Geotagging in Vincere lets you map addresses through Google Maps, enabling powerful location-based recruitment strategies. Use this feature to search, filter, and visualize Candidates, Jobs, Contacts, and Companies geographically for better hiring insights.
Geotag a Record in Vincere
Go to the record you want to geotag — this can be Candidates, Jobs, Contacts, or Companies.
Click the Location field and type the address you want to map.
Choose a valid address from the Google Maps suggestions to ensure it appears in radius and location-based searches.
Adjust the map pin manually if required; the address updates automatically.
For Jobs, keep the Location name field generic (for example, London HQ). This field syncs with your Instant Job Board or website, so avoid entering full street addresses.
📌 Note: Only addresses selected from Google Maps suggestions are eligible for radius and location-based searches.
View and Use Geotagged Records
Once your records are geotagged, you can leverage Vincere’s location-based tools:
Run a radius search to find candidates within a set distance (for example, 15 km from London).
Display results in Table View or Google Map View.
Access candidate details such as CVs directly from the results page.
Use Google Street View to explore a candidate’s area virtually.
📌 Note: The Show search result in map view option is available only for candidate radius searches.
