Human resources-related e-business ? or any inter-company exchange of HR data ? requires an agreement among participants about how the transaction or data exchange will be accomplished. The mission of the HR-XML Consortium is to spare employers and vendors the risk and expense of having to negotiate and agree upon data interchange mechanisms on an ad-hoc basis. By developing and publishing open data exchange standards based on Extensible Markup Language ("XML"), the Consortium provides the means for any company to transact with other companies without having to establish, engineer, and implement many separate interchange mechanisms. The HR-XML Consortium is driven by the needs and priorities of its members. Any member can propose that the Consortium undertake a standards activity. Proposals are subject to a review process and must include the names of at least three sponsor organizations as well as satisfy other pre-requisites."

But as others have mentioned the incentive to fill this in, in a propriatry system is not great. I'm currently applying for jobs now and I only go through the motion if the job is really worth it ;-) And even then, I try to phone them first or use an email address directly. To apply for the board, the incentive might me worth while to do so. But might be better to fill in a spreadsheet instead of a webapplication.

The question is regarding using CSS's display: none; as a method to include links in a page and whether or not that would impact the search engine placement (Google specifically). The scenario is a search interaction for a website that uses a scrolling text box to select a state w/a "next" button vs. just text links for the states - this is one step in the "search/filter" process. One of the people involved in the project believes that using text links for states improves their Google rank and moving to a drop down menu or scrolling text box will have a negative impact on the search results. We're considering using a hidden div to duplicate the items in the scrolling text box as text links. The user/customer would see the scrolling text box, but the search engines could see the text links first in the source code, then a list of in the scrolling text box. The client is concerned that Google will somehow look at their CSS file to determine that we're trying to "trick" Google or Spam the search engine and get penalized. Two questions: 1) Is there any validity to their concern? I mean really, not hypothetically. 2) Does anyone know if the text links vs.
