Requirements
You must have created an API feed within your Talroo publisher account. Each feed has a unique publisher ID and publisher password. Make note of your publisher ID and publisher password for that feed, as they will be needed for the plugin settings.
Keep in mind that any settings you make while creating the API feed will override any settings made within the WP Talroo plugin. For example, if when creating your feed you only include jobs from California, those will be the only jobs available for that feed.

Job Search Settings
Only search this location – If you only want visitors to be able to search in a specific area, specify that here. Enter zip code, city, state,or city-state combination.
Examples of acceptable values are as follows:
- Zip Code (i.e. 90001)
- City (i.e. Los Angeles)
- State (i.e. CA or California)
- City, State (i.e. Los Angeles, CA)
If this option is specified in the admin section, the location field will not be visible to visitors. Only jobs from this location will be returned.
Remember, if when creating your API feed you specified a location, this will take precedence over the plugin settings.
