Job Postings

Schema strategy for job postings

JobPosting schema is the only way to appear in Google Jobs — the dedicated job search interface integrated into Google Search. Candidates searching for jobs on Google see your listing without visiting any third-party job board.

Priority schemas

What you gain

• Job listings appear in Google Jobs — accessed by millions of active job seekers
• Reach candidates who search directly on Google without going to job boards
• Job title, company, salary range, location and employment type shown directly in results
• Direct apply button if directApply is set to true

Required fields (Google will not display without these)

• title — exact job title
• description — full HTML job description
• datePosted — ISO 8601 posting date
• hiringOrganization — company name and URL
• jobLocation — postal address (or jobLocationType: TELECOMMUTE for remote)

Recommended setup flow

1. Smart Builder → Organization on the homepage
2. For each job listing page: Smart Builder → JobPosting with all required fields
3. Set validThrough to the application deadline — Google stops showing expired listings automatically
4. Include baseSalary — listings with salary ranges consistently get higher visibility in Google Jobs
