Thompson Coburn LLP · Birmingham, AL · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must include only sections with real specific content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting:
- About the role: description of firm, role purpose, etc. Could be "About the role" section.
- Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe "Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Required" and "Experience And Education Qualifications". Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections.
But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content.
We have content for About the role (firm description, role purpose). Yes.
Responsibilities: yes list.
Requirements: maybe "Must possess ability to provide leadership..." etc. That's knowledge, skills, abilities. Could be under Requirements.
Qualifications: "Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required; Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree preferred. Minimum of seven (7) years of experience in legal recruiting or a closely related field required. Minimum of three (3) years prior management experience required. Prior experience working within a law firm environment is required." That's qualifications.
Skills: maybe we could separate but we already have knowledge, skills, abilities. Could put under Skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Could put knowledge, skills, abilities under Skills section. Requirements could be something else? The instruction says use those headings; we can decide which to use. Probably we should have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. Pay and Schedule not specified (no pay or schedule specifics besides hybrid-remote after training, but schedule not given numeric; they mention hybrid-remote work schedule after initial period, but not specific hours. They mention full-time exempt, minimum 40 hours, sometimes outside normal business hours. That's schedule info? It says full-time position requires working a minimum of 40 hours on a regular basis. Oftentimes may also require working outside of normal business hours. That's schedule detail. So we could include Schedule section with that info. Pay: not specified (no salary). So we should not include Pay.
Benefits: list of benefits provided. Yes.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Now format: Use

We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not drop details like "After an initial period of training, this position is eligible for a hybrid-remote work schedule." That's schedule info.

Schedule: from text: "After an initial period of training, this position is eligible for a hybrid-remote work schedule." Also "This is a full-time position that requires working a minimum of 40 hours on a regular basis. Oftentimes, it may also require working outside of normal business hours to ensure the completion of position requirements." Also "Ability to travel as necessary." That could be schedule or maybe separate but we have schedule section.

Let's craft:
