PSA- As both a long time HR professional and current job applicant, it is crucial that when posting a role that is on-site or hybrid in a large city or metro area, the posting should include one of the following : the zip code of the office, neighborhood, part of the city (ie West LA, Downtown) or name of actual city (if applicable). This is important for candidates to know because commutes may not be reasonable especially if you live in areas like Los Angeles. The city of Los Angeles is almost 503 sq miles and even when an location is 5 miles from your house, it can take you 45 mins during rush hour to get there. That is not doable for some people. Also, when you say Los Angeles but you are actually located in an independent city in Los Angeles county, that helps significantly to narrow down the candidates who can do the commute. This information helps both candidates and companies as people who can do the commute will apply and those that can’t won’t (most of the time). This means a recruiter or hiring manager is not wasting time talking to candidates who can’t commute to your location and not losing out on candidates (like me) because they have to search the internet to hopefully find the company’s actual location and can’t or just decide it isn’t worth it because this information should just be included.
