About WPJM Schema
From the official readme · v0.5.1Description
Schema.org markup is a way of giving search engines more information about your website so that they can automatically process your pages and display that to users.
Google is now supporting JobPostings schemas, and will eventually use these to produce dedicated job listing search results. That’s why it’s important that YOUR site has schema markup installed so that your listings will appear.
This simple plugin will work alongside your WP Job Manager install and provide this schema for you, with no fuss and no editing required.
You can access your own job listings sitemap at yourdomain.com/job-sitemap.xml – which you can submit to search engines to help get your pages ranked.
We also provide built-in support for two helpful WP Job Manager extensions:
* Application deadline
* Geolocation
Filters/Customisation
There are filters you can use by placing code in a child theme or functionality plugin to modify how WPJM schema works.
