Monks · Los Angeles, CA · 1 mo ago
Human ResourcesFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use for each heading. Use heading. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no navigation, no EEO, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
First line: "Please note that we will never request payment or bank account information at any stage of the recruitment process. As we continue to grow our teams, we urge you to be cautious of fraudulent job postings or recruitment activities that misuse our company name and information. Please protect your personal information during any recruitment process. While Monks may contact potential candidates via LinkedIn, all applications must be submitted through our official website (monks.com/careers)." This is boilerplate (scam warning) – remove.
Then "Creative Talent Discovery Manager" is job title – we do not repeat as heading.
Then "About The Role" heading – we will use
for each heading. Use heading. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no navigation, no EEO, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions.

Then "Creative Talent Discovery Manager" is job title – we do not repeat as heading.
Then "About The Role" heading – we will use About the Role
(note case). Then paragraph(s) after.
After that: "We are seeking a connected, proactive, and trend-savvy Creative Talent Discovery Manager to recruit, hire, and retain our North America team of full-time creative talent. This role is a full time contract role through the end of 2026, with the option to extend based on need. In this role, you will be the bridge between ambitious creative needs and top-tier full-time talent—ranging from Art Directors, Copywriters, and Motion Designers to Executive Producers, Artists, and Directors. You don't just search job boards; you leverage a deep personal network and sharp creative eye to hire the right personality, style, and skill set for long-term growth."
That's the About the Role content.
Then "Responsibilities" heading. Then bullet list under subheadings? The posting lists responsibilities with subheadings: Sourcing & Talent Discovery, Staffing & Role Placement, Relationship & Network Management, Hiring & Onboarding. Each has bullet points (some sentences). We need to output - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Should we keep subheadings? Possibly we can keep them as part of
- text. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can have a
with - items each containing the bullet content. Could also include subheadings inside
- as bold? Not required. We'll just list each bullet.
Let's extract bullet points:
Under Sourcing & Talent Discovery:
- Continuously recruit, interview, and pipeline high-caliber full-time creative and production talent across disciplines.
- Proactively source niche talent (e.g., specialized animators, 3D artists, AI creative specialists) ahead of upcoming headcount needs.
- Stay ahead of industry creative trends, emerging directors, and rising design talent.
Staffing & Role Placement:
- Partner closely with Casting, Creative Directors, Producers, and Operations leads to understand project briefs, budget constraints, and skill requirements.
- Recommend, extend offers to, and onboard full-time creative staff for open roles, pitch teams, and ongoing agency initiatives.
- Manage urgent hiring demands and hiring pipelines with agility and speed.
Relationship & Network Management:
- Build strong, ongoing relationships with full-time staff, supporting career pathing and ensuring a positive employee experience with our team.
- Maintain and organize an active internal candidate database (salaries, portfolios, skill tags, performance notes).
Hiring & Onboarding:
- Oversee full-time offer management, ensuring offer letters, employment agreements, compensation packages, and onboarding paperwork are fully executed.
- Collaborate with Finance and HR to track full-time headcount spend and salary bands against departmental budgets.
Now "About You" section: This is qualifications/requirements. The posting includes Experience, A Deep Network, Creative Acumen, Negotiation & Financial Literacy, Operational Skills, Communication. Also includes DEI statements (but those are boilerplate? They are about company values, but they might be considered EEO boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The DEI statements might be considered EEO boilerplate. However they are part of "About You"? Actually after "About You" they list bullet points then a paragraph about diversity etc. That paragraph is likely boilerplate EEO. We should remove that. Also later there is a paragraph about Monks description etc. That's company description – maybe we keep? It's not a section heading; it's just descriptive. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Monks description might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's generic company description. Might be considered "About Monks" which is not a required section but could be kept as prose? The instruction says we should only include sections when posting has real specific content for it. There's no heading for "About Monks" in the required list; we could include it as a
after the sections if we want to preserve substantive info. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It might be okay to include a paragraph about Monks as part of the description, but we have no heading for it. The allowed headings are only those listed; we cannot add other headings. So we could put the Monks description as a
after the sections, without a heading. That is allowed because we are not adding a heading. The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. So we can include multiple
and
etc.
