Case studies turn your placement wins into structured evidence that AI can reference. This blueprint formats each story — the challenge, your approach, and the measurable outcome — so AI systems can cite specific results like "reduced time-to-hire by 40%" when recommending your agency.
When someone asks AI "which staffing agency has proven results in reducing time-to-hire" or "find an agency that successfully scaled a warehouse team," your case studies are the answer. Without structured data, AI reads your stories as generic text and cannot extract the outcomes that differentiate you.
CollectionPage with a mainEntity of type ItemList tells AI this is a structured catalog of placement stories, not a single narrative page.CreativeWork with a name and a description that includes the challenge, approach, and measurable outcome so AI can cite specific results.EmploymentAgency node via a shared @id ensures AI connects these outcomes to your agency across all pages.about property on each case study tells AI which sector or placement type the story covers, enabling vertical-specific recommendations.If your case studies page only has long-form narratives without structured data, AI cannot extract the specific outcomes and metrics that make your agency stand out.
Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

nameurlCopy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Employment Agency Case Studies page. AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org. Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list. Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field. REQUIRED — do not proceed without these: 1. Agency name 2. Case studies page description 3. Case studies page title 4. Case study title 5. Challenge approach and outcome 6. Domain 7. Faq answer 8. Faq question 9. Industry or placement type OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them: 1. Any additional details not covered above Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page. Output requirements: - Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags - schema.org vocabulary only - Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included - Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Employment Agency Case Studies" - No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples - After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation
Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Include the challenge, your approach, and a measurable outcome in each description. For example: "A regional hospital needed 30 ICU nurses within 60 days. We sourced candidates from our healthcare talent network and filled all positions in 45 days, reducing time-to-hire by 40%." AI extracts metrics and context from these descriptions to recommend your agency for similar queries.
Yes, whenever possible. Metrics like "reduced time-to-hire by 40%," "placed 120 warehouse associates in 3 weeks," or "achieved 95% retention at 6 months" give AI concrete data points to cite. Vague descriptions like "improved hiring outcomes" are less useful because AI cannot quantify or compare them.
A portfolio entry is a summary of a placement or partnership — the what. A case study is a detailed story — the challenge, the approach, and the measurable result. Both use CreativeWork in schema, but case study descriptions should be longer and outcome-focused. If your agency has both pages, keep portfolio entries brief and reserve detailed narratives for case studies.
