I've never seen it?  Not common.

Just thinking some more about this: Is there any case for allowing a range of dates? Are there examples of job being advertised to start between "now and three weeks time" or "after 1 June but before 15 June"?

Hello all, the second relatively simple issue that we prioritized, is that currently schema.org/JobPosting has no way to specify the expected start date for the job being advertised.

A simple way to fix this<https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/wiki/Provide_start_date_for_job> is a new property of JobPosting:

jobStartDate

Definition: The date on which a successful applicant for this job would be expected to start work. Text values such as "Immediately" or "As soon as possible" may be used when a specific date is not appropriate.

Expected type: ISO 8601 Date<https://schema.org/Date> or Text<https://schema.org/Text>



Please let me know if you wish to improve on this or have an alternative suggestion. In particular, is a text value to indicate an immediate start sufficient, or should this be handled more explicitly, for example as a separate property?

On that question, my own view (as exemplified in the proposal) is that, while an explicit indicator for immediate start may be useful for internal systems, a text value is adequate for advertising this on the web. If experience and demand show that this approach is not adequate, we would have evidence to provide to schema.org for a separate, explicit property.

Regards, Phil.
