JobPosting schema — frequently asked questions

How quickly do job postings appear in Google for Jobs?

Google typically indexes job postings within 24-48 hours of the schema being crawled. Using IndexNow or submitting via Search Console speeds this up.

Do I need JobPosting schema if I use a job board?

If you list jobs directly on your site, yes. Third-party job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn) handle their own schema. But hosting jobs on your own domain with schema builds your employer brand in search.

What happens when a job is filled?

Set validThrough to the closing date, and once filled, either remove the page or update jobLocationType and add a note. Expired job postings can trigger manual actions if left live.
