The timezone matching feature's purpose is to ensure that a user's preference for a specific timezone aligns with the timezone of the company offering the job, based on the preferences of the applicant and the company's operational hours.

The data for this feature is extracted from the location of the user. In case the user didn’t validate a location on their genome, we extract it from their IP address instead.

Employers can specify their operational timezone in their job posts.

The IP of the user is used to validate the timezone of a user.

For every job, we compare the user's preferred timezone with the operational timezone of the company offering the job. If a user's preferred timezone does not align with the company's operational timezone, we filter the user from the suggestions, and the user will score 0 for this factor.
