Manage System - Locations

Locations serve as a secondary filtering option on the Current Openings page.

It is recommended to create locations as CITY, STATE or COUNTY, STATE. All current openings on OnShift Employ are automatically aggregated to National Labor Exchange and Indeed.com job boards. Listing a location as “Company Name” or “Billing Office” or "headquarters" not only prevents current openings from indexing properly to these job boards, but reduces your company’s current openings from topping search engine results.

Companies with a centrally located headquarters should use the preferred location format.

Avoid duplicate city names. Duplicate city names may congest filters and reporting. Companies/Facilities should use the same location name, when possible.
