for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the Role: present. Should be an About the Role
with prose.
- Responsibilities: The Job Description "What You’ll Do:" includes bullet-like sentences. We can treat that as Responsibilities section. Use Responsibilities
with - items.
- Qualifications: present as "What You’ll Bring:" list. Use
Qualifications
with - .
- Benefits: The posting says "We offer competitive benefits, and we invest in our people and their future." Also Additional Information includes "What We Offer" describing benefits generically but not specific list. There's no explicit list of benefits (health, 401k, etc). The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "We offer competitive benefits" but not specific. Is that enough? Likely not; we need specific content. Since no specific benefits listed, we should omit Benefits section.
- Pay: Compensation: $130,000 - $140,000 (USD). That's specific. So we need a Pay section with that info. Use
Pay
with $130,000 - $140,000 (USD)
.
- Schedule: Hybrid work: Employees work in a hybrid model balancing collaboration in our office and remote work. That's schedule info. So we need a Schedule section. Use Schedule
with Hybrid work: Employees work in a hybrid model balancing collaboration in our office and remote work.
- Location: Could be included as metadata but not a heading. Could be placed in a short maybe under a generic "Overview"? But we can include location in a short paragraph maybe under a heading? Not required. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include a short
at top maybe.
We also have Overview paragraph about WildBrain CPLG. Could be included as a prose paragraph maybe under a heading like "About WildBrain CPLG"? But not required headings. We could just include it as a
after location.
We must not include duplicated lines, boilerplate like "We believe that our partnerships are about clarity, openness, and trust..." etc. That's part of Overview but maybe we keep it as it's substantive? It's somewhat generic but still part of company description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The overview is not boilerplate; it's description of company. We can keep it.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from sections we include.
