Work Location Options

When creating a job, you must select one of the following Work Location options:

  • Work Hybrid
    The job is a mix of remote and in-office work. Example: Three days work-from-home, two days in-office each week.

  • Work Remote
    The job can be performed from anywhere outside of a company office or travel assignment. Example: Home, coworking space, cafe, or even internationally.

  • Work From Home
    The job is performed from the employee’s home. It does not require any in-office presence or travel.

Note: If you only see "Work From Home" as an option when creating a job, see the Important Note below.

Important: Using Marketing Locations with Work Location

If you choose to use Marketing Locations (which allows one job posting to appear in multiple search locations on Indeed), there is an important rule:

Only Work From Home is allowed when using Marketing Locations.
(Hybrid or Remote selections will not display correctly on Indeed and may cause posting errors.)

Why this rule exists:
Indeed’s Marketing Locations feature requires jobs to be classified as "Work From Home" to distribute postings properly.

Summary:

  • Using Marketing Locations? Select Work From Home.

  • If your job is Hybrid or Remote (not strictly WFH), do not use Marketing Locations. Instead, post with a single, primary location.

Marketing Locations

This feature is unique to Indeed. It allows a Work From Home job posting to appear in multiple search locations at once.

Job-Level Social Media Image

This gives you the ability to control what image appears with your job postings on social media at the company and/or job level.

A Job level social media image will be used on a per-job basis. In the event a social media image is not assigned to a job, the company level social media image will be used by default. (If no social media image has been assigned at the company or job levels, the site being posted to will pull an image itself. This is not always a flattering or well defined image.)

To set your social media image at the Job level:

1. After the Job profile has been saved and created > Click to the Social Media Image tab

2. Click the Manage Social Media Image button (upper right)

3. Either paste an image URL into the top box OR choose an image from your computer to upload

4. Click Save and Close
