Further information

What is the 'Update location' button?

The Update location button is on the SmartMatch panel that appears when you click the Talent Recommendations button in the following places:

  • Personnel file.
  • SmartMatch landing page.
  • Active job listing.

 

When you click the Update Location button, you can choose between Onsite/Hybrid or Remote for the Workplace Type field.

  • If you choose Onsite/Hybrid option, you can select the country and location.
     
  • If you choose the Remote option, you need to pick an answer for the Where can Candidates be Based field:
    • Anywhere - Employees can be based anywhere in the world.

      • Choose the required timezone.

Will SmartMatch recommend my employees to other employers?

No. Your employees only see jobs available within your organization through the Employment Hero Work app. We exclude recommending all active employees on the Employment Hero platform to any organization.

We rely on ‌account emails to track users that should not be recommended for external roles. We also encourage you to make sure employees have their personal email addresses on the employee file, so those can be excluded from SmartMatch results as well.

To learn how to include this information in the employee file, please refer to the Editing Data section in this article: How do I manage employee personal details and change account emails?
