Commute search

Search requests can include a commute time filter that restricts returned jobs to those within a specified travel time from a start point. Results include the estimated commute time in seconds for matched jobs.

Specific commute time search

To return jobs within a specific commute time, send a jobs.search request and include a CommuteFilter object in the JobQuery.commuteFilter field. Cloud Talent Solution uses the job's address to calculate the commute time to that job. When a detailed address is not provided Cloud Talent Solution attempts to infer the actual street address of the job.

Required fields

• commuteMethod: The method of transportation used to calculate the commute time. Options are DRIVING, TRANSIT, WALKING and CYCLING transit modes. Walking and cycling routes may not reflect real-world conditions such as construction or include clear walking or cycling paths. These responses include warnings in the returned result which you must display to your users.

• travelDuration: The maximum travel time in seconds. The maximum allowed value is 3600s (one hour). The format is 123s.

• startCoordinates: The latitude and longitude of the location from which to calculate the commute time. This field accepts a LatLng object.

• Either roadTraffic or departureTime: Commute search results are based on historical and aggregated data rather than live traffic conditions. Users receive the same commute search results no matter what time of day they send a query.

  • roadTraffic: Specifies the traffic density to use when calculating commute time. The BUSY_HOUR/TRAFFIC_FREE options are the calculated average traffic conditions at morning rush hour and midnight, respectively. This field must not be present if departureTime is specified.

  • departureTime: The departure hour to use to calculate traffic impact. Accepts an integer between 0 and 23, representing the hour in the timezone of the startLocation. Traffic conditions are calculated from average historical traffic conditions at the specified time of day. This field must not be present if roadTraffic is specified.

Optional fields

• allowImpreciseAddresses: "Precise" addresses are defined as either street level addresses or GPS coordinates. If allowImpreciseAddresses is set to true, jobs with "imprecise" addresses (city, state, or country only) might also be returned. For city level and coarser level addresses, the API uses text matching to return results. If this field is set to false or is not specified, only jobs that include precise addresses are returned.

Note: If allowImpreciseAddresses is set to true, Job Search is not able to calculate accurate commute times to jobs with city level and coarser address information. Jobs with imprecise addresses return a travelDuration time of 0 regardless of their distance from the job seeker.
