Consulting Associate, Land Services, Title Reviewer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Please submit your resume..." etc. Also remove "Who We Are" maybe not needed? It's not a required heading but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is company description; could be placed under "About the role"? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
- About the role: description of role purpose, location, what you'll do. The posting starts: "Help shape critical land and infrastructure projects through expert title review and ownership analysis. ERM is seeking a Consulting Associate, Land Services, Title Reviewer to join our Land Services team in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. In this role, you will support land acquisition, right-of-way, easement, permitting, and property-related projects by reviewing and interpreting real estate title documentation, identifying title issues, and providing clear, actionable findings that help drive successful project outcomes." Also "Why This Role Matters?" and "What Your Impact Is:" could be part of About the role.
- Responsibilities: list under "Key Responsibilities:" bullet points.
- Requirements/Qualifications: "What You'll Bring:" includes required and preferred. Could split into Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred) or combine. The instruction says we can have Requirements and Qualifications sections. We'll put required under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe from "Working knowledge of..." etc. Could be under Skills.
- Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, parental leave, medical, dental, vision, life, disability, AD&D insurance, 401(k) or RRSP/DPSP, and other applicable benefits to eligible employees."
- Pay: "For the Consulting Associate, Land Services, Title Reviewer position, the anticipated annual base pay is $68,100–$79,900 (USD). Actual pay will depend on factors such as education, experience, skills, location, performance, and business needs. In some cases, pay may fall outside this range. This role may be eligible for bonus pay (casual and fixed term/flex force employees are not bonus eligible)."
- Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule section.
We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, "Who We Are" maybe not needed but could be considered "About the role"? However it's generic company description; could be omitted as not specific to role? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "Who We Are" is substantive about company but not role-specific. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO/legal but still generic. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Who We Are" is not those; it's company overview. Might be okay to keep under About the role? But we already have About the role; we could incorporate a brief company description there. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could include a short paragraph under About the role that includes company description. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep it as is.
We also need to remove "Please submit your resume and brief cover letter." etc. Also remove "ERM does not accept recruiting agency resumes..." etc. Also remove "ERM is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer..." etc.
