Job Posting Standard

An open standard for job postings

Read - Setting an open standard for job postings

All job postings should be published as structured data, including the information set out in the recommended minimum standard.

The standard uses and extends schema.org/JobPosting; adding properties based on user needs.

This gist uses JSON-LD as an example format to add information to your web content. You could also use Microdata or RDFa formats.
