All offers to external candidates for employment are contingent upon the successful completion of pre-employment drug testing and background verifications before employment is finalized. This position is considered “safety-sensitive” and includes tasks or duties which could affect the safety and health of the employee performing the tasks or others. POOLCORP, including all its subsidiaries, is a drug-free company and Equal Opportunity Employer – By Choice. The Company understands, respects, and values diversity – unique styles, experiences, identities, ideas, and opinions – while striving to be inclusive of all people. This commitment is critical to our success as a global company as we seek to recruit, develop, and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool. Hiring and promotional decisions are based solely on the qualifications required for the job to be filled.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statements etc are boilerplate; we should remove them. Also remove lines like "All offers to external candidates..." etc. Also remove "Bilingual, Military..." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's encouraging certain applicants; could be considered EEO? Might be considered encouraging diversity; but it's not strictly EEO statement; but it's still encouraging certain groups. Might be considered part of EEO? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The line "Bilingual, Military, Military Spouses and Veteran applicants are strongly encouraged to apply!" is encouraging certain groups; could be considered EEO encouragement. Safer to remove it. Also remove the paragraph about drug testing etc. That's legal boilerplate. Remove.
We need to keep substantive info: location, work hours, flatbed experience and hazmat endorsement preferred, why best (home every night, local deliveries only), safety emphasis, guarantee 40 hours per week, celebration/bonuses, benefits package details, what to expect (role description), daily duties list, requirements (age, CDL, MVR/PSP, ability to lift 100 lbs, customer service, communication, minimal supervision, familiarity with PCs/material handling equipment preferred, Moffett/Skelly/Air Brake experience a plus), plus company description (multibillion-dollar team, world leading distributor, etc). Also "What Drives Us? BEING AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE." could be part of About the role or Company overview.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities (daily duties), Requirements (qualifications), Skills (maybe customer service, communication, etc), Benefits (benefits list), Pay (not mentioned), Schedule (work hours). Pay not mentioned, so we should not include Pay section. Schedule we have work hours: Monday-Friday 6:30am-4:00pm. So we can include Schedule section.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include location? Possibly as a paragraph under About the role or separate? The instruction: Use for section headings; use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location and work hours as a short paragraph maybe under About the role or as its own section? There's no heading for location; we could just put a
with location and work hours.
