Overview
When you post a job through WISE Recruiting Assistant (WRA), you will be asked to add a business address. This address helps job boards like Indeed, Meta, and others match your job posting with relevant candidates, and affects your visibility across our network of job boards. Choosing the right address ensures your job reaches the right audience.
Choosing your business address
The address you list should match where the job is actually based, or where the candidate would primarily work.
For local roles: use the office location where the work happens.
For remote roles: use your registered business address or mailing address, even if you do not have a physical office.
For hybrid roles: list the primary location where the candidate would spend most of their time, or your headquarters if flexible.
For multiple offices: if you have five or more offices, use your primary or headquarters location unless the role is tied to a specific location.
Helpful note: We recommend a full street address rather than a PO Box or just a city and state. Some job boards require street addresses, and full addresses maximize visibility across all the platforms we post to.
Why this matters
The business address helps you reach candidates in the right geographic area, comply with job board requirements (some boards require full street addresses), maximize visibility across our network of job boards, and ensure your remote roles do not get hidden from candidates anywhere.
Common Questions
Will listing my headquarters address hide my remote job from candidates in other cities?
No. Remote is marked as a separate job attribute from location, so candidates anywhere can find and apply for your remote role. The address is for search visibility and job board matching, it will not restrict who sees your job.
Do I have to add an address, or is it optional?
It is optional, but we strongly recommend including one. Jobs without a street address have reduced visibility on job boards like Indeed and cannot be posted to Meta at all.
Can I use a PO Box or coworking space address?
We recommend a street address rather than a PO Box. If you are remote-only or do not have a dedicated office, a coworking space address or your registered business address works fine.
What if I am a startup with no physical office?
Use your registered business address or mailing address. Many startups do not have a physical office, so using your official business location is standard practice.
What if my job is hybrid between two cities, what do I list?
List the primary location where the candidate would spend most of their time, or your headquarters if it is truly flexible. Job boards treat location as a single data point.
Should I post the same job multiple times with different addresses for different locations?
That depends on how the role functions. If it is truly hybrid or flexible, posting once with your primary location is simplest. If you have separate teams in different cities, posting separately for each location makes sense.
Can I update the address after posting?
Yes. You can update the address in your job post at any time. Note that syncing changes to all job boards takes time.
