Job Posting Location Policy
This policy explains how to choose the correct job location when posting on Indeed. It covers office-based, statewide, nationwide, remote, hybrid and travel-based roles. The rules apply to all employers posting jobs on the platform.
Policy requirements
Employers must post jobs to the most specific and accurate location possible. Location variations* are not allowed. This ensures that jobseekers get clear and relevant search results.
*A location variation is a job posted outside the actual working location.
How to choose the right location
Follow these rules when posting different types of jobs.
Office-based jobs
Use the street address where the jobseeker will report to work, or at a minimum, the post code. If these are not possible for your location, use the most precise location possible.
You can hide the street address.
Hybrid or remote jobs
Learn more about posting a remote job.
Statewide jobs
Use only if the role can be performed by candidates from anywhere in the state.
Jobseekers can find these jobs by filtering by state.
Nationwide jobs
Use only if the role can be performed by candidates anywhere in the country.
Jobs posted to United States or Nationwide appear only in nationwide search results.
Jobs with travel requirements (transitory)
Use the most specific location where the jobseeker must work.
Select On the road if you allow remote work when not travelling. Provide the most specific expected location of travel.
In the job description, include:
Expected travel percentage (for example, 25% or 75%)
Whether you will cover travel expenses
State that, other than travel, this job can be remote
Exceptions or special cases
Jobs based in more than one legitimate work location may be posted to each of those locations.