But we must ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO statements. Let's identify and remove:
- "At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome and encourage qualified applicants, from all backgrounds, who are excited to contribute to our mission. Monks is committed to ensuring equal access and participation for people with disabilities. We are committed to treating people with disabilities in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. We believe in integration, and we are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner. We will do so by removing and preventing barriers to accessibility and by meeting our accessibility requirements under local accessibility laws." This is EEO/accessibility boilerplate – remove.
- Later: "We are an equal-opportunity employer committed to building a respectful and empowering work environment for all people to freely express themselves amongst colleagues who embrace diversity in all respects. Including fresh voices and unique points of view in all aspects of our business not only creates an environment where we can all grow and thrive but also increases our potential to produce work that better represents—and resonates with—the world around us." Also EEO – remove.
- Also the Monks description paragraph: "Monks is the global, digital-first, data-driven, unitary operating brand of S4 Capital plc...." This is company description; not EEO. Might be considered substantive? It's generic but could be kept. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep it unless it's considered boilerplate. It's not navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we keep it.
- Also the Return to Office (RTO) policy paragraph: "This role is subject to our Return to Office (RTO) policy. If you reside within a commutable distance of one of our office locations, you will be expected to work from the office a set number of days per week. The specific details, including the number of required office days, will be in accordance with the company’s then-current RTO policy, which is subject to change from time to time." This is schedule info? It mentions schedule but not specific days. It says "set number of days per week" but not given. According to instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does not give a specific number of days; it's vague. So we should not create a Schedule section because it's not specific. However we could include that info as prose under About the Role? But it's about schedule. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not specific. Safer to omit schedule entirely.
- Compensation: "Monks has provided a compensation range that represents its good faith estimate of what Monks may pay for the position at the time of posting. Monks may ultimately pay more or less than the posted compensation range. The salary offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on job-related factors, but not based on a candidate’s sex or any other protected status. Salary Range: $2,200—$2,800 USD". This is pay info. We should include a Pay section with that range. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here they state a range: $2,200—$2,800 USD. So we can include Pay section.
- Benefits: They list benefits under "Benefits What We Offer". So we include Benefits section.
- About You: This is qualifications/requirements. We'll make a Requirements or Qualifications section. The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use either Requirements or Qualifications. The posting has "About You" with bullet points. We'll use Requirements
(or Qualifications). We'll include the bullet points from About You.
- Skills: The posting includes some skill-like items under About You (e.g., "Experience using resource management platforms (e.g. Monday.com) and ATS platforms (e.g. Greenhouse)." That's more like qualifications. There's no separate Skills section. We could combine skills into Requirements. But we could also create a Skills section if we want. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can merge skills into Requirements.
Thus sections: About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also include a short paragraph about Monks description as a
after sections (no heading). Also maybe include the contract duration info (full time contract role through end of 2026) already in About the Role.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info from the posting (excluding boilerplate). Let's list all substantive content we need to keep:
From About the Role paragraph:
- We are seeking a connected, proactive, and trend-savvy Creative Talent Discovery Manager to recruit, hire, and retain our North America team of full-time creative talent.
- This role is a full time contract role through the end of 2026, with the option to extend based on need.
- In this role, you will be the bridge between ambitious creative needs and top-tier full-time talent—ranging from Art Directors, Copywriters, and Motion Designers to Executive Producers, Artists, and Directors.
- You don't just search job boards; you leverage a deep personal network and sharp creative eye to hire the right personality, style, and skill set for long-term growth.
From Responsibilities bullets (list above).
From About You bullets:
- Experience: 7+ years in creative recruiting, creative resourcing, or talent producer roles within an ad agency, production company,
