Hello all, I hope that we can discuss and suggest three properties loosely related to employer information as solutions to the following from our page of issues / requirements <https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/wiki/Issues,_use_cases_and_requirements>: *1. *There should be a means of providing contact details for a JobPosting. Arises from analysis of Junior software developer example posting <https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/wiki/Examples:_Junior_software_developer> I know this is maybe useful only in a minority of cases where jobs are maybe specialized, or non-standardized, but seems very common in some sectors, for example Higher Education or small companies, to have a "for further information please contact..." line in job adverts. -- I propose we suggest a property applicationContact to JobPosting, with an expected value type of schema.org/ContactPoint <http://schema.org/ContactPoint> defintion: "contact details for further information relevant to this job posting" *2. *provide Employer Overview "Description of the employer, career opportunities, and work environment" From Comparison of JDX JobSchema+ <https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/wiki/Comparison_of_JDX_JobSchema%2B_with_schema.org> with schema.org, see also issue 1829 <https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1829> point 5. This is different to the general description that can be provided for a hiring organization in that it provides information relevant to filling a hiring requirement, for example advertising what a great place the organization is to work at, or signaling that legal requirements for hiring are being upheld. -- I propose we suggest a property employerOverview (text) "description of the employer, career opportunities and work environment for this position" *3. *Provide a means of giving the industry a standard code. From Comparison of JDX JobSchema+ <https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/wiki/Comparison_of_JDX_JobSchema%2B_with_schema.org> with schema.org Currently JobPosting has a property for industry <https://schema.org/industry>, (the industry associated with the job position) but this can only be text so codes like those in NAICS or ESCO would be difficult to interpret. -- This is easily dealt with by allowing DefinedTerms to be used to specify industry. *Please respond.* It's important we discuss anything that I propose that does not meet requirements, but it is also useful in demonstrating wider agreement if people who agree say so. A simple "+1" in response would be fine.
