We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Who Are We? description: POOLCORP is world's leading distributor... etc. This is about company. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is for role description. But we have "Who Are We?" which is about company. Could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if content matches. We have "What We Offer" which is benefits etc. That could map to Benefits. Also "Job Summary" is about the role. Could be "About the role". Then "What You Will Do" is responsibilities. Then "What We Are Looking For" is requirements/qualifications/skills. Then there is compensation: "The annual compensation for this position in NV, NY, WA, CA, CO, CT, NJ, RI, and HI is $28.85/hour based on a full-time schedule." Also mention relocation assistance, etc. So we can have Pay section. Also schedule? Not explicitly given besides full-time schedule. Could infer schedule is full-time but not explicit. The instruction says never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does mention "based on a full-time schedule." That's a statement about schedule. So we could include Schedule section with that detail. However we need to avoid filler. It's specific: full-time schedule. So we can include Schedule.
Benefits: "What We Offer" includes list: Employer of Choice (pace fast, atmosphere fun, people friendly), Benefits Package - 401k with company match, health benefits, wellness program, education reimbursement, paid travel, employee stock, paid time off, and many more! Growth, Continuous Learning, Community Involvement, Safety, Stability. Also later: "Our comprehensive benefits program offers the flexibility of benefits that meet the needs of our employees and their families. Some of these benefits include medical, dental and vision care, company-paid life and long-term disability insurance, prescription drug coverage, flexible spending and health savings accounts, 401(k) with company match, employee stock purchase plan, and employee assistance and education reimbursement programs." So we have benefits details.
Thus we can have Benefits section with list.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What We Are Looking For" includes bullet-like sentences. We can split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (leadership, etc). But we can combine into one section maybe Requirements. However instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could have sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (What You Will Do), Requirements (What We Are Looking For), Benefits (What We Offer + benefits details), Pay (compensation), Schedule (full-time). That's six sections.
We must ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, drug-free, safety-sensitive repeated, etc. Also remove "Learn More About The Position By Visiting Www.poolcorp.com/mit." That's application instruction? It's a link; we should remove. Also remove "Please note that benefits are subject to change." That's maybe boilerplate but it's specific? It's a note about benefits; could keep? It's not boilerplate but it's a note. Might keep as part of benefits? It's not a list item but could be a p. However it's somewhat generic; but it's about benefits. Could keep as a sentence.
Also remove "All offers to external candidates for employment are contingent upon the successful completion of pre-employment drug testing and background verifications before employment is finalized." That's boilerplate legal; remove.
Also remove duplicate lines about safety-sensitive etc.
Also remove "POOLCORP is an Equal Opportunity Employer – By Choice." etc.
Also remove "This position is considered “safety-sensitive”..." duplicates.
Also remove "At POOLCORP, we are committed to our employees’ success." maybe part of benefits? It's generic but could be kept as part of benefits intro.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep specifics like locations list, training details, relocation after May, etc.
Let's extract substantive info:
