Can an hiring organization have multiple industryType codes? #7

Closed stuartasutton closed 5 years ago

stuartasutton commented 5 years ago

Tom, on this morning's tech team call, you asked whether an organization could have more than one industry code (with one related to the hiring org's industry and another for the industry/profession of the position--e.g., accountant position in a tech firm). The sum of the discussion was that the hiring organization has an jdx:industryType (tech firm) and the job position has a jdx:occupationCategory (accountant).

I mistakenly said that the hiring organization should have just one industry code. Actually, a hiring organization could have more than one jdx:industryType where the product or service bridges more than one industry. In such a case, would it be useful to identify jdx:primaryIndustryType and jdx:secondaryIndustryType?
