When a candidate utilizes the clock-in and clock-out feature within the jobseeker app, a location icon is integrated into their timesheet. This icon serves as a visual indicator, offering a precise depiction of the candidate's whereabouts precisely at the moment of check-in and check-out.

Should you ever click on the location icon to inspect a candidate's check-in location and encounter the label "undefined" or the location being extremely far off base, several factors could be at play, including:
Privacy Preferences: The candidate may have opted not to share their precise location due to privacy concerns or personal preferences.
VPN Utilization: The candidate might be using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to enhance their online security and anonymity, thereby obscuring their actual location.
Location Service Issues: Technical glitches or delays in location services could hinder the accurate determination of the candidate's whereabouts, resulting in an "undefined" status.
While the undefined marking of a candidate's location may raise eyebrows, it's often a result of legitimate factors such as privacy concerns, VPN usage, or technical glitches; understanding these potential reasons can help your Internal team navigate the nuances of location tracking.
