Displaying the Correct Location Filter Values in Candidate Search

Consider this info to ensure the Location filter is showing the correct locations.

  • When the geography hierarchie structure of a country is modified, run the Load and Index Master Geography Hierarchy scheduled process for that country.
  • When you define the geography hierarchy structure of a country, don't use postal code. Postal codes aren't supported in Oracle Fusion Cloud Recruiting.
  • The Location filter can't work without the Level 2 or StateCode field populated in Core HR. The TownOrCity field in the Core-HR table is read only when the StateCode field is populated. No location will be indexed for candidates that don't have a State populated in the Address section of their profile. This means that the Location filter won't be available in Candidate Search.

Example: The Saudi Arabia location isn't displayed in the Location filter. The customer's system was configured to work on Tax and Reporting Address format. Here's how to fix the issue.

  1. Define the geography validation for Saudi Arabia and set the address style to "Saudi Arabia Tax and Reporting Address Format".
  2. Create the correct mapping (governorate to city, and regions to state).
  3. Run the Load and Index Master Geography Hierarchy scheduled process.
  4. Create a candidate or edit an existing one.
  5. Add the address of the candidate (state and city).
  6. Run the Maintain Candidates and Job Requisitions for Search scheduled process.
  7. The Location filter now displays the Saudi Arabia location.
