The page says the structure is based on an internal format that was used for storing employee data. I can see value in a standard record format from that perspective, eg if employee bio and work history are being kept on file. I agree with the other comments that this should not exist for job applications, and that asking for a job application in machine readable format is basically saying "we're not going to read this". I would never use a channel that asked me to apply this way.
