Week 10 - 06.June.2026

Progress: Email Notifications, Mobile Responsiveness & Recruitment Pipeline

After a short break, this week delivered global email notifications, mobile layout improvements, and the core of the recruitment pipeline: recommendations, applicant tracking, and the offer-response flow.

Notifications & responsiveness

• Implemented global email notifications and responsive mobile layouts.
• Fixed profile and story media upload network errors and optimized mobile responsiveness.
• Refactored file upload to use only the remote Sheep service and updated API routes.

Recruitment pipeline

• Implemented matching recommendations, applicant tracking, an offer-response flow, messaging automation, and admin moderation.
• Enabled employers to view the profiles of applicants and render profiles based on post type.
• Added student-side saved-jobs viewing in the profile.

Hardening

• Validated the user role on login and added register-validation DTOs.
• Improved error handling with a shared getError helper and fixed an admin dashboard logout bug.

Challenge

Returning after a break, the week’s biggest challenge was the recruitment pipeline itself — matching recommendations, applicant tracking, the offer-response flow, messaging automation, and admin moderation all share state and had to stay consistent end to end. Alongside that, making the whole UI responsive on mobile and chasing down profile/story media-upload network errors (resolved by moving uploads fully onto the remote Sheep service) demanded broad, cross-cutting fixes.
