Treat copy that describes the job as more important than copy that talks about the company.
\nStart with an opening paragraph: what the role is, who the company is, why it matters. If the ad mentions salary, include it here. One short paragraph about the company is enough — do not reproduce lengthy "About Us" text.
\nFor the role details, reuse the same section headings from the original ad (e.g. if the ad says "Responsibilities", use that heading, not "What you'll do"). Match the tone of the original: if formal, stay formal. If casual, stay casual.
\nRephrase bullet points in your own words while keeping the factual content. Combine related points where it makes sense.
\nContent that is not directly about the role (long company history, mission statements, investor lists, press quotes) should be paraphrased into a sentence or two at most — the job seeker needs to understand the company, not read its pitch deck.
\nFor benefits/perks: gather them from anywhere in the ad into one section. If the ad mentions nothing about benefits, omit a benefits section entirely.
\nDo not invent information that is not in the original ad.

\nWe're open to new ideas and value people who think for themselves and have their own head. The more perspectives we include, the more innovative our work can be.
