We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, accommodations, etc). Must not include Job ID etc. Must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Must not create sections unless posting actually states them. Let's parse the posting. Content: - BASIC FUNCTION: description of role: inclusive team environment, professional level in development and implementation of Central HR programs and policies in areas such as classification, compensation, benefits, recruitment diversity strategies, conflict resolution, corrective action, civil service, employee and labor relations, accommodations and leaves; provides mentorship and guidance to other professional and support staff in related activities. - Snohomish County is hiring a Human Resources Consultant project position to backfill and support during our ERP implementation. Project positions are budgeted through 12/31/2026 but anticipated to continue through the next biennial budget end date of 12/31/2028. Job offers are contingent on successful completion of employment verification and background checks. Snohomish County will not sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this opportunity. In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States. For any questions, reach out to SHR-Talent@snoco.org - Job Duties: STATEMENT OF ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES (list of duties). Then STATEMENT OF OTHER JOB DUTIES (more duties). Then WHEN ASSIGNED TO CIVIL SERVICE: (specific duties if assigned to civil service). Then Minimum Qualifications, PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS, SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS, Additional Information (KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES), SUPERVISION, WORKING CONDITIONS, then EEO boilerplate. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe the BASIC FUNCTION + project details). Responsibilities (essential duties + other duties + civil service). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills (knowledge and abilities). Benefits (maybe not present). Pay (not present). Schedule (maybe project duration? Not schedule). The posting does not mention pay, benefits, schedule explicitly. So we should not create those sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodations, etc. Also remove application instructions (reach out to email? That's contact info; maybe we keep as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate but it's contact. The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact email might be considered application instruction? It says "For any questions, reach out to SHR-Talent@snoco.org". That's not exactly application instruction but could be considered contact. Safer to remove it? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So contact email is application instruction? Probably yes. We'll remove it. Also remove "Job offers are contingent on successful completion of employment verification and background checks." That's substantive? It's a condition of employment; maybe keep as part of About the role? It's not boilerplate. Keep. "Snohomish County will not sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this opportunity." Keep. "In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States." That's legal boilerplate? Might be considered legal. Might be removed as it's standard. But it's substantive? It's a requirement. Might keep? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. This is legal. I'd remove it. Now we need to produce HTML with headings

for each section. Sections we will include: - About the role (BASIC FUNCTION + project details + visa sponsorship + background check maybe) - Responsibilities (essential duties + other duties + civil service) - Requirements (minimum qualifications) - Qualifications (preferred qualifications) - Skills (knowledge and abilities) - Possibly Supervision? Could be part of About the role? Not needed. We must not create sections with placeholder text. Ensure each section has content. Let's extract content. About the role: "While actively contributing to an inclusive and cooperative team environment, performs at a professional level in the development and implementation of Central Human Resources programs and policies in areas such as classification, compensation, benefits, recruitment diversity strategies, conflict resolution, corrective action, civil service, employee and labor relations, accommodations and leaves; provides mentorship and guidance to other professional and support staff in related activities. Snohomish County is hiring a Human Resources Consultant project position to backfill and support during our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation. Project positions are budgeted through 12/31/2026 but anticipated to continue through the next biennial budget end date of 12/31/2028. Job offers are contingent on successful completion of employment verification and background checks. Snohomish County will not sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this opportunity." We removed the legal verification line. Responsibilities: We need to combine essential duties, other duties, and civil service duties. Essential duties list (each sentence). Let's capture them as bullet points.

We'll combine these under Responsibilities. Requirements (minimum qualifications): "Bachelor's degree in business or public administration or other discipline directly related to human resources; AND one (1) year of human resources experience; OR, any equivalent combination of training and/or experience that provides the required knowledge and abilities. Must pass job related tests." We'll put as bullet list maybe. Qualifications (preferred): "Professional Human Resources certification, such as SHRM-CP, PHR, IPMA-CP, or specialty certification related to assigned functions." Skills (knowledge and abilities): Knowledge of: - principles and practices of human resources administration - employment, compensation, benefits, public disclosure practices, policies and procedures - federal, state and local laws as they apply to human resources - computerized applications, to include HRIS, Microsoft Office and other related systems and software Ability to: - interpret and apply procedures, policies, laws and regulations - take action that is consistent with available facts, constraints, and probable consequences - understand and interpret Snohomish County code and collective bargaining agreements - explain and apply human resources practices, policies and procedures in a consultative manner - analyze, organize and evaluate a variety of data; prepare reports of findings and recommendations in a clear, concise and logical manner - demonstrate a willingness to perform work team-related activities as needed and/or requested - manage projects and prioritize work in a customer-oriented, high volume, deadline driven organization - remain current with emerging technologies, trends, processes, and practices - accurately compute mathematical calculations - independently organize tasks - build consensus among individuals with conflicting viewpoints - establish and maintain effective work relationships with all levels of county management and staff, representatives of other agencies and the general public We could split into two subsections? But we just need
  • for any list. We can have separate lists for Knowledge and Ability. We must not include Supervision or Working Conditions sections unless they have specific content; they do but we could include them as sections if we want. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Supervision and Working Conditions into About the role or Responsibilities? Might be better to keep them as separate sections if they have content. But we already have many sections. Let's see if we need to include Supervision and Working Conditions. They are substantive. However we already have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. That's five sections. Adding Supervision and Working Conditions would make seven. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we can incorporate Supervision and Working Conditions into About the role or Responsibilities? Supervision is about direction; could be part of About the role. Working conditions (remote/office, travel) could be part of About the role as well. Let's add them to About the role. Thus About the role will include basic function, project details, sponsorship, background check, supervision, working conditions. We must not include boilerplate EEO etc. Now craft HTML. We'll output:
