This is relevant for defining domestic and cross-border searches and clicks. A domestic search is conducted by a user whose IP location is in the same country as the Indeed website where they conducted the search. A cross-border search is conducted by a user located in a different country than the Indeed website used to perform the search. A click is the user\u2019s action of clicking on a job listing in the search results, which opens the full job description. We interpret this as a demonstration of interest in a specifically listed position. As with searches, click data is anonymised and cannot be linked to users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK\u2019s post-pandemic rise in foreign jobseeker interest has
