Google preps to debut posting markups for remote job positions

Google is prepping to release their latest upgrade to job searching: companies will soon be able to highlight ads for remote jobs.

This will make it easier for people to search for jobs where they can work from home.

The announcement of this new feature is being sent to site owners directly via Google Search Console.

Businesses will have to mark up their remote job postings with structured data in order for them to be labeled appropriately in search results.

Google indicates that the following conditions must be met in order for a job posting to be considered remote:

• The job posting must be for a fully remote position and have the jobLocationType field set to ‘TELECOMMUTE.’
• Jobs that allow partial work-from-home or have other negotiable arrangements are not considered fully remote.
