# JobPosting

The JobPosting schema type describes an employment opportunity. With valid markup your roles become eligible for Google for Jobs — a dedicated job-search experience that drives high-intent traffic directly to your careers site.

## About JobPosting

Google for Jobs requires title, description, datePosted, and hiringOrganization at a minimum. Always set validThrough when a closing date is known — Google removes expired listings automatically. Pair this type with  Organization  on your company page so search engines can connect the listing to your employer brand.

## Fields

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `title` | string | Yes | The job title, e.g. "Senior Software Engineer". |
| `description` | text | Yes | Full job description — responsibilities, qualifications, benefits. |
| `datePosted` | date | Yes | Date the job was posted (ISO 8601). |
| `validThrough` | datetime | No | The date after which the listing is no longer valid. |
| `employmentType` | string | No | FULL_TIME, PART_TIME, CONTRACTOR, TEMPORARY, INTERN, VOLUNTEER, PER_DIEM, or OTHER. |
