Job Listing Brainstorming

Ideas for a possible job-listing microformat.

Fields from examples

(see the job-listing-examples)

  • title - h#
  • description - class
  • company - hcard
    • company size - class
  • location - adr
  • start & end date - dtstart & dtend
or should we use dstart for the date the ad is posted, and dtend for the closing date for aplications?
  • type (employee|contract) - class
  • classification (full time|part time|temporary|temp to hire|seasonal|internship) - class
  • hours/week - class
  • salary base - class (see currency)
  • salary max - class (see currency)
  • wage/hour - class (see currency)
  • education - class
  • certification - class (security clearance can fall under certification)
    • years - class
    • required - class
  • skill - class (management can fall under skill)
    • years - class
    • required - class
  • benefit - class
  • 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". - Nicholas H.Tollervey
