# How to search for candidates by language or location

> Find candidates for roles that need a language or a location, without missing people whose profile doesn't list the language.

To search for candidates by language or location, turn on **Accept language or location** in the AI Search filters. A required language or a required location can then satisfy the combined requirement.

## What this gets you

* You widen a search without losing relevant people: either a matching language or a matching location can satisfy the requirement.
* Jobin marks matches inferred from location, so you know which language skills still need verifying.
* You can switch back to strict matching whenever you need both.

## Steps

1. Open **AI search** and set your required language and required location.
2. In the filters, turn on **Accept language or location**.
3. Run the search. Either a matching language or a matching location now satisfies the requirement.
4. Check matches marked as inferred from location. Their language ability is still unverified.
5. Turn the option off if you want the stricter behavior, where both must match.

## Tips

* New searches start with the option on. Older saved searches keep the setting they had.

## Ideas to get more from it

* For roles that need a language in a particular region, require both and let either one qualify.
* Check inferred matches in a screening call before you shortlist them.
* Turn the option off when language is non-negotiable.
