Quick Answer
Workplace Type tells candidates where they'll work. You must select at least one option: In-Person, Hybrid, or Remote. You can select multiple if you're flexible. Your selection also controls whether the Workplace Location fields appear—they only show when In-Person or Hybrid is selected.
Overview
Workplace Type is a required field in the Position Details section that clearly communicates work arrangements to candidates. This is increasingly important as remote and hybrid options have become standard expectations for many job seekers.
Your selection also has a practical impact on your listing: when you select only "Remote," the Workplace Location fields disappear entirely since no physical location is needed. When In-Person or Hybrid is selected, you'll need to provide the city and state where work is performed.
Workplace Type Options
Option | Description | Location Required |
In-Person | Work performed at a physical location | Yes |
Hybrid | Mix of in-person and remote work | Yes |
Remote | Fully remote, work from anywhere | No |

FAQs
Can I select multiple workplace types?
Yes. If your role can be either hybrid or fully remote depending on the candidate's preference, select both "Hybrid" and "Remote."
What if the job is "remote-first but occasional office visits"?
Select "Hybrid" since there's an in-person component. Explain the frequency in your Job Description (e.g., "Remote-first with quarterly team meetings in Austin").
Why do location fields disappear when I select only Remote?
Remote jobs don't require a work location—candidates can work from anywhere. The system simplifies the form by hiding unnecessary fields.
What's the difference between Hybrid and selecting both In-Person and Remote?
"Hybrid" implies a single role that includes both in-person and remote work. Selecting both "In-Person" and "Remote" might imply you're open to filling the role either way. Use what best describes your situation.
Should I select Remote if we're "temporarily remote"?
If the job is expected to return to in-person eventually, select "In-Person" or "Hybrid" and explain the current situation in your Job Description. Selecting "Remote" when the role isn't truly remote may frustrate candidates.
Do workplace type filters affect where candidates find my job?
Yes. Candidates often filter job searches by workplace type. Accurately representing your options ensures your listing appears in relevant searches.
