Symptom
- Search by Radius in Career Site Builder returns job postings located far beyond the selected radius, with inaccurate distance values displayed in the results.
- In some cases, a valid postal code search incorrectly returns "no matching open positions" within the specified radius.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing
Reproducing the Issue
- Enable Search by Radius in Career Site Builder.
- Open the career site search and enter a valid postal code.
- Select a 10-mile radius and run the search.
- Observe that results include jobs located well beyond 10 miles, with incorrect distance values displayed.
- (Optional) Test another valid postal code and observe that the page may return a "no matching positions" message despite valid results within range.
Cause
The Country/Region and Zip/Postal Code fields are not mapped in Set Up Recruiting Marketing Job Field Mapping. As radius-based search relies on these fields for accurate location calculation, the missing mapping results in inaccurate or failed search behavior.
Resolution
- In Admin tools, open Set Up Recruiting Marketing Job Field Mapping.
- Map the Country/Region field.
- Map the Zip/Postal Code field.
- Re-sync job postings.
