Geographical Search
This feature is used to find a candidate near you through geographical search in simple and advance search methods.
The search is done using Geocodes/City, State, Country or a distance range. You can select different parameters for measuring the distance range like KM and mile.
The geoSearch is an optional parameter (query) that can be passed in the API request of Simple Search, Boolean Search, Free Text Search, Match, Match with ID, and Match with Multiple Sub-User Ids.
Once geoSearch is passed in the request parameter of above API's, it will return the
resume/JD that fulfills the geoSearch query.
Note:
- By dafault, when geoSearch is passed in the API request, the score for the returned resume/JD is reduced by 50%, and the remaining 50% score is allocated to the geoSearch query. To know more, see the sample Simple Search query below with and without geoSearch.
- When the geoSearchScore parameter is included in the API request, the
score assigned to the geoSearch query is determined by the value specified
in the geoSearchScore parameter. This allows you to dynamically
change the score for the geoSearch query using geoSearchScore
parameter. For example, if
"geoSearchScore": 20is passed in the API request, then 20% of the score is assigned to the geoSearch query, and the remaining 80% is returned for the resume/JD.
