## Benefits of Geolocation

- **Can be used with the Text to Apply feature.**

Text to Apply simplifies the application process and enables applicants to apply directly from their mobile phones with minimal effort. To learn more about the Text to Apply feature click [here](https://support.fountain.com/en/articles/9899638-text-to-apply).

- **Location preferences for jobs can be customized.**

When applicants click the Text to Apply link, it redirects them to a page that automatically filters and displays job openings within a preset radius of their location. Applicants can then increase the search radius or change their location to expand their search.

- **Stores the applicant’s location for analysis.**

The location data obtained for each applicant can be accessed via API or data exports.
