What is JobPosting schema?
Job Posting schema is structured data describing an open role: title, description, dates, employment type, hiring organization, location, and salary. It uses the JobPosting type and is what powers eligibility for Google's job search experience.
Valid JobPosting markup can make a listing appear in Google's dedicated jobs experience, with the title, company, location, and salary surfaced directly.
Keep postings fresh and complete
Google is strict about job freshness. Include an accurate datePosted and a validThrough date, and remove or mark expired jobs promptly, per Google Search Central. Stale or still-listed expired jobs are a common eligibility problem.
Provide a real hiringOrganization, a specific jobLocation, and the employmentType. Salary is optional but genuinely valued by job seekers and by Google's experience; include a range where you can.
Where to put the code
Paste the generated <script type="application/ld+json"> block into the <head> of the page it describes. On WordPress, a free plugin like WPCode adds header code without editing theme files, and SEO plugins such as Yoast and Rank Math accept custom JSON-LD. On a static site, paste it straight into the HTML.
