Managing your company locations

TAM provides a single table where you can manage all your company locations. These locations can then be applied to job postings, can be used on your Careers page (whether hosted by TAM or on your company page) to display your jobs' location, and can be used for straight-line distance searches by your TAM users as well as your applicants.

By default only users with administrator level can edit company locations, although an administrator can grant access to other TAM users using TAM's access level editor.

The Locations table is accessed at Setup -> Messages & Lists from the top menu.

  1. The "plus" icon allows adding a new location.
  2. This icon toggles between view/edit modes and allows editing an existing location.
  3. You can print your table, save to a csv/excel file, or to your notepad.
  4. This Help file can be accessed here.
  5. Click on any column title to sort alphabetically or reverse-alphabetically.
  6. You can search for any location by typing in any of the filter boxes at the top of the columns.

The "Name" of the location can be anything you like. Normally this would be the city and state, but you can give it any descriptive name you like. If you have multiple locations in one city this allows easily identifying them. It is highly recommended that each name is unique, although TAM does not currently enforce this. When creating/editing a position you will select from this list to specify where each job is located.

The "City" "State" and "Country" fields are used by TAM when posting to the job boards. It is important that proper names be used here in order that the job boards post your position to the correct location. If you use "Chicago Metropolitan Area", for example, it's likely your job won't be correctly posted. You can use that title as the location's name, but we recommend using Chicago, IL as the city and state.

  • You can leave the City blank and include the State to make your job a state-wide posting. The large job boards will accept this.
  • You can leave both the city and state blank to make your job a nation-wide posting.
  • (For our Canadian clients Province is substituted for State).
  • If you want to post a regional job we recommend using a city and state in that region. Job boards will not recognize "Northeast US" as a city or state. So use the main city you're recruiting for, or select multiple locations when creating the position.

"Full Address" should be the full street address of your location. This is used for the Mapping feature in TAM. If you are not using the Mapping feature you may leave this field blank.

 Jobs can be posted to multiple locations for most of the organic (free) job boards. See here for more details.
