Purpose

This article provides an overview of searching and applying for jobs with different workplace types.

Audience

This article is intended for candidates, employees, and recruiters.

Overview

Eightfold allows candidates to apply for the below types of jobs:

• Onsite - roles where employees are expected to work exclusively at the company's physical office or designated workspace, with face-to-face interactions and direct supervision.
• Remote - positions where employees work from a location outside of the company's physical office, often from their homes or other remote locations.
• Hybrid - positions that combine both remote work and in-person work at the company's physical office.

Eightfold allows recruiters to help calibrate positions with the below remote workplace types:

• Remote Within Country - positions where employees work from a remote location that is located within the same country as the job posting.
• Remote Globally - positions where employees work from any remote location available globally.

Note: Candidates can only view that a job is ‘remote’. They cannot view whether the job is Remote Within Country or Remote Globally.

Recruiters can create positions with these job types in consideration. This helps them to get the right set of applications, and makes it easier for the candidates in their job search.

Working with Workplace Type options

A standardized field (work_location_option) has been introduced that supports ingesting the workplace type associated with a position from an ATS. This helps in better understanding of positions with a variety of workplace types when an ATS is communicating with Eightfold.

Recruiter view

Recruiters can create or calibrate positions and include the additional parameter of Workplace Type from the Calibration page. Workplace Type refers to the arrangement through which employees engage in their work, depending on the nature of their job tasks.

To create a position that includes a Workplace Type choice, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Positions page in Talent Acquisition, and click Create Position.
2. On the Calibration page, add the relevant details.
3. In the Advanced Options section, you can select the Workplace Type to further explain the type of position.
   1. Onsite
   2. Hybrid
   3. Remote Within Country
   4. Remote Globally

   

4. Click Confirm Calibration or Share With Hiring Manager as per your requirement.

You can also add Workplace Type to an existing position from the Calibration page. Click on an existing position and add these from the Advanced Options section on the Calibration page.

Candidate view (Logged-in and Logged-out PCS)

Candidates have an option to search for remote jobs by typing or selecting the term remote within the location search drop-down. The remote suggestion appears in the drop-down as a suggested location. The career site also supports localization for this ‘remote’ search.

The job search experience also includes a Workplace Type filter with the below options:

• Remote
• On-Site
• Hybrid

The above options help candidates to get a curated list of jobs. The On-Site and Hybrid workplace types display jobs with specific locations where an employee is expected to work. Remote displays jobs that are remote within the country or global.

Remote or Hybrid jobs are also highlighted by a tag/pill suggesting their workplace type on the left navigation bar. Remote Within Country or Remote Globally jobs are marked with a ‘Remote’ tag, and Hybrid jobs with a ‘Hybrid’ tag. On-Site jobs are not marked with any such tags.

XML feeds integration

Eightfold also allows you to integrate XML feeds consisting of remote jobs for the below job boards:

• LinkedIn
• Indeed
