When it comes to good real estate,we all know the famous mantra, "Location, location, location." But this age-old phrase can apply to a range of other applications, too, especially employment and recruiting. The team at LinkedIn, for instance, knows this to be true: The company recently released a new feature that allows job-seekers to see the length of their potential commute before they apply to any open position.

For all companies, employees are both their largest investment and their greatest asset. And people are typically willing to travel only just so far for a job.
