Ideas for a possible job-listing microformat.

Fields from examples

  • description - class
  • company - hcard
    • company size - class
  • company-logo - img class
  • multimedia - object class

    • years - class
    • required - class
  • skill - class (management can fall under skill)
    • years - class
    • required - class
  • benefit - class
  • Holiday allowance - expressed in days or weeks?
  • contact - hcard
  • time posted - date-time (is this dtstart? See above)
  • relocation covered - class
  • job function - class (if absent, fall back to title?)
  • travel required - class
  • industry - tag on company?

"job-listing" is clunky, would "vacancy" be a better name?

I second the change of name to "Vacancy". - ntoll

What about "job-offer"? Reason: People with low english-skills often now "offer" but not "vacancy". On the other hand: Why not easily "job"? With an attribute you can specify if it is a "job-offer" or a "job-application". So human beeings/job-platforms can easily compare "offers" and "applications".
