locations list, showing each site with its address and job board controls.
To add a site, select Add New Location. A panel opens on the right. Fill in Name this location, choose the Country, type the address into Your Address and select Find address. Pick the match from the list, then select Confirm.
If the lookup cannot find the address, turn on Edit your address manually and type it in yourself. Use this for new builds and rural sites, which often are not in the lookup yet.
To change or retire an existing site, open the Actions menu at the end of its row. You get three choices: Edit, Disable and Remove.
The Actions menu open on a location row, showing Edit, Disable and Remove.
Select Edit to change the name, address, colour or logo. Select Disable to take the site out of use while keeping its history. Select Remove only if the site was created in error.
What happens next
The location becomes available when posting a job. Jobs already attached to a location you have edited pick up the new details; jobs attached to a disabled location stay where they are.
Disable rather than remove
Disabling takes a site out of the list for new jobs but keeps every job, candidate and interview that ever sat against it. Removing breaks that history, and in a care setting that history is part of your audit trail. If a home closes, disable it.
Common problems
A new site is not appearing when I post a job.
Check it is not disabled. Disabled locations stay on the Locations page but are not offered when creating a job.
The address lookup cannot find our site.
Turn on Edit your address manually and enter it directly. New developments are often missing from the lookup.
Our roles are not showing on the job boards for one site.
Each location carries its own job board settings. Use Edit job boards on that location's row and check the boards are switched on there, not just at company level.
Candidates are being sent to the wrong place for interview.
Check whether the location is set as an interview location. A site that never hosts interviews should have that turned off so it is not offered when booking.
We have several sites at one address.
Use Units rather than separate locations. Units sit underneath a location and are designed for exactly this.
