Configure Event Location Search

You can decide which location search modes are available for candidates.When you enable the ability to search for events by location, candidates can search for events in locations where jobs may be potentially posted.

Candidates can search by:

• My Location
• Postal Code
• Distance
• Radius search (supported for all location search modes)

Note: Distance isn't calculated for virtual events because they don't have a physical location. Virtual events aren't returned in location search.
