Director of Recruitment and Enrollment

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Overview, Job Description (Responsibilities), Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Advertised Salary Range, Application Review Begins, Anticipated Start Date, Contact Information? The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. 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. IMPORTANT: 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: Position Overview (overview), Job Description (Responsibilities broken down), Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Advertised Salary Range, Application Review Begins, Anticipated Start Date, Contact Information to Applicants (Jim Hammen email). Also maybe "Additional Candidate Instructions" includes cover letter, resume, references, application review begins date, etc. Those are application instructions; we should remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the "Additional Candidate Instructions" and "Contact Information to Applicants"? Actually contact info might be considered not application instruction? It's contact for applicants; maybe keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact info could be considered part of application instructions but maybe we keep as a short paragraph? The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." Contact info is minor metadata; we could include as a short p. But they said "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include contact info in a p. We need sections: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities (Job Description), Requirements (Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications?), Skills? Could combine. Pay: Advertised Salary Range is present, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned (no schedule). Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits or Schedule sections. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" as heading content; but we can include that phrase inside Pay section as it's substantive? It says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we cannot have a Pay heading with only that phrase; but we have actual range: "62,000 - 72,000, commensurate with experience". That's substantive; we can include that. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from responsibilities etc. However we must not create overly thin sections; but we can still have multiple sub-sections? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should combine similar content into broader sections. For responsibilities, we have many bullet-like items; we can put them in a

  under Responsibilities heading. For qualifications, we can have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications maybe as separate headings? That might be thin but okay. Could combine into Requirements section with subheadings? But we only allowed

  for section headings; we could have

  Required Qualifications

  and

  Preferred Qualifications

  . That's two sections; still okay. We need to remove duplicated lines. The posting has some duplicated sentences (like "Working with the Dean, the Associate Deans..." appears twice? Actually appears in Position Overview and later maybe. We'll need to deduplicate.
