Google rich results this unlocks

EmploymentAgency is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). EmploymentAgency becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common EmploymentAgency mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

Separate JobPosting entities per opening; EmploymentAgency is the business
```
Jobs on Google reads JobPosting, not EmploymentAgency text. Keep the entities separate.
