About Actalent: description of company.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe not separate), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (maybe not present). The posting includes Pay And Benefits, Workplace Type (maybe schedule?), but schedule not explicit. We have no schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section unless present. Benefits present. Pay present. Workplace Type maybe not needed as separate heading; could be part of About the role or separate? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Work Environment? Not in list but could be part of About the role. We'll keep sections minimal but substantive.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can combine similar info.
We must not include boilerplate like equal opportunity, accommodation, AI, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "Application Deadline" maybe considered metadata? It's not boilerplate but it's a detail; we might keep it as a short paragraph maybe under About the role? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Application Deadline is minor metadata; we could fold into a short
maybe under About the role or at end. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; does deadline count as substantive? Probably yes, but it's minor metadata; we can include as a short paragraph.
We need to avoid duplication.
