Any way to target a geo area that is larger than a city but smaller than a country or state. Could you add a parameter that linkedin uses "distance" as in distance=25 gets you all jobs within 25 miles? See this actual Linkedin URL: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search-results/?distance=25&geoId=90000084&keywords=project%20manager&origin=SEMANTIC_SEARCH_HISTORY

Hey Eytan, We don't have this feature yet but we will have it soon. Could you give your email so we notify you as soon as we have it?

Hi Christian, eklawer@gmail.com Honestly we need it really urgently. I don't think our use case works without it. As an aside, I really like what you guys have built. Super clean and works great!
When do you think you'll have this feature?

Thanks for your kind words 🫶 We're planning to prioritize the state code filter feature next week. In the meantime, do you think you could use the state_code filter while we don't have the distance filter?

no, I don't think so. Our use case for TheirStack is that we send relevant job opportunities to job seekers to get them to come to jobalope to purchase our AI job search tools. for example, if I was one of my customers: i live in Concord, a city in the Bay Area of California. California (state) is a very large area, and I wouldn't be interested in job opportunities in 99% of California because they would be too far away. I'm willing to commute within ~30 mi/50kms, and the rest CA jobs are not relevant to me. This is a huge issue and will make us reconsider how we deliver the feature we're counting on you guys for. Our project is in prototype phase and we need to get this figured out ASAP. I'm happy to jump on a call and explain our use case in detail. I imagine most of your customers that have a similar use case to ours are also having the same geo-relevance problem.

Hi @Eytan Klawer I apologize for my late reply. It's our next feature in our backlog. We expect to start working on it at the end of next week. The plan is the following one: 1. We will allow to filter by state_code 2. Then we will allow to filter by distance
