Hi @JHBEM,

to show that a position is available for remote work, you need to create an Office that is called Remote. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Organization > Offices.
2. In the New offices field, insert Remote.
3. Then click Plus . The metadata of the position will then show the location as Remote.
4. In the field City, insert Remote.
   Multi-posting and Frame contract postings can use the Postcode '00000'. Job boards later review posts and manually set them as remote.

   Note: ​​​For Auto-postings we recommend to add ‘Remote’ into the title of the position. 
   
   Hopefully this information helps you 
   
   Best,

Thank you for the reply.

So I did the above you’ve recommended before making the post.

The only thing I didn’t do was add a ‘City’ or ‘Postcode’ as Remote has neither but I did create an office location called 

Remote: UK+IE for the purpose of advertising roles.

Could you look into and check - based on your guidance I followed the steps.

Do it have to have City and Postcode inserted as described to work?

Hi @JHBEM ,

thanks for your feedback!

Multi-posting and Frame contract postings use City and Postcode for locating the position in the right way. So as I mentioned it is necessary to fill this information in.

For Remote positions, where no City or Postcode is available, we recommend to use “Remote” for City and “00000” for Postcode. 

Auto-posting uses the title to locate the position in the right way, so we recommend to add “Remote” into the title of the position. 

I hope these further information helps you out!

Best,

Maria  

Thanks Maria.

Can I leave the Country field blank?

As it is a remote role it is available across Europe, not defined to any country.

Ideally there would be a Region field instead where we could select “EU” or “EEA” so that anyone with citizenship knows they can apply and it’s not country restricted.

Hey @JHBEM,

for LinkedIn you have to fill out the field “Country”, this job board doesn´t promote positions on a regional basis. 

The way the location is displayed depends on the corresponding job board. Due to that reason, we can´t offer a field “Region” in Personio unfortunately.

Thank you for bringing up that topic in our community!

Have a great weekend 

Maria 

Thanks @Maria Langer 

Even though for LinkedIn we have to use ‘Country’ could we have ‘Region’ as we use the Personio Career page site as well.

We actually get more applications through the Personio page and so having Region would be really helpful for us as we hire Remote only which means all EU countries with the freedom of movement could apply - so we really don’t want to have it advertised as country.

Hallo Maria,
I’ve recently encountered this problem, and found this thread very useful. However, I must admit that creating an office Remote with “00000” for Postcode doesn’t work (at least in Germany), as the system doesn’t allow you to save it. Has any other solution been created since this thread was posted? I would really love to know whether there is an opportunity to post our job vacancy with clear information.
Thank you
Bests,
Agnieszka
 

Hey @Agnieszka_Szym,

Welcome to the Personio Community, we are thrilled to see you here 🥳. I am happy to support you with your inquiry.

Currently if the location is ‘Remote’ in Personio:

1. The Remote office needs a real City and Postcode

2. A country needs to be specified for the Remote Office

In this case, I would recommend using the Postcode of your headquarter Office for this. Unfortunately the ‘0000’ will not work going forward. 

If I can help you in any other way, please let me know.

Best,

Conor
