Berlin is more than 30 miles from London

Question

Suppose I search for candidates with dvcs skills within 30 miles of London. The url for this search appears to be

http://careers.stackoverflow.com/employer/search/results?tags=dvcs&tagmatch=0&loc=London%2C+England+United+Kingdom&range=30&surrounding=true&relocate=true&fulltime=true&contract=true&ideas=true&intern=true&students=0&sort=Distance)

Then I get two results including this candidate:

http://careers.stackoverflow.com/employer/cv/19541

This candidate's objective is to find jobs in "Berlin, Berlin Germany". This is clearly not correct.

We found in an earlier question that StackOverflow's geography code uses some approximations that actually mean France is just barely 30 miles from London (or a little piece of it is, anyway). See France is not within 30 miles of London. I don't think this could be the case here.

Answer 1

We assume that a candidate is willing to work in their hometown even if they are also willing to relocate. That candidate's hometown is London so that's why he shows up in your search.
