for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them.
We have content: Job Description (prose), Responsibilities (list), Essential Skills (list), Additional Skills & Qualifications (list), Work Environment (prose), Job Type & Location (maybe location and type), Pay And Benefits (pay range and benefits list), Workplace Type (maybe duplicate), Application Deadline (maybe not needed? It's application instruction? It's a date; but maybe considered application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. The deadline is likely part of application instructions; we should drop it. Also "About Actalent" etc is boilerplate; drop. Also "Job Type & Location" maybe we keep location and type as a short paragraph? It's not a heading but we can include as
. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include location and job type in a
. Also "Workplace Type" maybe duplicate; we can drop.
We need sections: About the role? The job description could be considered About the role. Use
About the role
then with description.
Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then - each bullet.
Requirements? Could be Essential Skills? Might be "Requirements" heading for essential skills. But we have "Essential Skills" and "Additional Skills & Qualifications". Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have: Responsibilities (list). Essential Skills (list). Additional Skills & Qualifications (list). Work Environment (prose). Pay And Benefits (pay range and benefits list). Job Type & Location (short). Possibly "About the role" from description.
We should not create Schedule section because none.
We should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them; we have benefits list, so we can include Benefits.
Pay: we have pay range, so include Pay.
Qualifications: maybe we can treat Essential Skills as Qualifications? Or Skills? The headings list includes Skills as separate. We could have Skills section for essential skills, and Qualifications for additional? But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Essential Skills and Additional Skills & Qualifications into a single Skills section? But we have both essential and additional; we could have Skills (essential) and Qualifications (additional). However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we have: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills (combining essential and additional), Benefits, Pay, Work Environment (maybe as part of About the role? but we can keep as a separate section like "Work Environment" not in list but we can include as a paragraph under About the role? The instruction only lists certain headings but says use those for section headings; we can also have other headings? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples but not exclusive? Likely we should stick to those headings. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus we need sections: About the role (description), Responsibilities, Skills (maybe essential skills), Qualifications (additional skills), Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Requirements? Could treat essential skills as Requirements. But we have both essential and additional; we could put essential under Requirements, additional under Qualifications. That would give us Requirements and Qualifications sections.
We have Work Environment info; not in the example headings but could be part of About the role? Could add as a paragraph under About the role. Or we could create a section "Work Environment" but not in the list; maybe we should avoid extra headings. Better to incorporate into About the role.
Job Type & Location: could be a short paragraph under About the role or separate? Not in list; maybe we can drop or incorporate as a short p under About the role.

Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.
We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "About Actalent", EEO, etc. We removed those. Also removed "Application Deadline". Also removed "Workplace Type". Also removed "Job Type & Location" but we incorporated location and contract type in About the role paragraph.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated.
Check for any filler like "commensurate with experience" - none.
Check for any placeholder like "not specified" - none.
Check for any mention of schedule - none, so we didn't create Schedule section.
Check for any mention of benefits - we have list.
Check for any mention of pay - we have.
Check for any mention of "Job Type & Location" - we incorporated.
Check for any mention of "Work Environment" - we incorporated into About the role.
Check for any mention of "Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits..." - we omitted that as it's generic boilerplate? It's part of benefits description but maybe considered boilerplate? It's a generic statement about eligibility; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? It says "Eligibility requirements apply to some benefits and may depend on your job classification and length of employment. Benefits are subject to change and may be subject to specific elections, plan, or program terms." That's generic; we could drop it. We already omitted.
Check for "If eligible, the benefits available for this temporary role may include the following:" we omitted that intro and just listed benefits.
