- What does a Retail Scan Associate do? We are hiring part-time Retail Scan Associates to perform in-store data collections at assigned local retailers every week for 52 weeks a year, including holiday weeks. Our store types include grocery, convenience, drug, pet, and mass merchandise stores. We work with major brand retailers like Walmart, Kroger, Target, Albertsons, and other national chains, as well as small independent retailers. Retail Scan Associates use a downloadable app on their mobile phone to scan barcodes in numerous locations throughout each store. While scanning bar codes each week, you will be asked to provide the quantity of about 45% of the products you scan.
- What does a Retail Scan Associate's week look like? You will report to your store within the described deadline. You will complete Display Scanning on the entire store, which occurs every week and can take several hours to finish. Our Clients frequently request more specific details about products in the main stocking locations. This additional work is referred to as Custom Projects. They occur almost every week and can add 30 minutes to 2 hours of work for those weeks for each store. Adhering to weekly deadlines is critical to the data we deliver to our clients. We ask for dependability and quality-driven action from our Retail Scan Associates in exchange for the exciting opportunity of independence in the workplace, along with some flexibility. If you’d like to play a part in the retail landscape and this sounds like you, please read on!
- Qualifications: At least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license. Reliable vehicle with minimum state auto insurance coverage. Ability to endure being on your feet for long periods, while accessing products throughout the store. Ability to lift to 25 pounds, reach 6 feet in the air, and bend/stretch/stoop/stand. Ability to perform repetitive movements with hands, wrists, arms, and legs for prolonged periods. Attention to detail and ability to work independently. Must be a deadline-driven self-starter. Must have access to reliable Wi-Fi. Must be tech savvy. High school diploma or GED (preferred). You can apply for this role through methods such as our Careers website link and/or Intranet site for internal candidates. This role is subject to AI-assisted screening. Circana uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess resumes for alignment with job requirements by helping locate details in resumes that relate to the job description. This position is expected to remain open for approximately 30 days and may close earlier if sufficient qualified candidates are identified.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should not include "You can apply for this role through methods such as our Careers website link and/or Intranet site for internal candidates." That's application instruction. Also "This role is subject to AI-assisted screening..." maybe not boilerplate? It's about process; but it's not a requirement. Might be considered meta; but we can keep if it's substantive? The instruction says remove application instructions. The AI screening line is not exactly application instruction but maybe considered process. Safer to remove it? It's not a requirement for the job; it's about hiring process. Probably remove.
Also remove duplicated lines: there are duplicate lines like "Grocery Watertown SD 57201 Sunday, Monday, Tuesday" appears twice? Actually appears once? There's "Grocery WATERTOWN SD 57201 Monday, Tuesday" and "Grocery Watertown SD 57201 Sunday, Monday, Tuesday". Keep both.
We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for:
- About the role: description of role, tasks, purpose, independence, physical activity, etc.
- Responsibilities: scanning barcodes, providing quantity for 45%, display scanning, custom projects, adhering to deadlines, dependability.
- Requirements: qualifications list (age, driver's license, vehicle, insurance, physical ability, lift 25 lbs, reach 6 ft, etc., attention to detail, independent work, deadline-driven self-starter, reliable Wi-Fi, tech savvy, HS diploma/GED preferred).
- Skills: maybe attention to detail, independent work, tech savvy, etc. Could be combined with Requirements. But we can separate: Skills could be "Attention to detail, ability to work independently, deadline-driven self-starter, tech savvy". However we must not invent sections with filler. We have explicit qualifications list; we can treat that as Qualifications. Skills maybe not explicitly separate; but we could still include Skills if we have content. The posting mentions "Ability to endure being on your feet...", "Ability to lift...", "Ability to perform repetitive movements...", "Attention to detail and ability to work independently.", "Must be a deadline-driven self-starter.", "Must have access to reliable Wi-Fi.", "Must be tech savvy." Those are more like requirements/qualifications. So we can put them under Qualifications.
- Benefits: we have Competitive Compensation ($15-$16/hr), Flexibility in working hours, Paid travel at your hourly rate (minus first & last 15 minutes), Paid sick time, Eligibility for 401(k) with employer matching contributions, Monetary referral program.
- Pay: we have compensation range; but Benefits already includes compensation. The instruction says only create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections if posting actually states them. We have compensation stated; we could put under Benefits (as they did) or separate Pay. Since they gave a Benefits bullet list that includes compensation, we can keep Benefits section and not create separate Pay. However we could also create Pay section with the compensation and maybe not duplicate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to combine compensation into Benefits. So we will have Benefits section with those items.
- Schedule: we have base hours 6-13 hrs per week, additional hours 1-2 hrs per week for special projects, higher demand Jan-June, full scheduling details reviewed in interview. Also route/store location workdays: Monday, Tuesday etc. So we have schedule info.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule.
We might also include Requirements but Qualifications covers. Could also have Requirements separate but we can keep Qualifications.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not include boilerplate like video link, "Link-A Peak at the FSR Role". That seems like a link; we should remove as it's likely navigation/application instruction? It's not a requirement; it's a promotional video link. Probably remove.
Also remove "Get a glimpse into the day in the life of a Retail Scan Associate." That's prose but maybe part of About the role? It's describing a video; could be considered fluff. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? It's not substantive job detail. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. It's just a marketing line. Safer to remove? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not those. It's just a sentence about video. Could keep but it's not essential. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; this is not substantive about job duties. Might be considered filler. I'd remove it.
Also "Being a Retail Scan Associate offers an opportunity in retail, providing workplace independence, some flexibility in hours, and job consistency." That's substantive about role; keep.
"There will be continuous physical activity throughout the workday shift." Keep.
Now craft sections.
