JobPosting schema validator

Google for Jobs is available across North America (entire region), Latin America (entire region), Sub-Saharan Africa (entire region), and specific countries in Asia (including India, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, and others), Europe (including UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and others), and the Middle East/North Africa (including UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and others). Even if your country isn't listed, implementing schema prepares you for expansion.

Yes. Adding schema to your own career pages means listings appear under your domain, building direct candidate relationships instead of routing applicants through third-party aggregators.
