How Radius-Search and Travel Time Search Works in Recruit CRM? (New UI)

This article will guide you on how Radius-Search and Travel Time Search work in Recruit CRM.

Written by Likhitha Satya Maansi Rudra

Recruit CRM's Radius Search lets you look for candidates/contacts within the radius range you choose. The Radius Search feature in Recruit CRM is powered by Google Maps which works well if you have a candidate/contact's address available inside the "Full Address" field of candidate/contact.

How is location data used in radius search?


Radius search works using a process called Geocoding. Geocoding converts location information into geographic coordinates. Recruit CRM uses these coordinates to calculate distance and return records that fall within the selected radius.

How to enable radius search on your account?


Only account owners, admins, and users with custom permissions will have the ability to enable the radius search options for each entity.

You can choose which data you'd like to apply a radius search to by toggling the switch for each type of record in Recruit CRM (such as candidates, contacts, companies, and jobs). Follow these steps to enable a radius search for your records.

1. Navigate to your Account section in the Admin Settings.

2. Scroll down until you find the "Radius Search" settings, then switch on the toggle for each entity where you want to perform radius searches.

📌 Important Note

Adding a full address through a CSV import does not automatically enable radius search. Radius search works only when the toggle is turned on for the relevant record type, as this allows the system to process the address through geocoding and convert it into coordinates that can be used for searches.

🚘Travel Time Search


You can filter jobs based on travel time instead of just distance! The Travel Time Search filter helps identify jobs that fall within a realistic commuting range from a candidate’s location—based on how long it would take to reach the job by driving, walking, cycling, or public transport.

This improves job-candidate matching accuracy, reduces manual screening, and ensures recruiters focus only on viable opportunities.

The Travel Time Search Filter is available on the Candidate's New List Page Version and Job’s list page - Advanced Search >>> Full Address.

You can enter the candidate’s address or pin code as the starting point, specify commute time (5 to 60 minutes), select travel mode:

  • Driving

  • Public Transport

  • Cycling

  • Walking

and filters jobs based on reachability from the candidate’s location using real commute data.

Happy Recruiting!
