Manager, Leadership Recruiting & Strategic Search

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to extract content from posting. We have company overview, overview, key accountabilities (responsibilities), key capabilities (skills?), minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, additional considerations (relocation, work auth), salary range (pay), benefits description, eligibility (age), EEO etc (remove). Also maybe "Benefits" section: they mention competitive Total Rewards package, health benefits, retirement, financial wellbeing, time off, wellbeing support, perks, annual incentive program. That's specific enough. Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule. Pay: we have salary range $110,800 - $166,300 Annual. Also mention total rewards. So include Pay section. Benefits: include. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications could be combined under Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could put under Qualifications heading. Skills: Key Capabilities list could be under Skills. Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities. About the role: maybe the Overview paragraphs. We need to not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add a heading for job title. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from each section. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Additional Considerations International relocation or international remote working arrangements (outside of the US) will not be considered Applicants for this position must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. General Mills will not sponsor applicants for this position for work visas" - that's maybe considered eligibility? It's about work authorization. Could be part of Qualifications? Might be considered as a requirement. But it's not a typical qualification; it's eligibility. Could be included under Qualifications as a note. However instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that info somewhere. Perhaps under Qualifications as a bullet? Or maybe under a separate section like "Eligibility". But we only have allowed headings list; we could add a short paragraph under Qualifications or maybe under Responsibilities? Better to add a short paragraph under Qualifications (or maybe a separate "Eligibility" heading not in list but we could still include if content exists? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we should stick to those headings; we can't add other headings like Eligibility. So we need to fold that info into existing sections, maybe Qualifications or Requirements. The posting also has "ELIGIBILITY Applicants must meet a minimum 18-year age qualification." That's also eligibility. Could be under Qualifications as a note. We also have "Requirements" heading not used yet; we could put minimum qualifications there, and "Qualifications" for preferred? But they said we can use Requirements as a heading. Might be better to separate: Requirements = Minimum Qualifications, Qualifications = Preferred Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: - About the role: combine Company Overview and Overview paragraphs (the first two paragraphs). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: Key Accountabilities bullet points (the paragraphs under that heading). We'll convert each sentence or clause into

items. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: Key Capabilities bullet list. - Benefits: description of Total Rewards package. - Pay: Salary range and note about total rewards. - Schedule: not present, omit. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each section has content. We need to preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any details from the posting. Let's extract details. Company Overview paragraph: "We exist to make food the world loves. But we do more than that. Our company is a place that prioritizes being a force for good, a place to expand learning, explore new perspectives and reimagine new possibilities, every day. We look for people who want to bring their best — bold thinkers with big hearts who challenge one another and grow together. Because becoming the undisputed leader in food means surrounding ourselves with people who are hungry for what’s next." Overview paragraph: "Talent is our competitive advantage at General Mills.

We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the work auth and relocation note somewhere. Could be under Qualifications as a note, or maybe under Requirements. Since it's about eligibility, we could add a bullet under Requirements: "Must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis; international relocation or remote work outside the US not considered; no visa sponsorship." And also "Applicants must meet a minimum 18-year age qualification." Could be another bullet. We must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep them as bullet points. Now we need to
