Description
Description & Overview
Goal
The primary goal of this proposal is to standardize the representation of job videos, hiring team information, and the interview process across job boards to significantly improve the candidate experience.
Context
In today’s competitive job market, candidates greatly benefit from transparency and clarity in the hiring process. By providing structured data for job videos, details about the hiring team, and the interview process, we can empower candidates with the information they need to make informed decisions. Clear and accessible information can alleviate uncertainty, help candidates prepare effectively, and ultimately lead to a more positive experience.
