Joomla User Manual

Purpose¶

The JobPosting schema type helps search engines better understand and display job information. See the Schema Org JobPosting type for more information.

The schema provides search engines with information such as:

• Job Title
• Job Description
• Identifier - NOTE: assistance needed with defining this set of fields
• Job Posting Date
• Valid Through - how long the job will be open for hiring
• Job Location Description - indicate whether telecommute (remote/work from home), in-person or hybrid
  • If job location is telecommute and there is a country requirement, a textbox appears to enter the country
• Employment Type - indicate whether part-time, full-time, contract, temp-to-hire, etc.
• Date to Start - indicate when the applicant is expected to start. Use Text to input 'ASAP' or Date to set a specific date.
• Hiring Organization - the person or organization the job posting is for including the name, web address, logo, contact email address, and physical address
• Job Location - the physical location of a job that is not remote or telecommute
• Base Salary - the salary details including the currency, salary range or value and pay frequency
  • Annual Salary example: $60,000 to $80,000 salary range paid annually
  • Hourly Salary example: $21 / hour position

Open an article edit form and select the Schema tab to select a Schema type and set the data for that type. If a Schema Type is not present in the list its Plugin may be disabled. The values to be entered in each field are mostly self-evident.

The Generic Field section allows Title and Value pairs to be entered in addition to the default fields.
