Re: [TalentSignal] proposal for Job Start Date

Welcome Martin, and thank you for the introduction and valuable 
contribution.

 From your breakdown I think that the current proposal 
<https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/wiki/Provide_start_date_for_job> 
covers all bar the "Negotiable" case (see below).

*Options:*

  * We could give guidance such as "leave blank for negotiable"
  * We could go back to soliciting text values
  * We could do a bit of both -- i.e. "leave ISO Date blank for
    negotiable" and add Text as an expected value type
  * other?

Whatever put in the definitions we can clarify with examples.

This we cover explicitly.

There is always the option of not providing a value.

We say to use jobImmediateStart for this

ISO 8601 allows values like these, e.g. 2019-06 and 2019-08-01/2019-09-30
