requisition microformat efforts
Introduction
The mass adoption of the Internet as communications medium has led to many important advances our ability to access and exchange information.
One particular niche which undergone a significant evolution is the recruitment space. Today, companies around expose their career opportunities on the web in hopes of attracting the *right* person for the job. Currently, getting the maximum ammount of exposure for these 'requisitions' can be challenging and has led to companies like Monster.com which provide a centralized open requisition repository for potential appliants.
I propose the development of a Microformat for describing job requisitions on the Internet which would be complementary to hResume specification (http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume). This could be a influenced by an existing standard (e.g. HRXML) or built from the ground up.
