Location information (Japan)

Requirements for setting location information on job postings in Japan.

 

body.location fields

When you create or update jobs in Japan with createSourcedJobPostings, set body.location as follows:

body.location fields

Field	Description
cityRegionPostal	Set this field to NULL, or omit it.
country	Required. Set this field to "JP".
streetAddress	If metadata.taxonomyClassification.remoteType is "Fully Remote": Set this field to an address, NULL, or omit it. Otherwise: Set this field to the street address of the job's primary work location, including the district, block, and building numbers. See streetAddress examples. Indeed can use this address for location-based matching and can show it to job seekers.

---

streetAddress examples

Set body.location.streetAddress to the exact address of the job's primary work location.

note

Japanese addresses generally don't use street names. They use districts, blocks, and building numbers. The postal code and building name are optional but recommended.

Start with the postal code and end with the street numbers.

The more precise the address, the better Indeed can match the job to job seekers who search in or near that location.

Acceptable examples

Acceptable streetAddress examples

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	You can omit the building name.
100-6640 東京都千代田区丸の内１丁目９−２	Acceptable, but include 〒 if you can.
東京都千代田区丸の内1-9-2	Acceptable, but include a postal code if you can.
〒100-6640 東京都千代田区丸の内東京駅	Acceptable only if the job is inside the station. When a job seeker searches near a station, Indeed shows jobs near that station. For example, see 東京都 千代田区 東京駅の求人 | Indeed (インディード) (opens in a new window) on jp.indeed.com.

Imprecise examples

Use a less precise streetAddress only when necessary, such as for:

• Privacy concerns, such as a home address
• Jobs without one fixed address, such as a driver role with multiple pickup points

A less precise address makes matching harder. If the address is too vague, Indeed might reject the job posting or flag the job posting for review.

Acceptable imprecise streetAddress examples

Example	Description
東京都千代田区丸の内	The job is in 東京都千代田区丸の内.
東京都千代田区	The job is in 東京都千代田区.
東京都	The job is in 東京都.

Unacceptable examples

Unacceptable streetAddress examples

Example	Description
東京都, 千代田区, 丸の内, １丁目９−２	Don't use separators such as , between address parts.
〒100-6640１−９−２	Don't put the postal code directly before the street numbers. Indeed can't reliably process this format.
丸の内 1-9-2	Don't 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)	Don't include anything other than the address. Put other details in body.description.
全国	Don't set streetAddress to 全国 unless metadata.taxonomyClassification.remoteType is "Fully Remote".
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	Don't list multiple locations. Create one job posting for each location.

Code example

This example sets body.location in a createSourcedJobPostings call. Other fields are omitted.

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 {
        ...
      }
    }
  }
}
