Introducing a new (and easier!) way to list job locations

Our latest platform update simplifies how locations are handled on Prosple, making it easier than ever for employers to list roles and for students to find them.

What's changing?


Before:

  • Employers needed to select three levels from a location taxonomy (Country > State > City) for every role, and manually enter the physical address information line by line

  • In addition, the method for specifying whether a role was remote, hybrid or on-site was confusing

  • Students could only search for cities in a pre-defined list and had no easy way to filter for remote or hybrid jobs


Now:

  • Employers can select the work type (on-site, hybrid, remote) and then simply start typing an address, city or country and our new autocomplete system will handle the rest!

  • Students can search for any city, country or region in the world, filter by work type and even set a search radius (e.g., within 50km) to find the roles most relevant to them.

How it works for employers

When you create or edit a job in the Employer Hub, you’ll see new options to define exactly where and how your candidates will work:



How it works for students

  • Autocomplete search: Students can now search for jobs anywhere in the world, simply by typing and using our autocomplete feature

  • Radius search: Students can set a radius around the location they have selected to make searches more effective

  • Work-type filtering: Students can now filter specifically for Remote, Hybrid, or On-site roles via a new dedicated filter


Better visibility for your roles
These changes aren't just about saving you time - they're designed to help your jobs perform better:
  • SEO boost:By collecting exact addresses, your roles will now rank better in Google for Jobs, which rewards listings with precise location data.

  • Inclusion in more search results: With more accurate location data and user defined search radius, your jobs may appear in more search result pages on Prosple and our partner sites.

  • Improved targeting: Students will start receiving job notifications based on more accurate location preferences in their profiles, ensuring your roles are seen by the right candidates in the right places.
