We need to strip boilerplate: EEO paragraph, accommodation sentence, disclosure of salary ranges, CBAs, benefits description maybe keep? Benefits: "Regeneron offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package which may include, depending on country and role: annual bonuses or other incentive plans, equity awards, pension or retirement benefits, 401(k) company match, health and wellness programs, fitness centers, insurance benefits (e.g. medical, dental, vision, life and disability), paid time off, and family support benefits." That's substantive benefits. Keep.
Also "For additional information about Regeneron benefits in the U.S., please visit ..." that's a link; maybe keep as part of benefits? Could be considered application instruction? It's info about benefits; we can keep but maybe it's okay. However instruction to visit link is not application instruction; it's info. We'll keep.
"For other locations, additional information will be provided during the recruitment process." That's generic; maybe drop as boilerplate.
"If you have any questions, please speak with your recruiter." That's application instruction? Might be considered contact; but it's generic. Probably drop.
"Please be advised that at Regeneron, we believe we do our best work when we are together. For that reason, many roles are required to be performed onsite. Please speak with your recruiter and hiring manager for more information about onsite expectations for your role and location." That's about schedule/onsite expectations; could be part of Schedule section. We'll keep relevant info: remote with some travel when needed, plus note about onsite expectations.
"As part of the recruitment process, certain background checks may be conducted..." that's boilerplate; drop.
"For jobs in Canada: this posting is for an existing position." That's location-specific; maybe drop unless relevant. We'll drop.
Now we need to structure.
Sections:
- About the role: introductory paragraph(s) describing role and team.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (many bullet points). We'll extract bullet-like sentences.
- Requirements / Qualifications: education, experience, skills.
- Skills: maybe separate but could combine with Requirements. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Skills into one "Qualifications" section.
- Benefits: description.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: remote with some travel when needed, plus onsite expectations note.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must use for section headings.
Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
Use
for prose.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have real content.
Let's craft.
About the role: combine first few sentences up to "When & Where Remote with some travel when needed". Actually "When & Where Remote with some travel when needed" is schedule; maybe we keep schedule separate.
