for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
Thus we will remove the AI disclosure? It's not exactly legal boilerplate but maybe considered part of recruitment process; but it's not EEO. Might keep. However it's a bit generic; but it's specific to Ferrero's process. I'd keep it as a paragraph under maybe "Recruitment Process" but we don't have a heading for that. Could just include as a paragraph after About You? But we need to follow sections: we could add a section "Recruitment Process" with that AI disclosure. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding a thin section for AI disclosure might be too thin. Maybe we can incorporate it into About You or What We Offer? Not appropriate. Could just keep as a paragraph without a heading? But we need to use headings for sections; but we can have prose outside headings? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid having prose without heading, but likely they expect sections. However we can include a paragraph after a heading if it's prose.
Simplify: We'll have sections: About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements (About You), What We Offer (pay + benefits), About Ferrero, DE&I at Ferrero. We'll omit AI disclosure to keep sections substantive.
Now extract content.
