Hello all, the extraordinarily observant among you may have noticed from
the summary of progress in our first year
<https://www.w3.org/community/talent-signal/2020/02/05/one-year-in/>
that the following properties which we proposed to schema.org a couple
of months ago were recently accepted into the January release:
* physical requirement
* security clearance requirement
* sensory requirement
* applicationContact,
* employerOverview
Missing from that list is *citizenship requirement*. This is because
Stuart Sutton raised a point
<https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/2384#issuecomment-554768395>
that I thought was worth bringing back here for further discussion:
Phil, just a thought about "citizenship requirement". In the context
of employment, I would think that the citizenship question goes to a
candidate's legal work eligibility. Some of what HR Open Standards
focuses on in this regard are: (a) eligibility types (e.g., "US
noncitizen national", "alien authorized to work"; and (b)
eligibility documentation (e.g., "permanent resident card", "US
passport", "foreign passport with I-94/A form" etc.). Since a
"citizenship requirement" might get to some of it, does it do the
full trick?
We had proposed :
*|citizenshipRequirement|:*
*Defintion:*Country of applicant's citizenship.
*Expected Type:*Country, Text, Url
Would this be better:
*eligibilityToWorkRequirement: **Definition:* legal requirements such as
citizenship, visa and other documentation required for an applicant to
this job. *Expected Type:* Text
**
I know Text is a blunt instrument here, but I am not keen on trying to
come up with a globally applicable vocabulary for this.
Are there many cases where citizenship is important if other criteria
such as a work visa / green card are satisfied? Should we propose
eligibilityToWorkRequirement /as well as/ citizenshipRequirement or
/instead of/? (If we suggest both we need to be careful because it won't
be clear whether they are alternatives or both required unless we alter
the definition).
Phil
