RE: [TalentSignal] analysis of example Job Posting

Phil,

I can’t speak to the first two items, but the latter two seem like they need discussion.


  1.  This may be a rookie question, but be patient with me: not sure what the issue would be for “combining requirements” – isn’t this simply a node which already allows for “1 … n” entries?


  1.  In my experience, there are many situations where a job posting may offer different opportunities for work; the job may allow the possibility of working part-time or full-time, each of which would come with different own pay
     *   Hourly for part-time vs. salaried for full-time
     *   “Part-time” may be defined as hourly for less than “n” hours; full-time if more than “n” hours
     *   Benefits may differ for part-time work vs. full-time

Given the current job market, I see a lot of companies who are willing to split one full-time job into 2 part-time jobs, if they can’t find one candidate to fill the position.

Make sense?

Thanks,
- Joseph

Subject: [TalentSignal] analysis of example Job Posting


Hello all, a couple of weeks ago I shared a fictional example job posting<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vD19BSnaxkf9qahYeGBw19YKPFi2McFEuJOE9a5K_KY/edit> [1] that originated from the job data exchange project.

I have analysed this against schema.org JobPosting<https://schema.org/JobPosting> [2] and the Google JobPosting Search guidance<https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/job-posting> [3], producing an example of a full JobPosting and some potential issues arising.

The issues are:

  *   There should be a means of providing contact details for a JobPosting
  *   There should be a means of providing information about the department within a hiring organization within which a job in a job posting is situated.
  *   There should be a means of combining requirements for a job posting
  *   employmentType covers different categories of information which leads to some complications when more than one is present.

You can see the full analysis on the TalentSignal wiki<https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/wiki/Examples:_Junior_software_developer> [4]

Do you think that these are significant issues worth addressing?

Regards, Phil
