Frequently asked questions
A geocode is a code that represents a geographic location (latitude and longitude coordinates) which can be used to identify a company’s location on the Job Map.
An out of region employer is one whose address and geo coordinates fall outside of your configured service area, though they have recruited in your region at some point.
In some cases, the address for these Company records may need updating to a local branch or subsidiary office and re-geocoded to fit within your service area. In others it may simply be an out-of-region employer that recruits locally.
On the Job Map:
Pins or markers outside the designated area (outlined in blue) are considered “Out of Region.”
On the Edit Employer screen:
If an employer’s geo-coordinates fall outside your service region, you’ll see the message: “Out of Region. The location of this record indicates this employer is outside of the configured region.” This message will appear on the Edit Employer Record screen.
