LinkedIn Search Guide
LinkedIn location filters
Use LinkedIn location, distance, relocation, and workplace-type filters correctly when searching for jobs, candidates, or professional contacts.
In job search, LinkedIn accepts a postal code, city, state, province, or country as a location. Distance can then narrow nearby results where the interface offers it. Remote, hybrid, and on-site describe workplace type, not a geographic location.
In people and Recruiter searches, location depends on LinkedIn's standardized geographic data and the information in a member profile. Search nearby regions separately when a location name is ambiguous or when commuting and relocation are realistic.
Practical checklist
- Use a standardized city, region, postal code, or country.
- Treat remote, hybrid, and on-site as workplace types.
- Check whether distance is measured from the expected place.
- Verify relocation assumptions rather than inferring them from a result.
