Geographic preferences allow employees to define their desired mobility scope, to receive relevant suggestions and share them with managers / HR.
Declare geolocation preferences
From the feature introduction window
Following activation of the feature, the employee will see, during their next visit, a window explaining how it works and allowing them to directly define their geographic preferences.
If you have enabled the configuration allowing pre-filtering of opportunities based on the employee’s country, this country will be suggested by default — however, they may choose to remove it.
If you were already using customizable information blocks on the profile so employees could indicate their geographic mobility wishes: the information they previously entered will be suggested in this window to make things easier. The customizable information blocks can remain on the profile if you use the corresponding filters on the Staff an opportunity / Find an expert pages.
If the employee clicks on “No thanks”, the suggestions will not be saved, but the employee can return later to define their geographic preferences.

The blue banner allows you to inform employees about who can see their location preferences. This banner is disabled by default and must be customized to match your use cases; please contact your customer success to define it.
From the different pages of their experience
At any time, employees can declare or modify their geographic preferences:
- From the main information block of the profile

- From the location filter on the Opportunities page (which must be activated beforehand), then by clicking on “Save”

- From the main information block of the career planner

In the last two cases, the following banner is displayed.
The employee can enter the area of their choice (city, region, country) and apply a radius around that area. They can also choose multiple areas, in which case the radius option will no longer be available.
The explanatory blue banner is hidden by default. Its purpose is to inform employees about the impact of declaring geographic preferences (and more generally, on the profile, about their mobility wishes including mobility status and working languages). The display of this block and its exact content should be defined with your Customer Success to reflect the visibility settings implemented on your platform.
Impact of geographic preferences on opportunities
When employees have declared geographic preferences, opportunities will be pre-filtered according to these preferences. This pre-filter can be removed if needed.

The AI opportunity suggestion email will also filter relevant opportunities (i.e., those that offer a location filter) based on the declared preferences.
Manual opportunity suggestions can always be sent, even if they do not match the employee’s geographic wishes.
Visibility of geographic preferences
Geographic preferences are a full part of the employee’s career planner. As such, we adapt to your business rules by allowing you to customize the visibility scope of employees whose geographic preferences each user can view, thanks to the user multiscope
If visible, geographic preferences will be displayed:
- On the profile page
- On the career planner
- On Manage a career

Geographic preferences are also available:
- In the employee framework export
- As filters on the Find an expert and Manage a career pages, as well as in the manual opportunity suggestion window.
