Re: [TalentSignal] Suggested first actions

Hi Fritz, good to see you here

What you outline mirrors the modelling in JDX (we are working on a 
digestible, shareable summary which should be available soon). 
JobDescriptions and JobProfiles are based on a JobMaster class. This is 
a useful underlying class, but what argument can we provide for it being 
in schema.org? Such classes can exist in internal systems, based on JDX 
or HR Open, composed from schema.org properties or terms that can be 
mapped to them, and the relevant details be exposed for the job posting 
as a schema.org/JobPosting.

I suggest we circle back to this next month, and discuss the conceptual 
models from which JobPostings can be created (to which information from 
many postings can aggregated for analysis).
