Then
Skills
containing: - Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, Outlook) - Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills We could also include maybe other skills? Not needed. ThenBenefits
containing the Comprehensive Benefits bullet list: - Health Benefits: Enjoy medical, dental, vision, and life insurance from day one - Annual Incentive Plan: Eligible for discretionary bonuses - HSA Contributions: Receive monthly employer contributions if you choose an HSA-eligible plan - 401(k) Match: Get employer matching on your 401(k) deferrals - ESOP: Benefit from our Employee Stock Ownership Plan, funded entirely by company profits - Paid Time Off: Accrue PTO based on your professional experience and enjoy eight paid holidays per year - Upon receiving a formal offer, you will get a personalized Total Compensation Overview (TCO) to see how everything adds up and what it looks like to be part of our community. We could also mention "Join Our 100% Employee-Owned Firm" but that's more description; maybe include as part of Benefits? It's not a benefit per se but could be included. However we should preserve substantive info; we could add a paragraph about employee-owned firm under Benefits or maybe under About the role? The text: "Join Our 100% Employee-Owned Firm At our company, every employee is an owner. From the front desk to the corner office, every one of our 430+ professionals thrive on collaboration and holistic development. Our success is collective, and so are the rewards." This is substantive; we could include as a paragraph under Benefits or maybe a separate section but we don't have a heading for culture. Could include under Benefits as a paragraph before the list. Since Benefits heading is for benefits, we could include that descriptive paragraph as part of Benefits section. It's not a benefit but it's about company; but we have no other heading. Might be okay to include as aunder Benefits before the list. Alternatively we could put it under About the role as additional description. But About the role already has description; we could add another paragraph. That might be okay. We'll decide to put it under Benefits as a
preceding the list. Then
Pay
containing salary range info: We need to preserve all detail: "The listed salary range reflects only the starting base pay range for candidates with 10-20 years of related experience in our Bloomington, Minnesota office. Compensation is determined based on technical skills, experience level, and qualifications. Candidates with more experience or different compensation expectations are encouraged to apply. All candidates are evaluated on the full scope of what they bring to the role. The base compensation range for this position out of our Duluth, MN would be $109,000 - $147,000." We should keep that as prose in. Then
Schedule
containing: "Hybrid Work Environment: Tuesday - Thursday In-Office | Monday & Friday WFH". As prose. We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, visa, pre-employment screening, notice to recruiters, etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. Make sure to close tags properly. We'll output:About the role
