The Recruiting workgroup will be spending the next few weeks reviewing and updating the draft SearchDocument schema. The purpose of the SearchDocument schema is to provide a way for one system, such as an ATS, to request matching documents for a query against another system, such as a Job Board or a Resume Bank. This schema would allow a more programmatic and tighter integration between these systems and facilitate data exchange.
The first call is scheduled Thursday, February 11 at 12 noon Eastern. If you are interested in participating in this project, contact

HR-XML 3.0 Release Available
The HR-XML Consortium is pleased to announce the availability of its new XML standards, the HR-XML 3.0 Release. This new version of the HR-XML standards aligns its schemas for human resources interoperability applications with the Open Applications Group implementation of UN/CEFACT (United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business) core components, making them more universal than ever.
The new standards were created with the goal of greatly improving data and knowledge transfer. For example, the new schemas can now be utilized within the standard toolsets of software developers for most major vendors. In addition, developers working in the IT departments of large corporations will also have an easier time understanding, integrating, and writing applications for HR using HR-XML schemas, which have become the standard for OAGIS in the HR vertical industry.
“The 3.0 release is a modernization of HR-XML standards,” said Mark Cates, an executive board member of the HR-XML Consortium, who played a leading role in compiling and developing the 3.0 standards. “More importantly, the release represents the building of relationships with the standards bodies of other industries. We are now consulting, directly and indirectly, with peers in other vertical industries. This will only enhance data sharing and interoperability within our industry.”
“In the ecosystem of ‘Human Resources’ there is never just one application,” said Romuald Restout, President of the HR-XML Consortium. “Our work at the Consortium has reduced the cost of the development and support of these applications. Data is shared faster. From an end-user perspective, this means that HR teams get the flexibility to choose across multiple vendors, focusing on ‘best of breed’ applications as opposed to worrying about interoperability.”
