ArgotVacancy  
An argot for describing a vacancy.

Introduction

A vacancy is a document that describes the details of one or more jobs that need to be filled. If that distinction seems too subtle, think of a job as the thing that requires you to work in London for £25,000 per year, and think of the vacancy as the thing that requires you to apply by June 30th, using the reference 'PK712'.

It looks as though zero or more "Vacancy Contacts" would be a good thing to capture.
