What Radius Search Does
Radius Search helps recruiters find candidates within a selected distance from a specific location. It is useful for local hiring, onsite roles, commute-sensitive searches, and regional talent pools.
The feature uses Google Maps and works best when candidate address data is populated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I search by city instead of exact address?
Yes. Enter the location and choose the correct map suggestion.
Does Radius Search work without addresses?
It works best when records have address data. Missing addresses can prevent records from appearing.
Can I use Radius Search for entities other than candidates?
The source article focuses on candidates. Availability for other entities depends on address data and account setup.
