HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections where there is real specific content.
We have job description: Company Description (maybe not needed as heading? Could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" is about the company, not role. Could be "About the role" maybe not. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We have:
- Company Description (maybe we can put under "About the role"? Or maybe we skip because it's not role-specific? But we need to preserve substantive info. Could put under
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are examples; we can use others if appropriate. However to be safe, we could split into Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But then each would be thin but still have specific content: Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, discounts. Pay: salary range $165k-$190k (bonus & LTI eligible). Schedule: hybrid, minimum three days per week. That's substantive enough. Not thin like "commensurate with experience". So we can create three sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodation request, unsolicited assistance, etc.
We must preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract:

We want people who approach business partners with curiosity, are willing to roll up their sleeves, and want to contribute to a legal team that shares expertise and learns from one another. We don't expect anyone to know everything. We do expect strong judgment, initiative, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to learn, take on new problems, and keep growing as lawyers while helping the team and VERSANT succeed."
Additional Requirements (Hybrid, Benefits, Pay) we can split.
Hybrid (Schedule): "Hybrid: This position has been designated as hybrid, generally contributing from the office a minimum of three days per week. Subject to change based on business need."
Benefits: "This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks."
Pay: "Salary range: $165,000-$190,000 (bonus & LTI eligible)"
We should not include the extra lines about eligibility for company sponsored benefits etc repeated.
Now produce HTML:
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We have:
- Company Description (maybe we can put under "About the role"? Or maybe we skip because it's not role-specific? But we need to preserve substantive info. Could put under About the role
with paragraph describing role and company? Actually "About the role" could include description of role and maybe company context. We'll include company description there.
- Job Description: VERSANT is looking for ... This role will provide product, privacy, and data protection advice... This is a role for a lawyer who enjoys... This can be part of About the role.
- Essential Responsibilities: list bullet points.
- Qualifications: list bullet points (J.D., 7+ years, etc.)
- Preferred Experience: bullet points.
- How We Work: paragraph.
- Additional Requirements: Hybrid, benefits, salary range.
- Additional Information: EEO etc (boilerplate to remove). Also accommodation request line etc. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should strip out the EEO statement, accommodation request, policy about unsolicited assistance, etc. Also "Additional Information" includes many boilerplate lines; we should remove them. Keep only substantive info: Hybrid schedule, benefits, salary range. Also maybe "Additional Requirements" includes hybrid and benefits and salary. We'll keep that.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:
About the role
Company description paragraph + role description.
Responsibilities
- ... each responsibility
Qualifications

Preferred Experience

Additional Requirements
Hybrid: This position has been designated as hybrid, generally contributing from the office a minimum of three days per week. Subject to change based on business need. This position is eligible for company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and a variety of other discounts and perks. Salary range: $165,000-$190,000 (bonus & LTI eligible)
We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule separate headings because we combined them. But the instruction says use those headings if content exists. We could split into Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. However we have hybrid schedule info (schedule) and benefits and pay. Could create three sections: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to avoid thin sections; but we have real content for each. Let's decide: The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to keep as one "Additional Requirements" section. However they gave examples of headings including Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But they said use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't mandate we must use them if we have content; we can choose other headings like "Additional Requirements". But they said "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are examples; we can use others if appropriate. However to be safe, we could split into Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But then each would be thin but still have specific content: Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid leave, tuition reimbursement, discounts. Pay: salary range $165k-$190k (bonus & LTI eligible). Schedule: hybrid, minimum three days per week. That's substantive enough. Not thin like "commensurate with experience".
