How does Datapeople help me comply with Indeed location guidelines?

Indeed requires certain language to be included in job ads to help Indeed extract the job post’s worksite. This is important as Indeed uses the information to determine inclusion in filters. Improving job visibility in candidate searches improves efficiency of recruiting processes.

Datapeople's guidance for Indeed-compliant language

If Datapeople can detect what type of job site it is (i.e. if it's remote or hybrid), but the description does not use language that complies with Indeed's requirements, guidance will appear in the sidebar to prompt the user to add a phrase that is compliant. By default, this adds the phrase to the end of the job.

This sidebar message is actionable to users from the sidebar. Selecting the ‘Add’ button will automatically insert the missing Indeed work site location to the end of the job post.

Opting in or out via Datapeople's Policy Guide

Indeed location guidance, included by default, can be adjusted in the Policy Guide. Datapeople Admins can navigate to the Job Board Optimization tab to toggle on or off the Indeed location guidance.

Indeed location guidance is an opt-in feature, so the toggle will be turned on by default. Admins will need to toggle off the guidance in the Policy Guide to opt-in.
