Enable Job Search on a Map

You can configure external career sites so that external candidates can explore jobs available using Oracle Maps. Posted jobs are pinned on the map, giving candidates a nice visual way to see job locations.

By default, job search results appear in a list. When you enable the map view, two kinds of icons indicate the location of jobs.
  • Pin: Indicates a single location with one or more jobs. When a candidate clicks the pin, location name is listed, followed by a list of job titles.
  • Circle: Indicates a cluster of job locations in an area. When a candidate clicks the circle icon, it zooms into a map location and displays job locations that are near each other.
Candidates can also click a job title to see the job details page. They can optionally copy the job location address to their clipboard and paste it in a browser search bar to search for more info about the job location.

The map shows the jobs matching the search criteria (keyword and location) based on the geo-coordinates returned for those jobs. If a job has work locations, the geo-coordinates for those work locations are considered in the map view. If the job doesn't have a work location, the geo-coordinates of the posting locations are used instead. In this case, only city level posting locations are considered. State level or country level locations won't be displayed on the map.

You can also configure the career site to let candidates toggle between the list view and map view.
