Re: TalentSignal properties relating to employer information

Thank you all. I have just created a pull request 
<https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/pull/2402> that will provide 
information about the employer in JobPosting. It adds properties for 
applicationContact, employerOverview and allows DefinedTerm to be used 
for industry property, as we discussed.

Regards, Phil
