Location information (Japan)

Requirements for entering location information for jobs in Japan.

 

body.location fields

The following table shows the requirements for each field of body.location when creating or upserting jobs in Japan using createSourcedJobPostings:

body.location fields

Field	Description
cityRegionPostal	Set to NULL or do not include this field.
country	Required. Set to "JP".
streetAddress	If metadata.taxonomyClassification.remoteType is set to "Fully Remote": Set to NULL or do not include this field. Else: Set this field to the street address of the job's primary work location. Include the street name and number. For acceptable and unacceptable examples of streetAddress, see streetAddress examples. Indeed might use the street address to improve the precision of location-based job search and show the street address to job seekers.

streetAddress examples

Set body.location.streetAddress to the precise address of the job's primary work location, starting with the postal code and ending with street numbers, etc. A more precise address enables Indeed to optimally match your job with job seekers who search for jobs in or around a specific location.

✅ Acceptable examples

The following table shows acceptable examples of streetAddress:

Acceptable examples of streetAddress

Example	Description
〒100-6640 東京都千代田区丸の内１丁目９−２グラントウキョウサウスタワー	Ideal format.
〒100-6640 東京都千代田区丸の内１丁目９−２	Omitting the building name is acceptable.
100-6640 東京都千代田区丸の内１丁目９−２	Acceptable but Indeed prefers that you include "〒".
東京都千代田区丸の内1-9-2	Acceptable but Indeed prefers that you provide a postal code like in the previous examples.
〒100-6640 東京都千代田区丸の内東京駅	Acceptable only if the job is performed inside the station. If a job seeker searches for jobs near a station, Indeed's intelligent matching looks up jobs near that station. See this example of a search on jp.indeed.com.

⚠️ Imprecise examples (only use when necessary)

A less precise address for streetAddress is only acceptable for the following conditions:

• Privacy concerns—for example, the address is a person's home.
• The job does not have a specific address, such as a driver job with multiple pickup points.

However, an imprecise address might make it harder to match your job with job seekers. If the address is too imprecise, the job posting might be subject to moderation.

The following table shows acceptable imprecise examples of streetAddress:

Acceptable imprecise examples of streetAddress

Example	Description
東京都千代田区丸の内	The job is performed within 東京都千代田区丸の内. This is ideal for a job that cannot define a street address.
東京都千代田区	The job is performed within 東京都千代田区.
東京都	The job is performed within 東京都.

❌ Unacceptable examples

The following table shows unacceptable examples of streetAddress:

Unacceptable examples of streetAddress

Example	Description
東京都, 千代田区, 丸の内, １丁目９−２	Do not use separators like "," for address parts.
〒100-6640１−９−２	This is more challenging for Indeed to correctly process because the postal code is directly followed by the street numbers, which might lead to errors.
丸の内 1-9-2	Do not use a partial address.
東京都千代田区丸の内1-9-2 (東京駅南口から徒歩3分)	Do not put additional information that is not an address in this field. Put additional information in body.description.
全国	Do not set streetAddress to 全国 if metadata.taxonomyClassification.remoteType is not set to "Fully Remote". Indeed will not match whole-country jobs appropriately.
東京都千代田区丸の内。埼玉県、神奈川県、千葉県など全国店舗にて募集案件あり	Do not add multiple locations in this field. Create one job posting per location.

Code example

The following code example shows a call to createSourcedJobPostings with body.location set properly. Other fields are omitted for brevity.

mutation CreateSourcedJobPostings() {
  jobsIngest {
    createSourcedJobPostings(input: {
      jobPostings: [
        {
          body: {
            ...
            location: {
              country: "JP"
              streetAddress: "〒100-6640 東京都千代田区丸の内１丁目９−２グラントウキョウサウスタワー"
            }
            ...
          }
        }
      ]
    }) {
      results {
        ...
      }
    }
  }
}
