Benefits: from "Our Benefits Our goal is for each employee, and their families, to live fulfilling and healthy lives. We provide essential resources and support to build and maintain physical, financial, and emotional strength - focusing on overall wellbeing so you can focus on what matters most. Our benefits plan includes - medical, dental, vision, flexible spending and health savings accounts, life insurance, ADD, disability, retirement, paid vacation/time off, educational assistance, and may also include infertility assistance, paid parental leave and adoption assistance. Specific eligibility criteria is set by the applicable Summary Plan Description, policy or guideline and benefits may vary by geographic region. If you have questions on what benefits apply to you, please speak to your recruiter."
We need to keep that as prose maybe with a list for benefits items. The sentence includes a list after "includes -". We could turn that into a
- list. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll create a
for the intro sentences, then a
- for the list of benefits.
Pay: we have compensation range and variable pay details. We'll put in
maybe with
- ? It's not a list but we can keep as prose.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, hiring philosophy, etc. Also remove "Learn more about our hiring philosophy here." and "Equal Opportunities" etc. Also remove "If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy." That's part of Pay section? Actually it's part of compensation philosophy; we could keep it as part of Pay because it's about compensation. But the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The sentence about speaking to recruiter about compensation philosophy is not exactly boilerplate; it's related to compensation. Might be okay to keep. However, the earlier sentence "Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate determined by available market data. The actual amount may be higher or lower than the range provided considering each candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location." That's also part of compensation philosophy. We'll keep it as part of Pay.
We also need to remove "If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter." That's generic but appears in Benefits and Pay sections. Might be considered application instruction? It's not exactly applying; it's a contact. Might be okay to keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly application instruction but a recruiter contact. Might be considered boilerplate? Safer to remove those lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The lines "If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy." and "If you have questions on what benefits apply to you, please speak to your recruiter." Could be considered application instructions? They are not about how to apply but about asking questions. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove them. However, we need to preserve ALL substantive information; removing those lines might be considered removing substantive info? They are not substantive about the job; they are just a contact suggestion. I'd lean to remove them as they are not essential job details. The instruction says remove application instructions; these are not exactly application instructions but could be considered similar. I'll remove them to be safe.
Thus Benefits section will not have the final sentence about speaking to recruiter. We'll keep the description of benefits plan.
Pay section: we will keep the range and variable pay, and the sentences about estimate and actual amount may vary. We'll remove the sentence about speaking to recruiter.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:
